Tucked above a bustling Soho pub, The Devonshire serves up hearty British classics and perfectly poured Guinness in a cozy, Dickensian-inspired setting.
"The Devonshire is loved for its vibrant atmosphere. It serves simple, great produce cooked really well and the perfect pint of Guinness." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Bookings are released at 10:30am on Thursdays for the following three weeks. Embrace a very early dinner or late lunch: these are the last tables to go, and messing with your body clock is worth it. There’s a roof terrace for walk-ins on warmer days—ask nicely, and you could be sharing a pile of langoustines alfresco. We’ve also noticed last-minute reservations become available throughout the week." - Sinéad Cranna
"The upstairs dining room at The Devonshire is the kind of place we could spend a whole afternoon, perusing a handwritten menu of comforting British classics—lamb hotpot, creamed leeks, sticky toffee pudding. Come for one of London’s best pints of Guinness, some of the city’s best British food, and to mop up leftover gravy with duck fat chips. If you don’t manage to book the dining room, the downstairs bar of this Soho spot is a charming, crowded place. There’s a reduced bar menu down here, with snacks like toasties.

"The Verdict: Practically perfect and single-handedly rehabilitating the image of suet pudding. The Soho restaurant is above a handsome Mad Men-meets-Dickens pub and getting a table at a normal time—say, 1pm or after 5pm—is almost impossible. Which makes sense because The Devonshire serves some of the best classic British food in London. Hunker down by the ferocious fire, with a pint of perfectly poured Guinness and beef cheek suet pudding." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing
