Square Meal review of Quo Vadis:
One of the most famous restaurants in Soho recently re-opened under the new ownership of Sam & Eddie Hart, the brothers behind celebrated Spanish eateries Fino & Barrafina. While Quo Vadis might not look very different to its previous Marco Pierre White incarnation – modern art; leather banquettes; formally laid tables; stained glass windows that shield diners from prying eyes – there’s been considerable change on the food front, with the new kitchen inspired by traditional English grill rooms (a claim rather undermined by the presence of dishes such as sea bass carpaccio & crab tagliatelle). The cooking is generally well done, if undemanding: fish soup with proper accoutrements of rouille, cheese & croutons had excellent depth of flavour, while a ham & cheese omelette, & slow-cooked shoulder of pork, delivered simple satisfaction; only an over-cooked sirloin failed to pass muster. The wine list is confusingly laid out sometimes by style & sometimes by region but repays close investigation; we loved the juicy red fruit of our 2005 Chateau Mahon-Laville, one of a dozen wines served by the glass.
