Simon Rogan's Aulis in Soho to reopen with new look in May

Aulis London, Simon Rogan’s chef’s table in Soho will reopen in May 2023 with a new look, to include additional seating and its very own lounge.

Set to double in size, from the end of May the restaurant in St Anne’s Court will seat 12 guests per night (an increase from its original eight) whilst the adjoining lounge will provide diners with a relaxed and convivial space to enjoy drinks before or after dinner.

Designed by Blacksheep, Aulis’ reimagined interiors will bring a new found homely feel to the central London chef’s table whilst still reflecting Simon’s world-renowned ethos, which stems from the natural environment and Lake District landscape, the home of his three Michelin-starred restaurant L’Enclume and original Aulis chef’s table seating six.

Headed up by Executive Chef Oli Marlow and Head Chef Charlie Tayler, Aulis London opened in 2017, offering front row views of the chefs at work, whilst showcasing Simon’s signature style in a multi-course tasting menu.

Dinner at Aulis, which can be booked by a single party or as separate bookings, has been designed to ignite culinary conversations, whilst the menu has been created using ingredients predominantly sourced from Simon’s very own Lake District farm ‘Our Farm.’ (Newly remodelled Aulis bar, design by Blacksheep).

With the dining space and adjoining lounge, Blacksheep’s design showcases crafted, natural materiality featuring rich green furnishings, earthy tones and recycled materials alongside warm hues and multi-textural accents.

As the focal point of the experience, Aulis’ newly installed natural stone countertop spans the main dining space, whilst a softly illuminated wine store display highlights the unique selection curated by sommelier Charles Carron-Brown.

As the Simon Rogan Group embarks on its third decade, Aulis’ remodelled interiors and extended floor space enable Simon and team to hold ad-hoc special events throughout the year to include one-off collaborations, events, tastings and supplier dinners.

Reservations now open, with seats available book from Tuesday 30th May until Saturday 16th December.
