Kettner’s Townhouse: Historic Soho restaurant back open to the public for the first time in years

The Soho institution Kettner’s Townhouse, once Oscar Wilde’s favourite restaurant and where dough balls were born, has opened to the public for the first time in four years.

A French brasserie since 1867, it was bought by the members’ club Soho House in 2016 and soon closed for a lengthy refurbishment. It relaunched in 2018, but only club members and hotel guests were permitted to dine in the famous ground floor restaurant. The upstairs champagne bar remained open to all.
