Cafe Boheme is indicative of Soho: a buzzing restaurant serving good food and a big bar with lots of wines open 24 hours a day at the weekend. A must in London. They also have a late license and live Jazz nights.

Reviews for Cafe Boheme

I arrived in the late afternoon for a late lunch/early dinner. The place had a nice atmosphere with live music playing and lively people relaxing at the bar - but not too crowded.
I was quickly seated - though I had to ask for a nicer table by the window as I had been directed towards the deeper-in tables... but I like to read and like the light.
I was a bit disappointed to find out that the crepes I'd seen on the menu at the front door were breakfast-only, but instead I chose a berry-ice-cream dessert plate with real vanilla and berry ice-cream as well as fresh fruit sprinkled on top - and was pretty pleased :)

I also had a coffee - that wasn't too bad. Nice and large, but still good full flavour and nice creamy milk, with just a hint of bitterness to start. I sipped it slowly and enjoyed the last of the sunshine.

It's 2330, you're in the mood for a classic steak frites and some good red wine to finish the night off. There is no better place in London to do just that than in the bustle and noise of Café Boheme.

I've probably been here more frequently than any other restaurant in London, and have yet to have an experience that wasn't right on the money. Speaking of which, when you can get away with £20-30 for a good sized, well-cooked meal with half-decent wine in Central London, life is good, no?

Great food but staf are RUDE , RUDE, RUDE !

Haven't been there since I last visited London.

Another firm favourite. I've been here for coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast meetings; long laxy romantic lunches; cocktails. Has a very sexy feel, great for people watching.

I love the fact that Cafe Boheme opens late for food - it's the best place to go if you fancy a bit of a midnight Moule feast. Saying that though, I normally come here after a long day at work to lounge of the soft sofas/ sit outside and soak up the sun/ people watch with a Mojito.

It's a great place to start off your evening if you are going out and about in Soho. On Friday we came here before dinner and I had THE BEST champagne cocktail with a passionfruit and apple/ zubrowka concoction! (Also note that they serve fantastic Polish vodka!!)

They also serve Belinis for two if you are in a celebratory mood - half a bottle of Moet and a little jug of white peach/ rasberry/ strawberry juice.

You can also come here in the day for coffee/ lunch and is a great place to chill out/ while away the lunch hour whilst listening to cool jazz - definitely my kind of place!

A bohemian bar-brasserie in the heart of Soho. A great people-watching spot. Pending which hour of the day your there, you need a booking for a Sat/Sun Brunch. Menu will cater for most people's needs; breakfasts and brunch, salads, or light meat and fish dishes. This place is guaranteed to be overflowing with atmosphere and with people. TIP: Be there early evening to secure yourself a good spot. After midnight, Cafe Bohème becomes one of those last-drink emergency hotspots-late license!
