The story
Dehesa in London presents Spanish and Italian cooking to Carnaby Street, earning a one-AA Rosette for its dedication to simple, high-quality small plates. Head Chef Marcin Ciesielski designs the menu around what arrives fresh. He keeps preparations straightforward so ingredients speak for themselves. Artisan producers supply the base for dishes that rotate with the seasons. This focus on restraint aligns with the kitchen's award-winning standard.
Patatas bravas appear as a staple on the shared plates list. Crispy cod cheeks offer a texture contrast to softer accompaniments. The charcuterie selection highlights Spanish cured meats and Italian specialties from dedicated producers. Guests build their meal across multiple courses, sampling both beloved classics and innovative creations.
A heated corner terrace provides seating for those who prefer the outdoors, noted as the largest heated outdoor space in Soho. Inside, the main dining area maintains a busy, convivial pace. The wine cellar room offers a smaller, intimate setting for private groups. An on-site sommelier assists with pairing wines to the Spanish and Italian menus.
