Pretty decent Dutch bar serving a variety of lagers and bottled beers. They show the football upstairs and downstairs and will even turn the bizarre music off if you ask nicely. There's no bitter, and the food is a bit ropey, but this is the best place you'll find this close to the hellhole that is Leicester Square.

I'd been here before although forgotten about it until last night, well, I won't do that again. If you're looking for great value simple French cusine in Soho, you can't go wrong. We all the excellent steak frites, mine was cooked perfectly and was an delicious cut of rib-eye. The wine was decent, the company fun, and they even had a great pianist banging out the standards, including a cake cover! Go there.

J'étais allée dans ce restaurant il y a quelques temps mais je ne m'en suis pas souvenue avant hier soir; eh bien, désormais, je ne ferai plus ça. Si vous êtes à la recherche de cuisine française simple et de grande qualité à Soho, vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper. Nous avons tous pris l'excellent steak frites, le mien était cuit à la perfection et c'était un délicieux morceau de faux-filet. Le vin était assez bon, l'équipe sympa et il y avait même un grand pianistejouant les classiques. Allez-y.

It's a chain! Well, I didn't know that before I came to Qype to review it, but, it's still going to get 5 stars from me. I'm not a big burger-eater, but these aren't your average burger, nor even your 'gourmet', but a cut above the rest. I should really upload a half eaten shot so you can see just how rare these things are.
Delicious, and you can wash it all down with a pint of London Pride. Should I mention the girls that work here? No, no I won't...

Now this, is a good pub. Beautifully decorated, a fine array of ales, and not overcrowded on a Thursday night? Plus, it's a stone's throw from Qype HQ, hence I'm sure we'll be frequenting it from now on.
The only gripe you could have, is the stupidly difficult questions on the quiz machine as soon as you get into the money. Five quid wasted!
Happy Moose Drinker damn those quiz machines! Anyone would think they didn't want us to win :)

Incredibly cheap (9.90 for 2 courses in Soho?!), and fairly decent little restaurant on Frith Street. I had feta salad and my colleagues took deep fried brie to start, which seemed to go down well, and I had a reasonable salmon to follow. It probably would be 3 stars but the wine was good too!

Aussie coffee shop, but don't let that put you off too much, it's actually very good. My £2.50 latte was delicious, but a bit on the small size, so 4 stars.

The ship doesn’t look like a RAWK pub from the outside, but when you get inside you can literally find yourself in the middle of Priest Feast. Which is no bad thing! With the full and fine Fuller’s range on tap, a very trad interior, and a cool crowd, what’s not to like?

“I’ve seen the future, brother, and it’s murder.”
Mixed opinions from the Qypers, but I’d have to go with Chief_Patto’s view, this place really is “top draw”! The interactive projection tables are SO MUCH FUN to use, and the image quality, even at lunchtime in daylight, is fantastic - you really can see what your food is going to look like. The feeling of sneakily ordering another beer without having to bother anyone, and drinking at your own pace is great, and when the bill comes, you can even see who’s had what, ideal for parties of really tight people! Actually, not that ideal, since a bottle of lager is 4 quid, but a nice touch is that when they run out of something, it just disappears from the menu. No more, oh sorry, we haven’t got any left moments - you won’t EVEN KNOW they had it in the first place!
Service was sadly not by T800’s but by real people, and they were also frighteningly efficient, our bill arriving literally 10 seconds after we clicked send. You wouldn’t want to eat here all the time, but it’s definitely a taste of things to come. Oh, and the food is excellent.

I left my wallet here recently with all my worldly possessions in it, after probably getting too excited about my freshly cooked bacon and egg sandwich on white with brown sauce. When I returned some hours later, said wallet was tucked under the counter waiting for me, so that is enough for 5 stars in my book.
If you’re more careful than me with personal objects, then you can still enjoy a delicious breakfast, that’s great value and served with a smile.
