In London’s current hospitality climate, 14 and a half years is a very solid innings indeed. And that’s how long 10 Greek Street has been delighting diners in Soho, with Cameron Emirali and Luke Wilson running the restaurant and wine bar since they founded it way back in February 2012.

Next month, however, 10 Greek Street’s run will come to an end. Emirali and Wilson have confirmed that the Soho institution will close and have its last service on Saturday August 8.

Known for its seasonal modern cuisine with daily changing menus, a well-priced wine list and cheery atmosphere, 10 Greek Street has been a fixture of Soho’s dining scene.

A Time Out review from 2013 described the place as ‘a small, unshowy restaurant that’s made a name for itself with a short but perfectly formed menu and an easy-going conviviality’.

10 Greek Street’s final few weeks will offer a menu filled with ‘cult classics’ from the restaurant’s past decade-and-a-half, as well as give diners the opportunity to work through what remains of the ‘Little Black Book’ (a handwritten list of rare wines bought at auction and sold at affordable prices).

Commenting on the closure, Emirali and Wilson said that ‘the time is right for us to move on to new adventures’, adding:

‘It’s been such a huge part of our lives for so long, and we’re incredibly grateful for all the memories, friendships and good times along the way.

‘We’re excited about what comes next, but first we’d love to see lots of you over the next few weeks and give the restaurant the send-off it deserves.’

Both Emirali and Wilson will be at 10 Greek Street until the end. The duo’s other venture, sister brewery Braybrooke Beer Co in Northamptonshire, is unaffected by the closure.

10 Greek Street, Soho, W1D 4DH. Until August 8.
