Café Emm

Budget choice
This small, ever-popular, family-run restaurant serves traditional British dishes (steak and ale pie and the like) as well as more modern concoctions (melon and ginger soup). Though certainly atmospheric, with its pseudo-Parisian façade and unobtrusive, sophisticated interior, our meals were mediocre at best. After arriving disquietingly fast, blackened Cajun salmon lacked flavour and finesse; vegetarian lasagne was fine, served with a simple salad, but hardly lit up our world. Maybe we should have gone for one of the interesting burgers (minted lamb, lentil and bean). Still, Emm thrives, its fair prices attracting a large crowd come the evening – the queue sometimes snakes out the door.

3 of us ate here again from the pre-Theatre menu on 22 May 2009. Excellent food and menu.
We visited 8 months ago, too, before Theatre. Impressive cooking.
This place has a first rate Soho bistro style that is consistently good value with attentive service. Not rushed either.
If you are due to watch a local performance, try to arrive around 5.30pm. ish. You have all the time to walk to all of the West End.
Yes, you might have had tea and patisserie an hour earlier. London Soho life.
Food remains excellent.
Wet sales wine tourist prices ! You should eat, not drink in Soho.
.
The Lunch menu is a real bargin 2 Courses £6.88 .......
We need more resturant like this in the West end..
Nothing fancy just plain old good
Good home made British food!!!!! Try the Steak and Ale pie
