La Sophia
Overview
Rough-hewn walls, gauzy curtains and low tables inlaid with mother-of-pearl might suggest a exotic Eastern hideaway, but family-run La Sophia’s main business is seasonal French cooking based on carefully sourced, esoteric ingredients – everything from chocolate balsamic vinegar to pastis mustard. The menu shifts with the seasons, but typical offerings might run from beef tartare with Dijon mustard, tomato concassé and a poached egg to roast cod with clams, spinach and carrot purée or roast saddle and confit leg of rabbit with grilled polenta and mustard sauce. After that, try marinated pineapple with sweet spices, coconut sorbet and passion fruit. Deep-rooted family ties mean that Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences also crop up from time to time, and La Sophia also claims to be the only French restaurant in London with a halal menu. To drink, pick from the international wine list.

Our starter of scallops with ratatouille was an extremely odd fusion and worst of all the scallops did not taste or feel like scallops. It was as if someone had made some fake scallops and tried to pass them off. The...more
It's been a strange month for customer service. Maybe it's the change of seasons or that it's getting dark earlier but whatever it is, we were really let down by the service here. Nevertheless, because La Sophia were so good at yelp's west fest I'm going to try and be as constructive as possible with my review.
Although we were half an hour early, the restaurant was empty when we arrived....more
I really, REALLY wanted to give this restaurant 10 stars. However, unfortunately I was rather disappointed with my experience at La Sophia.
Lets start with the good side. The food here totally rocks. It was SO tasty. For a starter, I opted for the salad bar option they were offering for the evening. There was a selection of four salads that you could choose to pile your plate with as you...more
