BRASSERIE ZEDEL
Leave Piccadilly Circus underground station by exit 1 and within half a dozen steps you are on the very edge of Sherwood Street just as it enters Soho. Look to the left and you can’t help but notice the superb original Art Deco entrance of this world renown restaurant. If the weather is good there may be a couple of tables outside, but very little that indicates what is inside and even once through the doors visitors only get a glimpse of what is eventually in store - an authentic Parisian brasserie in the 1920 style which has been magically transported even to its art deco furnishings and decor to the very centre of London.
The ground floor entrance , although smart and trendy with it’s simple cafe bar next door to le Crazy Coq – a cabaret and live music venue with a seven days a week ever changing variety of live music - gives the visitor no real idea of just what delights are in store. But that is only the start of things which have for many years served to please and excite visitors from all over the world.
After a quick drink at the bar the lift will take you deep down underneath the underground station into a vast and almost unimaginable place, once a part of the famous Regents Palace Hotel and now the magnificent art deco dining halls of Brasserie Zedel .
The sheer scale of the place is quite striking especially when remembering just where you are. The subterranean dining room reached via a staircase which on its own is larger than most new restaurants, is on a scale so epic that if it were above ground could well be visible from space.
Handsome black clad waiters glide effortlessly around the floor – with immaculate service to match the decor. Taking into account their reputation and location the prices are amazing - the fixed price three course menu which includes a glass of good quality wine is only £ 19.95 - with a fully comprehensive a la carte menu also always available.
