Kettners. Soho London.


This legendary venue was first opened by Auguste Kettner, chef to Napoleon III in 1867. It’s refurbishment plays off the frisson of its proximity to the theatres… back to when it started, so conveniently situated next to the stage doors, when it was a favourite of Edward VII, Lily Langtry and Oscar Wilde.  In addition to a Brasserie and the Champagne Bar, there is a Pudding Bar for breakfast, tea or late night treats and a club-like space 'The Apartment'.  Kettner’s has many spaces for hire, including bookable nooks in the champagne bar, private dining rooms and the original ‘cabinets particuliers’ which have been restored, plus the Salle de Fete - an ideal space for drinks and canapés for up to 200 people. Absolutely lovely.
