Gauthier Soho in City of London, Westminster

Excellent all round, with dishes full of pleasant surprises.

Exceptional food, excellent service and relaxing atmosphere

We couldn't have made a better choice for our wedding anniversary. The whole meal was absolutely delicious, each dish was a bomb of flavor in the mouth, the wines recommended to us accompanied each plate wonderfully, it was a fabulous experience! Additionally, the waitresses were pleasant and we chatted a lot. The chef even did us the honor of coming to meet us at the table, in short, nothing but positives, I really want to come back to London just to come and eat at chef Gauthier's restaurant!

Best restaurant I've ever been to and I've been to Plates and EMP. Every course was exciting and full of flavour. The desert was sublime! Will defo be back.

Highly recommended! The perfect place for romantic and intimate dinners, if you want to impress your date or have a fine dining experience, this is the perfect place. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm, attentive service. The tasting menu was a 10/10 in creativity, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The alcohol free cocktails were equally impressive, and complemented the dishes perfectly. They also adapted our menu to our gluten free requests with no issues whatsoever. This is a must-visit for anyone that appreciates good food and fine dining, whether you're vegan or not. This place is a true gem in the heart of Soho that redefines plant-based cuisine, offering a very different experience to what you can find elsewhere. They certainly proved plant-based dining can be luxurious, refined, and utterly delicious. I’ll definitely be returning soon!

The best vegan culinary experience in London.

it was my first experience having a vegan tasting menu and it was fabulous! went to the restaurant with meat eaters and they also loved. unique flavours and creative combinations! lovely experience. the place is a little dark but i guess that’s the vibe

Amazing. Quiet atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. For a special occasion.

Simply amazing! A new way of enjoyment of taste and elegance that was not perceived before.

The best vegan culinary experience in London, delicious food and great service

Absolutely wonderful food. Highly recommend. We will be back very soon.

Overall we really enjoyed our vegan dining experience at Gauthier Soho. The food was on the whole extremely good and tasty. However, we didn't appreciate having to ring and knock on the door about five times before we were let in, especially as it was a rainy day. We were also told that one couple couldn't share a flight of wine. We've been to many other high-end restaurants for tasting menus and having a half flight has never been an issue before. The sommelier was superb and provided an excellent service with good explanations of both the food and the wine. However, the other waiting staff could have done better. Nevertheless, as a vegan, I recommend this restaurant and the tasting menus. It would just be preferable if Gauthier Soho could improve on the above issues to make the entire experience amazing.

Finally vegan fine dining in London! Cosy and relaxed atmosphere, excellent food, wine and service, will definitely return here the next time I'm in London..

The food was well presented and the plant based caviar was amazing . Nouvelle cousine doesn’t means that it’s acceptable to serve 1 raviolo or squirted of a cracker for the “ petit Dinner tester “ . The value is not appropriate £55 x person + Service ..= at least £75 x person . I

Great dinner, the flavors were exceptional and the wine pairing absolutely marvelous. It is truly incredible how the spirit and taste of French cuisine is kept throughout a full vegan dinner even in the most meaty dishes. This should inspire other chefs for sure.

Staff were extremely kind and professional. Food was phenomenal with drinks pairings to die for. Fantastic!

I had a lovely anniversary here - highly recommend to anyone looking for a special evening with a loved one!

We’ve now experienced all 4 seasons and each one has been fantastic. The food, wines and service never let us down. Another fabulous dining experience!

I have dined at this restaurant multiple times, but strangely, I have never once been recognized as a returning guest. Each time, I am asked if it is my first visit, which feels impersonal, especially at a restaurant in this price range. I used to visit before Covid, and was curious to see how the transition to a fully vegan menu had evolved. Some dishes were enjoyable, and the effort is commendable, considering there’s no diary or other animal ingredients. However, others felt far too minimalistic to be considered a proper main course. A swede, for example, is an inexpensive ingredient—if it is the star of the dish, I would expect a more generous portion rather than it being rationed as though it were wagyu beef. Service was another point of concern. When we were handed the Grand Dîner menu and asked instead for the Petit Dîner, the waiter’s reaction made it seem as if this option didn’t even exist, despite it clearly being available. This was surprising. In the past, the restaurant had a team of well-trained French and Italian staff who could eloquently explain the dishes in multiple languages. This time, I struggled to fully understand what was being presented at the table. The absence of a sommelier was also noticeable; there used to be an excellent Italian sommelier who added to the experience. The physical state of the restaurant is another issue. The staircase beneath the carpet is worryingly squeaky and feels as if it may soon require urgent refurbishment. As for the meal itself, I enjoyed parts of it, but certain choices were puzzling. Starting with an amuse-bouche heavy on cumin meant that the spice lingered on my palate throughout the entire lunch. To then find cumin again in another dish felt repetitive and out of place, I expected a French dining experience, not one leaning toward Indian flavours. Overall, while I appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to its new direction, there are clear areas that need improvement.

A truly wonderful experience. Food was incredible and the service was exceptional. Can’t wait to come again.

So slay, a great birthday meal. Menu updating seasonally is amazing.

Elevated dining, erring on the side of expensive -- but worth it. Reservations necessary, and a bit convoluted -- but worth the aggravation.

We had a truly unforgettable experience at gauthier - couldn’t recommend it more highly especially for celebrating an occasion in style! Each dish is clearly so well thought out and the drinks pairing was wonderful - there is also a soft drink pairing with very creative flavours which has to be tried in addition to the wine. All the staff were amazingly attentive and immediately made us feel comfortable - a big thanks in particular to Kyria and Joanna for their fantastic service which made our night truly special! Will definitely return!

The 5 of us had a beautiful experience. One splendid course after another. Vegan elegance. Thank you!

i had their six course meal. everything was wonderful and exquisitely presented. the flavors were unique and unexpected. the service was personable and attentive. i had a great experience here and would definitely go back.

Brilliant in everywhere, unreal food and service

This was our first time at Gauthier and it didn’t disappoint. It is a fantastic vegan restaurant and we had an exceptional dining experience. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, making us feel welcome and well-informed about the menu. The dishes were full of amazing flavors, showing just how delicious and creative vegan food can be. The service was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. It’s a great place to visit for anyone looking for a high-quality vegan meal.

I had an amazing time at Gauthier in Soho, London—a stunning vegan restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with elegant decor that set a lovely mood. The food was a beautiful fusion of flavors. Each dish was a work of art, and the staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. It was a truly memorable dining experience! Thank you very much for the experience !

We enjoyed the Classic Petit Dinner 5 course Winter menu. Each and every course was beautifully presented and full of flavour. Some seriously great cooking. Service was warm, friendly and informative. Lovely dining room. A great experience in Soho. Awesome value. Highly recommended.

An excellent evening at Gauthier Soho. Some fantastic modern French plant-based cooking. Innovative, flavoursome, precise dishes, complimented by professional, friendly service. Lovely dining room with a refined atmosphere. Superb value too, with 5 courses for £55. Loved it and we will be back for more.

If you are not vegan then it is hard to justify going to this restaurant. The tasting menu is the only option and it is £95.00. If you want non alcoholic pairings that's another £45. If you want alcoholic pairings that's another £75. I opted for a pineapple fizz non alcoholic drink which was £12. Not worth it. There are so many courses and 50% are not great. The best one was carrot with truffle sauce. That came with one carrot!!! I couldn't eat two the courses as I didn't like them at all. The main course was sweet potatoes with spinach and vegan gravy. The gravy was not very nice at all. The highlight was the desserts which didn't lack flavour by being vegan. There were three small desserts and then a main dessert. I wouldn't go back but if you are a vegan it is a nice experience. Our bill was £244 and we had one still water, one coke and one pineapple fizz to drink.

Family supper for 4: superb vegan tasting menu with excellently paired wines, imaginative, beautifully cooked and presented in an unpretentious but lovely / elegant town house over three floors (so each room is not crowded). Excellent service from professional but friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and passionate staff. Three of us are not actually vegan but all of us thought it was amazing: two of us had been once previously for the earlier, shorter menu and all of us would / will go again. Cheap, no; worth it, yes - it’s pretty special !!

Very nice culinary discovery, each dish is very elaborate, a first for me plant-based version

Came here for lunch on Saturday and the experience was superb. The staff were lovely and very knowledgeable about drinks, the setting was lovely, the food was stunning and drinks delicious. Highly recommend a visit!

We had a lovely experience, and even though came unprepared (with strict dietary requirements not mentioned in advance)-- the staff was accommodating and chef managed to deliver on a short notice.

I never dine alone but this experience was so wonderful I had such a good time. Staff was friendly and explained everything very well and the food was perfection.

Delicious refined food, friendly knowledgeable staff. A delight

Amazing food, even the stuff we’d never heard of! Great service. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful meal. Great service. Every course was a new sensation. Great service. A great experience.

If you are vegetarian and want to book an expensive restaurant with Vegan 10 course taster menu after 730pm then this might be the place for you. The customer service is pretty good, I changed my booking time on the telephone with them 3 times and they were fine about it. The restaurant is right bang in the middle of Soho, you wouldn't think that inside as its super quiet. Its actually an old house, on arrival it felt like we were showing up at a house party, apart from the fact we were greeted at the door by a waitress. The decor is nice but not my taste, its modern zesty colours, lots of yellow. Upstairs the dining room was very quiet, we would have appreciated music playing in the background (if there was it was too quiet). The waiting staff were friendly and informative. The food was super nice, I don't remember tasting a dish that I didn't like. Our meal for two with 2 glasses of red wine and few bottles of water cost £250. It was a really nice experience, however neither the food nor the ambience was WOW, which I would expect at this price. I wouldn't dine here again as I am sure there are better places in this price bracket. I imagine its a good place to dine before Theatre evenings, their pre-theatre menu is 5 courses and probably £120 for two, much more reasonable. All in all a good experience but don't expect miracles here.

very nice servings even if im not vegan but my gf is, beautiful service, the food was amazing

A beautiful extremely tasty menu. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome on our first visit. It won’t be our last 😊

The food was fantastic and so tasty. The service was brilliant, knowledgeable but not overbearing. A great experience and we will definitely be back.

Huge experience. Absolutely recommend to try it.

Dining at Gauthier Soho was an unforgettable experience. This Michelin-starred vegan French restaurant is truly a masterpiece of culinary artistry. Every dish was an explosion of flavors—each bite felt like a carefully curated journey through the best of French cuisine. The creativity and precision in every plate were nothing short of extraordinary. The staff were exceptional, acting more like knowledgeable guides than servers. Their passion for the food and its story elevated the entire experience, making each course feel personal and immersive. The ambiance was elegant yet welcoming, perfectly complementing the exquisite dishes. Gauthier Soho is a celebration of flavor, innovation, and hospitality. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience vegan fine dining at its absolute best.

We had the Classic Grand Diner for lunch, and all dishes were excellent. A really great plant-based fine dining experience.

One if not the best vegan fine dining experience I have hade. Everything was 10/10 especially the dessert 😊

This was an absolutely exquisite experience. From the ring on the doorbell to the final petite fours, everything was a flavor dance. I recommend the non-alcoholic pairing with the petite diner

Poor communication during booking, leading to an underwhelming experience.

I am not actually vegan but my wife is and this was a fantastic option for her birthday. It's fine dining but relaxed and the staff are so well informed about all the choices on the menus. We had a lovely time and would certainly go back to see what other gastronomic masterpieces they come up with in future. It's not necessarily cheap as it's a set menu, but we had ten courses (if I counted correctly) of varying sizes and were extremely full by the end and I would say that it is very good value for the level of food and service provided. The brioche course was a particular highlight for me - as someone who doesn't live mushrooms it perhaps opened my eyes a little. Even Swede gets it's moment to shine.

The atmosphere and staff were amazing. And the food.... Speechless!

This was a fabulously enlightening vegan menu, very skilfully created dishes, everything delicious. Really enjoyed everything. Only stars dropped for: it being an old building conversation so a) having no waiting space and not being clear at booking that turning up early (even a few minutes) is a bad idea because you'll have to leave and come back b) sitting near a window for 4 hours meant I was absolutely freezing by the end as it was about -2 out that day. Also, almost everyone who arrived after us left before us, I felt like I waited for the check/payment for so long - the cold may have contributed here! Otherwise service was great, everyone friendly and helpful. I felt bad I couldn't finish the dessert, which was delicious, but SO rich and large and at course 10/10, it was never going to work! Definitely not a winter restaurant I don't think, otherwise would consider trying a new menu in future.

An absolute must visit vegan or not. This is truly a wonderful celebration of all vegetables. Alexis Gauthier and his team are magicians in creating this wonderful petit diner menu. Perfect for before heading to the theatre. Already booked to return in February.

Wonderful staff, very attentive. The agnoletti on the winter menu was the standout. Beautiful.

Incredible food, wonderful staff, caring and attentive and the space itself is beautiful. Such a wonderful restaurant!

The best vegan food in London. The attention to detail, the flavours, presentation etc is just amazing! The staff are super nice and we loved the whole experience. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting London!

The chef is excellent in making perfect sauces. My favorite is the pasta with mushrooms sauce and the pear martini. I’m a strong supporter of cruelty free restaurants and products. They do it so well and deliver a msg that quality doesn’t compromise when you insist on value. PS. The kelp carvier is excellent too. I can’t tell it’s vegan!!

Excellent. Food and service was amazing and a lovely place to spend our anniversary.

Food not as good as usually is (we have been 5 times) some odd combinations that really did not go together (probably 3 ) Presentation not as good as usual . Waitress shirt need an iron .

Joanna and Kyriah were sensational servers

We decided to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday and we were not disappointed. We were shown to a private dinning room - albeit this may be the norm in the restaurant - so we’re able to enjoy our conversation unlike in many restaurants these days where the noise is excessive. We had the Christmas tasting menu with two glasses of wine (or non alcoholic equivalent). The menu was inventive and showed off the skills of the chefs - clever cooking, without trying to simulate a meat menu (not a faux burger in sight!). The service was also excellent with the servers demonstrating their knowledge of each dish - just as it should be at this level of cooking. It is without doubt the best vegan meal we have had so far (and we have tried lots of vegan food since our daughter turned vegan several years ago). Undoubtedly fine dining, and listed in the Michelin guide, albeit not yet starred. Nevertheless on our experience the 1 star cannot be far away…..

Delicious food and thoughtful service from staff. Lovely experience, thank you!

I’m not one to indulge in degustations, but this was incredible and I highly recommend it. My fiancé wanted to try this lovely place and wow, I was blown away! Lots of admiration and respect for what Gauthier does. It’s amazing that all of this is vegan, thank you for the delicious meal, warm ambiance and lovely service.

Fantastic menu, with mouthwatering innovative dishes. Gets better every time. Great service and a truly respectable restaurant and restaurant owner.

Thank you for making this amazing experience available in London. It was beyond incredible.

Intimate with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, just the swap of repetitive muzac for something else could improve it. The petit menu wasn't available on our visit, but the ten course offered lots of different flavours, which made the occasion more special. My thanks to the entire restaurant team, for handling two food intolerances well.

Absolutely amazing experience!!

We were gifted a voucher towards a dinner. The food and hospitality was excellent. The ambiance was nice as it was an intimate dining room which was a nice change.

AMAZING!!!! Highly recommend for a date night. Great food great service

One of the best vegan meals you’ll ever eat. Stellar service, a divine high-end experience!

It’s the third time we came and every time we are positively surprised by the different tastes and flavours. We love it! Great service too.

Such a wonderful experience for my boyfriend’s birthday! Thanks for making our special occasion that much more special.

Exquisite flavours beautifully presented Great service and gorgeous atmosphere- a very special place and what makes it utter perfection is that it’s all vegan.

I had Le Petit Dîner during the winter time, the service was flawless and out of the 6 courses, the only one I did not enjoy was the main course, which was very heavy. Unfortunately the "Fois Gras" as not good at all, so we ended up not eating the main course at all. The staff was incredible.

Booked this meal with a lot of expectation for my 40th birthday and was the most unpleasant meal I haver had. This evening was a big fiasco: I book a table for 19:30pm, arriving at 19:27 at the door, very disappointed as there were literally a cue to enter. I tried to see what was happening and there was only one staff member collecting all those peoples jackets and take them to the tables. After 10m we were seated and the waiter came and said sorry for the waiting but they were rotating seating times - this is a poor excuse. If they know this can happened they job is literally manage that situation: ie. accept less bookings at the same time; have a gap between rotation. We started the meal with an amuse bouche but we still did not had water or wine - I want to mention that we had chosen the wine pairing, so straight away we did miss one wine. After that the waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink, I remind them about the wine pairing and that I would like some water as well. They served us with the water first and them bring the 1st wine - Ive learn the one to be served for the 1st 3 dishes - Pairing wine isn't an exact science but that should be a wine per dish. The food start to arrive and one after the other was blend, flavourless, no textures and many ingredients been used repeatedly over and over.We had 3 times apple/pear pure. Quinoa used in 2 dishes, the same type of herbs all over again. No protein at all - The tofu dish had literally 2 small pieces the size of a finger tip. I burned myself in the bread that they called brioche - the only hot food we had all night. No exploration of sources of protein, seitan, beans, etc. The huge gap between dishes-we literally had finished each one in less than 1 minutes and waited more than 5 for the next one. The tasting menu had 10 dishes with 4 dishes resembling the sea and only one "meat" flavours. This meant as well that we had to drink white wine all night except for one dish. As the dessert came I was wishing for a more elaborate congratulation, a plate with a Happy birthday wright with chocolate, not even mention my name, no candle; was the end of a very disapointing evening. To finish must say that toilets are a disgrace - No individual leaf toilet paper makes you look around for the roll - there was roll paper all over like a pub in the case it runs out for you to reach out and use it. In the washing area paper all over the floors, no cloth towels. Restaurant music was terrible, toilets music amazing - How is it you have 2 different types of music in the same space? Me and my wife are both chefs and vegans for 5 years now and we cook better and more flavour meals at home. Very bad experience.

Delicious, innovative vegan food. It felt like everything was made of, and exalted, vegetables, and yet the sea celeriac and the black pudding main were extremely reminiscent of the meat-based version while having a distinct identity. Overall a lovely evening with a warm and homely atmosphere.

Lovely for a special occasion. Showcases what can be done with a plant based menu. Beautiful flavours and presentation

Small cozy and quiet atmosphere with excellent food and waiter/waitress experience. Cordially welcomed and warmly served. Appreciate the great experience on my wedding anniversary

I cannot fault Gauthier. The food was truly exceptional and gets better every time we visit. The staff were very friendly. I value everything that Alexis Gauthier and Gauthier stands for - animal welfare and respect comes first - an extremely innovative and constantly evolving menu which delivers every time, without the need for cruelty to animals. A delicious tasting experience which always leaves me wanting more!

This was my second visit to Gautier in Soho, and I had high expectations after my first experience, which was truly memorable thanks to its intensely flavored dishes, exceptional techniques, and beautiful hospitality. I was genuinely impressed! Unfortunately, this time was memorable for entirely different reasons. The food fell flat, featuring an overwhelming amount of shiitake mushroom powder, apple purée, vegan cream spread, and subpar vegan cheeses. The culinary techniques seemed average, and the service for the first part was exceedingly slow that made us tired and anxious. There were a few redeeming moments, particularly with the canapés and the final dessert, which felt appropriate for a restaurant of this caliber. However, the majority of the dishes were underwhelming and something I could easily replicate at home, potentially with better quality vegan cheeses. Overall, my experience was disappointing, especially considering the price point. Additionally, the restrooms could use better maintenance and attention during service hours.

The entire dining experience was exceptional. You couldn't imagine such a venue in a busy soho. Right from the get go we were warmly welcomed. The menu was better than expected and the wine pairing was on point. Each dish was beautifully presented and was divine. I am by no means vegan nor a vegetarian but I did not miss the meat. The menu does more than compensate for the carnivores. Amazing 👏

A masterclass in plant based cookery. Beautiful flavours, every mouthful a taste explosion. Enjoyed the wine pairing. It would have been nice if the non-alcoholic drinks offering had a little more thought. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience

Es war ganz wunderbar vom Essen bis zum Service. Die Weinbegleitung war sehr gut, aber auch die alkoholfreie Variante hat meiner Tochter sehr gut geschmeckt.

Exquisite presentation Incredible flavours Imaginative combinations of food Stunning experience And utter kindness to animals I Love You Guys And one day hope to shake Mr Gauthier’s hand!

We tried the Christmas lunch menu and we're blown away by the perfect menu, expertly paired wine and incredible hospitality. A really special menu at a really special place

Amazing to be able to bring our pup who is also vegan! We’ve wanted to visit for so long and it didn’t disappoint. Just loved to come to a restaurant that puts compassion for animals first.

A 5-star plant-based dining experience - highly er!

Food was absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault it. The only thing that let the meal down was the non-alcoholic drinks pairing. They weren't very nice and didn't enhance the meal, but let it down slightly. The staff were really lovely. As I said, highly recommend the food, just not the drinks.

Wow… just wow! Amazing plant-based dining experience… not enough photos to do it justice as we wanted to enjoy the experience, but the dessert had to be captured! Outstanding and highly recommended… thanks all at Gauthier Soho.

Amazing evening at Gauthier! The food was incredible and service was outstanding.

Food was creative and impressive, wine pairing added to the experience and waiting staff great.

I don't see how they don't have at least one star

What an incredible tasting menu. Every dish was better then the last. Can not wait until we can come back again.

I don't understand how they don't have at least one star

The food was incredible, and the service was impeccable! Kiriya clearly knew what she was talking about - thank you for celebrating an amazing birthday with us!
