From £14 to £52 across 22 restaurants, 1 with Michelin recognition. Prices, courses and hours from each menu.

There are 22 restaurants in Soho keeping a set menu, and this is the shortlist worth knowing. Every listing below carries its price, its courses and the hours it runs, so you can weigh one Soho table against another before you commit. The set menu is the same food that reaches the à la carte, usually for a good deal less.

The Soho set menu most people are looking for is Brasserie Zédel's prix fixe: £16.95 for two courses and £19.95 for three, served every day of the week in a grand art deco dining room below Piccadilly Circus. For an Italian lunch, Bocca di Lupo sends a seasonal set menu chosen by the kitchen, best taken at the marble counter over the stoves, and Lina Stores Soho puts its handmade pasta into a weekday set at £17 for two courses.

The lowest price on the street is the £14.95 Express Lunch at Chotto Matte, Nikkei cooking served from noon to 5pm on weekdays. Manzi's follows at £16 for two courses of seafood in its art deco dining room, then Brasserie Zédel at £16.95 and Lina Stores at £17. Most Soho lunch set menus sit between £18 and £30, and the cards below sort them by price.

What is the cheapest set menu in Soho?

The cheapest Soho set menu currently on All Set is Chotto Matte, from £14.95-£40. Prices on this page are kept in sync with each restaurant’s published set menu and updated weekly.

How many restaurants in Soho serve a set menu?

All Set lists 22 restaurants in Soho with a currently-served set menu, each with its price, number of courses and serving hours.

Are Soho set menus the same food as the à la carte?

Yes. In nearly every case the Soho set menu comes from the same kitchen, with the same ingredients, as the à la carte. It simply offers two or three courses with a limited choice for each, at a flat price.

Where are the best lunch deals in Soho?

20 restaurants in Soho serve a set lunch on All Set. Prices start at £14.95 at Chotto Matte, then £16 at Manzi's and £16.95 at Brasserie Zédel. Each is a set lunch at a fixed price from the same kitchen that cooks the evening menu, and every menu on this page shows its lunch hours.

Why does Soho have so many set menus?

Soho cooks for two clocks. The theatres fill the early evening and the offices of Fitzrovia, Mayfair and Covent Garden fill the middle of the day, and both of those tables want to know the bill before they sit down. That is why most Soho kitchens run a lunch set menu from around noon to 3pm and a second sitting from 5pm, and why the street holds fixed prices across Japanese-Peruvian, regional Italian, Jerusalem and French cooking within a few minutes’ walk.

What time do Soho pre-theatre set menus end?

The early-evening windows are tight. Blanchette Soho and The Palomar both seat from 5pm to 6pm, Chotto Matte runs 5pm to 6.30pm, and Bocca di Lupo keeps its set menu open until 6.30pm, which clears a table comfortably for a 7.30pm curtain. Prix Fixe Brasserie on Dean Street takes the other view and serves 4pm to 6.30pm and again from 9.30pm, for supper after the show. Every restaurant in our pre-theatre menus guide carries its exact window.

Where can I eat a Soho set menu in the evening?

The Devonshire serves its set menu all day, Monday to Saturday, at £25 for two courses and £29 for three, with the skirt steak and the sticky toffee pudding that made its name. Manzi’s runs an evening theatre menu at £29.50 for three courses and a drink, Aqua Kyoto keeps a set menu on from noon to 9.45pm seven days, and Old Compton Brasserie opens Sunday evening at £29.95 for three courses with a glass of something to start.

Is a Soho prix fixe the same as a set menu?

Yes. Prix fixe is the French term and set menu the phrase London uses; both mean a fixed price for a fixed number of courses with a short choice at each. Prix Fixe Brasserie takes the term as its name, and Blanchette Soho packages its French dishes into one at lunch and again for an hour before the theatre. The prix fixe guide covers the Soho and Covent Garden brasseries that use the French wording.
