Tucked away in the heart of St John's Wood, Soutine is an elegant private dining space inspired by the grand cafes of Paris. Located at the back of the restaurant and hidden from view, the private dining room seats up to 40 guests and provides a warm, relaxed setting for every occasion, from working lunches and business dinners to birthday celebrations, engagement drinks and baby showers.
The room embraces the charm of a classic French bistro with wooden panelling, leather seating and long banquette tables. Artwork in a variety of styles lines the walls, adding character and depth, while the gentle buzz of the main pavement cafe drifts through to create an inviting and sociable atmosphere. It is a versatile space that feels refined yet accessible, ideal for guests seeking Parisian flair in the heart of St John’s Wood.
Soutine’s culinary offering is inspired by the seasonal menus and timeless dishes of the great boulevard cafes. For parties of up to 12, guests may select dishes on the day, while larger groups are offered set menus with pre-orders. Starters might include avocado vinaigrette, chopped vegetable salad, steak tartare or seared Scottish scallops. Mains include chicken schnitzel, seared fillet of sea bass, corn fed duck leg cassoulet, fillet steak au poivre or char grilled monkfish. Desserts range from apple tart and baked cheesecake to creme brulee and pain au chocolat pudding.
Alongside the party menus, Soutine also offers an all day selection of French classics such as steak frites, onion soup, all day eggs and a choice of cheeses. Guests can also enjoy the popular prix fixe menu or explore the broader wine and drinks list. Combining neighbourhood charm with grand cafe style, Soutine’s private dining room offers a memorable setting for group celebrations in St John’s Wood.
