Good for special occasions

We are a natural wine bar and restaurant in the heart of Soho - we change our menu weekly and cook with the seasons using the best ingredients the season has to offer. Our menu is an eclectic array of dishes that we're either in the mood to eat or that take inspiration from a dish we've enjoyed somewhere along our journey. Whatever it is, we aim for it to always be a combination of simple cooking and delicious flavours.. This keeps us excited, and what we do at Ducksoup fresh and lively.

We search out characterful wines for our wine list and work with a small number of suppliers who source well-made, honest natural and biodynamic wines from producers whose wine-making practices are carried out with love and care. We change our wine list by the glass as frequently as our food menu so that you (and we) get to enjoy new and interesting wines.

Service could have been a bit more friendly. Food was good but portions quite small for the value for money.

Nice venue but the menu is needlessly split into small and large plates. We were told they were for sharing but they look and are presented like starters and mains. They also aren’t capable of being shared in some circumstances - because they are eg one fillet of fish! Just call a spade a spade guys.

Cool little spot in the middle of soho with a mix of small tables and counter. Great vibe with music from a turntable, amazing selection of natural wines and delicious food. Service was spot on.

I haven't been for years, but was delighted to find Duck Soup better than ever. The menu was wonderful, I wanted everything, and the food was outstanding. Our waitress was amazing, so knowledgable about the food and wine (I know nothing about natural wine, but she helped us pick a fantastic bottle or two). I would not hesitate to recommend or go back.

Loved it, sat at the bar which is my preferred method, and I think you probably get more out of the experience by doing this. The food was great, the wine recommendations strong. The service and rapport was fantastic and added to the night. Nitpicking but it just felt a bit cramped, but would defs go again.

The room is quite tight and tables are small - food style is tapas / small plates so the table becomes quickly congested - however the waiting staff were good in moving things around the manage this, we really like the what the duck wine offering where staff chose wines for you - the serving of wine was small though especially for the money - the wine was good though. Really liked the fact they played actual vinyl records on our evening predominantly 80’s. The food was very good, everything we had was tasty. Overall we enjoyed our meal but it was expensive - we would return but there are other places to try.
