    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 !!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
