Kettner’s has lived, surviving four kings and a queen, the blitz, several booms and more than a few busts, Kettner’s has seen it all and is an integral part of the vibrant, glamorous and debauched Soho we know and love today.

Originally a series of four Georgian town houses, Kettner’s was first opened as a restaurant by Auguste Kettner, (chef to Napoleon III) in 1867. Popular with deliciously colourful characters of the time including Oscar Wilde, Edward VII, Lillie Langtry, Agatha Christie and Bing Crosby, Kettner’s was renowned  for hosting incredibly risqué parties.

Gorgeously glamorous, Kettner’s today boasts an all day Brasserie, Cocktail and Champagne Bar and seven Private Dining Rooms available for hire. The Grade II listed building retains much of the original architecture, creating an intimate, homely feel, whilst a recent refurbishment has lovingly restored the space for a modern audience. Don your finest, (or your favourite old cardigan,) and drink, dine and revel with us at Kettner’s.

We are often looking for team members to join our cast. To pass the audition you’ll need to show how you can help create a unique experience for our guests.

Yosef Edri – Head Chef

Yossi heads up Kettner’s sizable kitchens and enjoys the diversity Kettner’s offers; from serving great, hearty dishes in our busy Brasserie to the more bespoke menus created for private events. Yossi learnt to cook from his mother who is still his biggest inspiration and has previously worked for Asia De Cuba, Nobu, Fifty St James and the National Gallery. Yossi’s favourite dish is the Beef Bourguignon which he has adapted from Auguste Kettner’s original recipe!
