Mountain - Soho, London
Our Rating: ★★★ | £££ - Cosy and stylish fine dining
After much anticipation following our delightful experience at Brat X Climpson’s Arch, this weekend we finally made our way to Mountain in Soho, London.
First impressions and atmosphere
The decor of Mountain is a harmonious blend of wooden elements and nature-inspired touches, creating a setting that's both refined and cosy, fine dining without white tablecloths.
If you get a table upstairs, you get to see the kitchen in action throughout your meal.
The food
The menu at Mountain is huge, there is a lot to choose from, and it doesn’t delve into descriptions of each dish.
We needed the waiter’s help in putting our order together but eventually settled on three starters, one "big starter," two mains and two sides.
Between 4 of us, this was just about enough food (if we weren’t eating at 9 pm we definitely would have got a couple more plates).

Fresh cheese & anchovies*
Wild mushrooms
Rabbit with braised squid
Dover sole*
Fallow deer loin chop
Wood-fired rice*
Smoked potatoes
*our favourites
The fresh cheese (made in-house) and anchovy dish was incredible and one to pick if you're a fan of straccitella.
The Dover Sole was tender and buttery (beware of lots of small bones).
The wood-fired rice was a unique, hearty side to accompany the mains and everything else we had was also delicious.
I guess we were also big fans of the mushrooms and venison as we asked for more bread to mop up the sauces they came in!
Service and Final Thoughts
The service throughout the evening was impeccable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in our dining experience.
They did mess up the order slightly by forgetting one of our starters and cocktail but they rectified it quickly and took the drink off the bill.
The team helped us choose the menu, and staged the dishes to come out in batches that made sense.
We’ll definitely be back and we’ve got our eyes on the lobster caldereta for next time.
