The best restaurants in Seven Dials

Small and full of colour, not to mention bold Thai spices and flavours, the Red Snapper is a popular Seven Dials restaurant serving Thai curries, pad Thai and other noodle dishes, and specials like steamed sea bass or crispy chicken breast. The menu changes frequently, and the BYOB policy means you can always bring your favourite tipple with you.

A popular Seven Dials restaurant for those looking to nibble on something authentically Japanese, Murasaki is an izakaya-inspired joint serving sushi, katsu tapas, and other Japanese small plates. The clean and minimalist venue is furnished with bamboo and lanterns for a cosy feel, and serves sake, highballs, and other classic izakaya drinks to go with the food.

Seven Dials pub the Shakespeare's Head, affectionately known locally as Shakies, is famous for its bangers and mash as much as for its welcoming atmosphere. You can choose from among different sausages, mashes, and gravies, with a total of 560 possible combinations ensuring you can try something new here every day. In addition, the pub serves an award-winning Sunday roast, craft beers, local ales, and more, as well as putting on live music.

You can always stop by The Canopy if you're in need of a caffeine fix or a hearty brunch plate, especially on sunny days, when the secret garden in the back puts on its best face. That's not all this Seven Dials café offers, however. On select evenings, The Canopy turns into an Italian bistro, serving dishes like pasta or chicken Milanese for dinner, accompanied by fine wines and a hospitable, cosy neighbourhood vibe.
