This months sees the return of the Boulevard into the heart of Soho. This new incarnation incorporates an innovative new performance space, featuring Europe’s most advanced revolving theatre, and a two-floor glass bridge leading to a stunning art deco style restaurant and lounge style bar. Director of Soho Estates, Fawn James, is the driving force behind this development and together with Artistic Director Rachel Edwards, a vibrant programme of art for is planned for the Boulevard Theatre, as it opens its doors to the public for first time in over 20 years.

The restaurant at the Boulevard is reached by crossing the modern glass double heighted bridge and opens to guests from 8am – 1am daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and anything in between. The plush pink and brass interior is perfect for the location; art-deco in style with a lounge bar warmed by soft boudoir-style lighting. At one end of the bar there is a double height window, encasing an impressive hanging metal staircase, offering the perfect lookout on the 24-hour buzz of Soho.

The menu has been designed by head chef, Greg Hillier, previously of The Commonwealth Club and The British Academy.

After months of planning for the opening, I can’t wait to welcome guests to Boulevard. Every effort has been made to ensure our menu has something for everyone to enjoy at any time of day.

The Boulevard restaurant serves a broad range of dishes, with a conscious leaning towards plant-based cookery throughout. Choose from the traditional smashed chilli avocado on sourdough, to sumac oregano chicken, burnt aubergine and Iranian green pistachio, or roasted curried baby caulifower, black dhal, fresh coconut, crispy onions and lime.

For those guests enjoying a night at the theatre, they will be able to enhance their evening with a pre-show fixed price menu that will draw inspiration from the production they are about to see, whilst enjoying a carefully curated range of drinks promoting top-quality local suppliers and artisan producers. The Boulevard also offers a range of memberships, which give members exclusive perks and offers across the theatre, restaurant and bar. Find out more at boulevardtheatre.co.uk/memberships.

The innovative cocktail menu has been curated by renowned barman, Fin Spiteri, and ranges from classic cocktails finished with an unexpected twist through, to inventive and exciting new flavours and combinations including alcohol-free options. The carefully-selected wine list promotes top-quality local suppliers and artisanal producers, whilst the beer lists add some unusual, unconventional offerings to the mix. Brand partnerships include Duval-Leroy, Hej Coffee, Chapel Down and Coalition Brewing.

Whatever your reason for visiting this very special venue and restaurant in the heart of Soho, it will not disappoint, with so much history and heritage reborn in this super stylish, modern space.
