Probably the best meal we’ve had after 3 years in London – excellent food, tasty…fresh, interesting and not pretentious. Great service and not over-priced either (both of which are pretty rare in this city too!!)..Definitely worth a repeat visit, or two, or three…
Love the food here! Always a different menu – but love the fresh and light menu. Lovely wine list and staff always happy to help you choose. Wish I lived closer.
Happened to stumble upon Soho on a random day out. It was way past normal lunch hours and most kitchens were shutting. After many in-and-outs of places, we finally found Duck Soup and grabbed a table.What I first noticed was the beautiful playlist of music they have. They play everything off vinyl records on a gramophone. Pretty cool huh?Their wine and food list is quite limited but it’s perfect for a 4-5pm wine and snack place on the days you feel like doing so. What we later discovered as well is that their menu changes almost daily, so 4-5 dishes a day is pretty good!What everyone MUST have here are the lamb sweetbreads (if they ever do them again, it’ll be your lucky day). So succulent. So well cooked. Perfectly balanced with yummy garlic oil and cherry tomatoes. I pretty much gobbled down the whole plate in record time. The other dish, was some sort of gnocchi with beans and greens in olive oil. Pretty bland, and paled in comparison. xx iheartblr.com
a simple set-up, small but intimate, the food menu comes on a hand written piece of paper with an array of several wines on the board. Everything feels quite homely, the food is beautiful, although don’t expect a large portion…the service was attentive and caring. Quite pricey but not outrageous for the area.
Been here a few times on week days. The staff is always nice and the wines are delicious. I’m not a big eater so I enjoy the small bites.It’s very cosy (yes small) but filled with the lovely sounds of an old record player it makes it a great spot for a romantic dinner for two.
I had great service and some delicious food but, it was massively overpriced, and the wine ,frankly, was clearly picked up in a campervan cheap on summer hols. Great when your in the locale but sorry 30 to 50 for a 2 bottle of wine, not on. the menu was interesting in parts however it was all odd cuts and given the prices the cheapness of the products was not passed on. Behind the bar was absolutely student digs dirty. Overall i was left with the impression that it was all cynically done. Emperors New Clothes you say…. Nah hes naked, and this place is not new and cutting edge, its pretentious.
Completely disappointing. Ducksoup came highly recommended to my group of friends, and we went there expecting nothing less than a very good meal. After a short wait we were seated at the exceptionally uncomfortable bar where we were handed a practically illegible handwritten menue. The light was dim, and after some tepid cross referencing we decided that reading the menu from their website off of our smartphones was easier. After perusing the pretentiously short beer list we all three decided on an unremarkable lager. Eventually we managed to place a food order.Raw squash salad: Aside from the large chunks of feta, this dish was completely lacking in flavor. Perhaps there is a reason the vast majority of chefs, home cooks, cave people, etc, decide to cook their squash. I will admit that the texture was intriguing, but any human being with a mandolin and some olive oil could assemble a similar dish. And this particular dish was 8.Beef cheek: It looked great on the plate. Shredded beef on a plate of greens should be a home run. Somehow this turned out to be much tougher than it first appeared, and the flavor was, once again, conspicuously absent. I’m still extracting pieces of this course from in between my teeth.Mushrooms with porridge: Flavor! At long last, some flavor. I had no complaints about this dish, but then, I love mushrooms, and managing to make sauted mushrooms flavorless would take far more work than making them delicious.Pork belly with baked beans: Pork belly should basically be a chocolate truffle that tastes like pork. It should be absurdly tender. It should melt all over my tongue and make me ravenous for another bite. What we got was tough, dry, and you guessed it, flavorless. At this point we figured things had to get better. And, indeed, they had one last chance.Roast partridge with pancetta and lentils: I’ve worn winter boots with more tender soles than this meat. We were brought steak knives. They didn’t help. We tried eating the wings and legs with our fingers, ala chicken wings. It didn’t work. Ultimately the vast majority of the bird went out with the compost. At this point we were too hungry and too Canadian to confront our waitress over the quality of the meal, so we requested the cheque. 96.50. In hindsight I truly regret not sending the partridge back or at least requesting it off of our bill. On our trip back to our hotel, we tried to figure out what demographics would find Ducksoup so appealing, because it certainly wasn’t young foodie tourists.
