Each dish is designed to pair seamlessly with their exquisite wine offerings, making for an elevated yet approachable dining experience. The small plates are very ideal as it allows for you to order different dishes to try. The portion sizes are also perfect (not too much, but never too little!)

Some Dishes You Need to Try:

• Cornish Mussels with Fennel & Cider – A light yet deeply flavorful dish with a subtle, aromatic broth.
• Ox Cheek Croquettes with Smoked Garlic Aioli – Crispy on the outside, rich and tender on the inside, served with a bold garlic aioli.
• Basque Cheesecake – A creamy, caramelized delight that melts in the mouth and is perfect for rounding off your meal.

The Menu

Venue and Vibes

The ambiance at Bar Crispin is effortlessly chic, with a mix of rustic charm and modern elegance. The dim lighting and minimalist decor create an intimate yet welcoming setting, ideal for both casual catch-ups and date nights. Make sure to book ahead as the restaurant itself is quite small and they have limited seating. It can get busy due to it’s location. One thing we didn’t love is the stools for seating – I feel like this was the vibe, however I love my comfort!

With its impeccable wine selection, beautifully crafted small plates, and inviting atmosphere, Bar Crispin is a must-visit for anyone looking for a cozy yet refined dining experience in Soho. This is a cute little gem in the heart of London that we would visit again! Perfect for a lunch date.
