SO|LA

It’s all hidden subtly in the name: this bright, intimate restaurant “celebrates the modern cuisine of the America’s Pacific West Coast, bringing a taste of California to SOho, via LA”, and its slatted wood walls, lush plants and hand-blown light bulbs conjure up memories of The Golden State.
Chef Victor Garvey was born to a French-Spanish mother and an American father, and spent time working in both Spain and the US. His modern Californian cooking uses first-rate ingredients and the well-balanced dishes are characterised by deep, bold flavours and punchy sauces. A great deal of thought goes into the eye-catching presentation, and playful touches add an extra element; if you pick the lobster, it can be flambéed at your table. A great selection of Californian wines and knowledgeable service from a well-versed team complete the experience.
