    Love this place, 22 years ago I worked in Shaftesbury Avenue and used to come to Cafe Boheme after work for dinner and drinks. It was one of our favorite places. We felt transported to France. A little hide away with great food and service. I enjoyed many dinners and some breakfasts after sleeping over in the office after a late night ! Last night I returned for the first time in 15 years for dinner before see MJ in the Prince Edward Theatre opposite with friends old and newer. We had a gorgeous table tucked away in the corner. Great service, delicious food I had the snails and Oysters both were amazing. Fab red wine to go with. It brought back so many happy memories and stories of the old days. But created new memories. Thanks for a wonderful evening, great food and service.

    Ambience was great, food could have been better (the scrambled eggs were a bit too runny for me) and presentation could have been better as well. A lot of banging of plates and cutlery in the kitchen which was a little loud and distracting.
