Restaurant Review: Soif

Here's a post originally written for www.londonist.com, as part of their Dining Beyond Zone 1 series of restaurant reviews. Follow Londonist on Twitter to keep up with their daily posts on all things London.

Following in the footsteps of older sister Terroirs, Brawnopened on Columbia Road just over a year ago to critical acclaim and a giddy amount of cool credentials.We certainly loved it.

We were therefore excited for the birth of offspring number three from this group, which has added ‘natural wines’ to the vocabulary of London’s restaurant goers, and done more for nose-to-tail eating than anywhere since St. John.

Adding to Terroirs’ touristy West End location, and Brawn’s trendy East End spot on Columbia Road, the brand is working towards a complete compass with the arrival of new southern outpost, Soif in Battersea.

Restaurant Review: Brawn

Here's a restaurant review originally written for www.londonist.com. Follow Londonist on Twitter to keep up with their daily posts on all things London.



Amidst much hype over the opening of the second restaurant from the team behind Terroirs wine bar, it opened early a couple of weeks ago for a surprise ‘dry run’.

The name and appearance couldn’t be more different, and the West End has been swapped for the East End, but Brawn shares Terroirs’ extensive wine list which specialises in ‘natural wines’ which are made from biodynamically grown grapes and are unfiltered with no added acid, sugar or sulphur; and serves similar “small plates” of rustic French food.
