NESSA SOHO

Inspired by the boundary-breaking spirit of Vanessa Bell and the radical Bloomsbury Group, Nessa is a restaurant in Soho where creativity, conversation, and community come together. Just as the Bloomsbury salons were places where ideas flowed as freely as the wine, Nessa reimagines that spirit for a modern audience in the heart of central London.

Located on a vibrant corner of Soho, Nessa Restaurant is a British bar and dining destination lead by Executive chef Tom Cenci, who champions seasonality with a produce-led menu that celebrates British ingredients with global flair.

Whether you’re searching for a restaurant in London, a place to meet in Soho, or simply somewhere that feeds both stomach and soul—Nessa awaits.

A SOHO RESTAURANT

...with a story

Nessa takes its name—and its soul—from Vanessa Bell, the pioneering artist, designer, and central figure of the Bloomsbury Group. Known affectionately by friends as “Nessa,” Bell was a woman ahead of her time: bold, curious, and unapologetically independent, her life and work defied convention.

The Bloomsbury Group—an influential collective of artists, writers, and thinkers—gathered in homes and studios that became salons of cultural exchange. Ideas flowed as freely as the wine, and creativity was a shared pursuit. It’s this spirit of collaboration, openness, and artful living that lives on at Nessa.

More than just a name, Nessa is a tribute to that fearless creativity. From the walls to the menus, every detail nods to the modern bohemia that once flourished just a few streets away. It’s a celebration of the past, reimagined for today.

PRE-THEATRE DINING

Got tickets to Hadestown or the Moulin Rouge, perhaps you’re indulging in a night with Magic Mike; in which case you’ll need a little sustenance. Introducing the Nessa Express, a menu designed to get you to the theatre in time for a glass of champers before curtains up. 

We have all your favourites compiled in one concise menu – from Beetroot & Sheep’s Cheese with candied pecans & hot honey to start, for mains, our Coronation Chicken with tandoori sauce, wild rice & apricot puree, and for pudding our much-loved Cherry Bakewell is more than worth its calorie count.

Available weekdays from 5pm until 6pm.
