Ducksoup: A london Experience

Christoff's take on this local spot

My Honest Review

Atmosphere & Ambiance

Ducksoup offers a unique atmosphere in london. The venue has its own character that sets it apart from similar establishments in the area. Hidden behind deep-blue curtains on Dean Street, Ducksoup is an intimate 40-cover candlelit restaurant where modern European small plates meet Italian soul. The distressed white brick room buzzes with crackling vinyl and animated chatter as diners elbow-to-elbow at the counter or squeeze into wall tables. Handwritten daily menus showcase seasonal brilliance: spring veg fritters, burrata with courgette agrodolce, spelt fettuccine in rich pork ragu, rare lamb neck with Cornish mids and aioli. Always start with their legendary sourdough and butter. The wine program stars 30%+ natural/biodynamic bottles by glass and bottle, with chatty staff guiding perfect pairings. Walk-ins welcome at the bar, reservations smart for tables. Open Monday 5-10pm, Tuesday-Saturday 12-3pm/5-10pm, Sunday lunch 12-3pm. Expect Β£8-Β£19 small plates, Β£19-Β£25 large plates, with dinner for two running ~Β£105 with wine. The basement bar keeps the energy high late into Soho nights.
