Bistro1 is a casual Mediterranean restaurant on Frith Street in Soho, listed as serving Turkish and Mediterranean food. It sits in the middle of theatreland and is open from 10am for breakfast through to late.
The menu ranges widely, from full English breakfasts and eggs Benedict in the morning to moussaka, chargrilled sardines and pan-fried tuna later on, plus British staples such as fish and chips. The Turkish side is lighter than at a dedicated Turkish restaurant, so think of it as a Mediterranean bistro with a Turkish accent.
It suits a casual pre-theatre meal or a relaxed breakfast in Soho.
