When Soho glows under a canopy of festive lights and the streets hum with December energy, there’s one spot turning Christmas lunch into a sensual, unforgettable feast: Kapara.
Forget dry turkey and polite conversation. At Kapara, the holidays arrive with a twist of bold flavours, sultry vibes, and a set menu that’s put an indulgent twist on what you might expect at other restaurants who could be offering a typical “British roast by numbers.”
This is because we aren’t like other restaurants in Soho. Chef Eran Tibi brings a fearless creativity to Eastern Mediterranean flavours, turning Christmas classics into something unexpected, joyful, and deeply satisfying. At Kapara, a Christmas lunch in Soho doesn’t mean predictable: it means vibrant, soulful, and generous hospitality.
The space itself adds to the magic. With warm lighting, decorative touches, a terrace for those rare mild winter days, and interiors that feel lively without being overwhelming, Kapara strikes the balance between celebratory and cosy for those looking for what we believe to be the best Christmas lunch in Soho… or anywhere else for that matter!
Kapara’s Christmas menu is a love letter to celebration. It’s a sensual, shared experience that blends traditional flavours with fearless creativity. Whether you’re toasting with colleagues, gathering with chosen family, or just treating yourself (as you absolutely should), this is the kind of lunch that lingers in memory.
Here’s what you can expect:
Dates in Blankets: Medjool dates, wrapped in Parma ham, stuffed with Rosary goat’s cheese, and kissed with burnt rosemary. Sweet, salty, creamy – Christmas foreplay.
Twisted Jerusalem: A freshly baked bagel, served with black garlic and herbed smoked butter. Comfort meets umami.
Carrot Hummus: A vibrant splash of colour and heat – kumquat compote, harissa, crunchy carrot chips and coriander.
Clementine-Cured Salmon: Zesty, silky, and luxurious – orange glaze, juniper, clementine & saffron gel, crème fraîche, salmon roe, and chervil.
Cauliflower Crumble: Earthy and elegant — grape molasses, chestnut crumble, cauliflower purée and crispy fried leaves.
Smoked Pink Potatoes: Bathed in harissa butter, cranberry labneh, and onion ash. Festive and fierce.
The Roast: A star of the table – picanha beef, slow-roasted and spiced with cumin and pumpkin seeds, served with redcurrant & Madeira jus and mohlgrabieh (a festive twist on Israeli pearl couscous).
For plant-based diners: aubergine roulade with spinach & seed pesto, pilpelchuma and almond whey. No compromise on richness or ritual.
Kapara Cheesecake: Silky lemon curd, cranberry compote, and playful shards of meringue. Light, bright, and completely moreish.
The Christmas lunch menu costs £78 for the full festive experience, £68 without the salmon, or £58 if you’re skipping both the salmon and the cauliflower crumble.
