The Daisy Green Collection has just opened Scarlett Green at 4 Noel Street in London's Soho.
Set to chic and spacious surroundings over two floors, the 4,000 sq ft site serves delicious, Antipodean-inspired, imaginative food and beautiful cocktails under the guidance of ex Coya General Manager, Francesco Sica.
Small plates such as spicy tuna tostadas, Bondi hot prawns and Vegemite, truffle & cheese doughnuts reflect the team’s distinctive and fresh Aussie style cooking, with house sharing favourites like the Giant Chicken Parmigiana and their Award-winning Banana Bread Sandwich positioned firmly on the menu.
Alongside their much-loved vegetarian and vegan options, sashimi and ceviche fans are well catered for with seafood delivered daily care of the Looe market day boats. Meat lovers can continue to enjoy the Collection’s famous grass-fed rare-breed dry-aged steaks from Nathan Mills of The Butchery Ltd, all cut to order and chargrilled at over 500 degrees on their custom-made Josper Grill. The kitchen is led by Dominik Moldenhauer (Dinner by Heston, Perth’s Greenhouse and The Shed).
Behind the bar sits the capital’s largest Australian wine list, boasting over 24 Aussie wines by the glass (from £6), perfect for pairing with the menu. Their skilled bartenders are knocking out a host of superb innovative cocktails and the tap list features top craft beers from London including their bespoke Aussie-style Freeman Frothie brewed in partnership with Fourpure, Bermondsey.
Throughout the day, Scarlett offers the Daisy Green collection’s renowned bottomless brunch, with signatures such as their Fancy Bacon Roll and Smashed Avo on Charcoal Sourdough hand-in-hand with their ever-popular artisan coffee made with their house Beany blend.
The restaurant is inspired by Melbourne and Sydney café culture, creating an elegant and laid-back vibe, with live acoustic music upstairs from 4pm daily and DJ sets Thursday to Saturday adding to the late-night buzz. The welcoming relaxed atmosphere is set against some huge bespoke artworks aimed at bringing back some of the glamour of the Soho of old, courtesy of a 20ft mural by Paul Robinson and original pieces by Louise Dear and Shuby. Bondi meets Soho.
Founder Prue Freeman, said, “Daisy Green is focused on creating exciting one off local destinations which bring together laid back Australian food culture, art and design. Soho is incredibly exciting for us – it’s a beautiful space in one of the most buzzing and historic parts of London. We are looking forward to showcasing our authentic modern Australian cuisine with some childhood favourites and Aussie classics. We are fortunate to be working with some of the top UK art talent whose bespoke pieces should bring a smile to the face and create an uplifting and creative environment. We hope that we will be serving early morning flat whites, delicious healthy brunches and memorable dinners for years to come.”
