AboutAbout Andrew Edmunds

Andrew Edmunds is a Modern European restaurant housed in an intimate 18th-century townhouse in the heart of Soho. Established in 1985, it has become one of the last bastions of old Soho character, with candlelit tables, closely-set seating, and an atmosphere that has made it a backdrop for countless London love affairs over more than three decades.

The seasonal menu showcases quality ingredients prepared with care, whilst the famous wine list offers exceptional bottles at prices that consistently surprise - many older vintages appear barely marked up from auction prices. This combination of quality food, remarkable wine value, and genuine warmth has built a fiercely loyal following amongst locals and visitors alike.

Dogs are welcome throughout the restaurant, both in the cosy ground floor dining room and the atmospheric basement. The team is happy to provide water bowls, making it an excellent choice for dog owners seeking quality dining where their pets can join them.
