The Balans Soho Society is a brasserie-style restaurant franchise with a focus on serving quality food at an affordable (for London) price. The interior of this High Street Kensington branch is very similar to the Paul and Le Pain Quotidien bakeries and restaurants we have in Dubai. Only these guys serve alcohol…from when they open in the morning. Which is why my cousin and I started our breakfast with a tall, stiff Bloody Mary – yeah baby!
Nice modern decor, a good vibe from the crowd, and busy but attentive staff. We popped in for early drinks with friends, and at 6pm on a Friday, it was busy. It's a well appointed place, and we were off to a good start.
Table for 7, and we ordered:
Tipples:
Rioja Blanc
Mango Mule
Eats:
Seared Duck
Monkfish Scampi
Ham Croquettes
Jerk Chicken Samosa
Seared Scallops
Tasty food, fresh, and decent portion size. Service was quick, and staff very attentive to our needs.
Came here for brunch on a Friday morning. I ordered prosecco, orange juice and French Toast. The prosecco was newly opened and super bubbly - the way it should be!! The orange juice was freshly squeezed. The French Toast was served with banana, strawberries and a warmed maple butter. Utterly delicious!!
Located at Westfield Shopping Centre where there is a huge amount of choice but I'd definitely suggest here for brunch / breakfast.
