A Father's Day Meal at 40 Dean Street
A long-standing Soho classic for Father's Day
Father's Day lands on Sunday 21 June this year, a day set aside to celebrate Dad and show him how much he is appreciated. It is a lovely reason to bring everyone together, put him at the centre of the afternoon and treat him to a meal he does not have to lift a finger for. 40 Dean Street is the established Soho choice for exactly that, a long-standing Italian where a celebration feels like a real special occasion. Book early, since Sunday 21 June is one of the busiest days in our calendar.
A Soho original, open since 2009
40 Dean Street first opened its doors in 2009 and has been run by the same family ever since, which means the people looking after your family understand exactly what a day like this means. Over the years it has become the table people return to for the moments that bring everyone together, and Father's Day sits comfortably among them. There is a quiet warmth to being somewhere that has welcomed families through celebration after celebration.
The dishes that have defined us
Some plates have been with us since the early days, and the lobster ravioli is the one regulars come back for time and again, parcels of fresh lobster meat in a shellfish bisque sauce that has earned its place over the years. For a more generous main we suggest the slow-roast pork belly and the aged rib eye. When dessert arrives, the pistachio tiramisu is the one to share, a lighter, nuttier version that the kitchen makes by hand. There is plenty more across the full menu, taking in fresh seafood pasta and vegetarian plates alike, so everyone at the table finds a dish they want.
In the heart of Soho
40 Dean Street sits right in the middle of Soho, a short walk from the theatres, the galleries and the shops, so a Father's Day meal here folds easily into a fuller day out in the city. Whether lunch leads into a wander through the neighbourhood or an afternoon at a theatre show, the location makes it easy to build the whole day around the meal.
Booking for Sunday 21 June
Sunday 21 June is one of the busiest days we see all year, and tables go quickly, lunchtime above all. Booking ahead is the surest way to land the time that works for your family, so reserve your Father's Day table early. Give Dad an afternoon to remember, and we will take care of the rest.
