Soif

"Soif is an absolute delight. It’s one of those great little places where you clock the blackboards and stools, eye up the other guests’ white wine mussels, and instantly know that this is somewhere you’ll be heading back to. Back with a date, back with enough friends to enable an order of the whole, gloriously juicy rotisserie chicken, and back to sample the roquefort because you’ve already filled up on pork and pistachio terrine, and enough garlic to keep Smint in business for the next decade. It’s packed full of locals on their weekly date night, and three generations making their way through three bottles of Beaujolais. " - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna

"Soif is an absolute delight. It’s one of those great little places where you clock the blackboards and old-school stools, eye up the other guests’ white wine mussels, and instantly know that this is somewhere you’ll be heading back to you. Back with a date. Back with friends to share the juicy rotisserie chicken. And back to eat enough garlic to keep Smint in business for the next decade. It’s a cosy but buzzing space in Clapham, that’s packed full of locals on date night, and three generations making their way through three bottles of beaujolais." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna

"A busy neighbourhood bistro-cum-wine-shop with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The satisfying French food is packed with flavour, with the rotisserie chicken to share a firm favourite. The thoughtfully compiled wine list includes plenty of natural wines from artisan winemakers." - Michelin Inspector

It feels like home, with the added bonus of exceptional French cheese and a wine list that will make all fans of the natural stuff very happy." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
