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.
