Opened by the same folks behind Birds of a Feather and Halcyon & Crane, 51 Soho follows the same concept behind their two other brands, serving up Szechuan-inspired fusion cuisine.

Despite being mainly for the dinner menu, the mains are also actually available during weekend lunch hours when we made our visit. Featuring Hot & Tangy Sauce, Saute Brussels Sprouts with Bacon, Onion, Raisin and Lemon Juice, this is their take on the Western classic of Buffalo Wings. The chunks of pork were juicy and tender; did not require much effort to chew whilst the sauce was zippy and carried a spicy note that tingled the taste buds from the use of Szechuan peppers. Brussels Sprouts were charred; earthy and crunchy whilst the bits of bacon helped to add a hint of savouriness. The addition of other elements such as raisin helped to add sweetness to create a more complex flavour profile overall.
