Scarlett Green

The ever-expanding Daisy Green Collection now has a Soho site. Scarlett Green occupies a large two-floor site where palm-print menus, dusty pink plates, and marble-topped tables are designed to ensnare passing millennials. As is the bar (flat whites and chic cocktails a speciality), the staff (young and chatty) and the food.

Brunch, served until 4pm, incorporates the fashionable likes of shakshouka with charcoal toast, or broccoli and corn fritters with poached egg. It is swiftly followed by a dinner menu that mixes Antipodean-inspired small plates and feasting dishes. Start with snacks such as an intense and earthy Vegemite, truffle and cheese doughnut, or a zingy miniature tuna tostada. Next, highlights from the small-plates list include crispy spring roll-style bites stuffed with beef shin and dipped in a tongue-tingling tamarind sauce; and halloumi fries that arrive stacked up like an unfinished Jenga block with an added slick of pomegranate yoghurt (we just wish there were more than five on the plate). For mains, we enjoyed our six plump, juicy prawns pepped up with a ‘secret’ house-made sauce – despite the hefty £20 price tag. Sweeten the pill with one of the positively food-pornographic desserts: Mars Bar cheesecake ball, perhaps (a sinfully rich toddler’s fantasy that’s worth every calorie), or scoops of homemade ice cream (try the trend-ticking vegan chocolate option).

Despite overzealous pricing, Scarlett Green is likely to woo Soho’s media set aiming to brunch their blues away.

Scarlett Green sits on Noel Street in Soho, part of the Daisy Green Collection, which is known for its Australian-inspired dining. The restaurant is a short walk from Oxford Circus, making it a central spot for breakfast, brunch, and all-day dining.

The menu takes its cues from modern Australian cuisine, blending bold flavours with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Brunch is a particular highlight, with dishes such as shakshouka and avocado on charcoal bread, alongside more indulgent options like banana bread sandwiches. For those visiting later in the day, the menu extends to include creative small plates and larger dishes, with an emphasis on vibrant, colourful presentation. Dishes at the time of writing include learge salads like a green goddess or grilled chicken salad, BBQ prawns with watermelon and feta, and a chicken parmigiana with a cornflake crumb, crushed tomatoes, parma ham and mozzarella.

Coffee is a focus here, with beans sourced from Allpress Espresso, and there’s also a selection of cocktails, wines, and craft beers to complement the food.

The space is open and airy, with an eclectic mix of art adorning the walls, including pieces by Australian artists. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the layout includes a mix of tables and more casual seating, making it suitable for everything from a relaxed solo coffee to a lively group meal. The venue also features a bar area, perfect for drinks and lighter bites.

Scarlett Green offers outdoor seating, and bookings are available for those planning ahead. The restaurant is well-suited to diners looking for a vibrant brunch or a laid-back meal in a central London location.
