Quo Vadis

Quo Vadis opened on Dean Street in 1926 — Karl Marx had lived in the same building eighty years before — and crosses its centenary in 2026 as Soho's last surviving grand restaurant in continuous operation. Chef-patron Jeremy Lee arrived from Blueprint Café in 2012 and bent the kitchen toward vegetables, modest British produce and a daily-changing card; the upstairs is a private members' club, but the ground-floor restaurant takes outside bookings and is the room to know. The 2026 'QV & Friends Legend Series' brings Angela Hartnett, Asma Khan, Olia Hercules and Calum Franklin into Lee's kitchen across the year — the centenary itself is the booking argument.
