About Rita's

Rita's in Soho fits a surprising amount of warmth into its small, candlelit space — regulars report returning for the ever-changing French menu and note that staff remember faces. Highchairs squeeze in, and there's a coveted outdoor table that families book for special occasions. The devilled eggs and barbecued beef tartare appear in nearly every review, and the jalapeño popper martinis have a cult following (one couple had three each). Reviewers name-check server Rob for making milestone meals memorable, while regulars mention Maddie's menu walk-throughs help with the sharing-plate format. The pork chop is beautifully cooked, melting in your mouth. Expect £60–80 per head with wine. The confit duck leg and hamachi crudo with sour chile salsa are signatures worth ordering. Best for older kids who can handle bar stools and a lively atmosphere, ideally midweek when the buzz suits conversation.
