10 Greek Street, the celebrated Soho restaurant and wine bar, will close permanently on Saturday, August 8, after 14 years of operation. Founders Cameron Emirali and Luke Wilson announced the closure, citing a desire to pursue new ventures.
End of an Era for Soho Institution
Since opening in February 2012, 10 Greek Street has been a fixture of London's dining scene, known for its daily changing seasonal menus, well-priced wine list, and convivial atmosphere. A 2013 Time Out review called it 'a small, unshowy restaurant that's made a name for itself with a short but perfectly formed menu and an easy-going conviviality'.
Final Weeks Celebrate Cult Classics
In its final weeks, the restaurant will offer a menu of 'cult classics' from its 14-year history, alongside rare wines from its 'Little Black Book' – a handwritten list of auction-purchased wines sold at affordable prices. Emirali and Wilson stated: 'The time is right for us to move on to new adventures. It's been such a huge part of our lives for so long, and we're incredibly grateful for all the memories, friendships and good times along the way. We're excited about what comes next, but first we'd love to see lots of you over the next few weeks and give the restaurant the send-off it deserves.'
Future Plans and Other Ventures
Both founders will remain at the restaurant until its closure. Their other business, Braybrook Beer Co in Northamptonshire, is unaffected. The closure reflects the challenging hospitality climate in London, where a 14-year run is considered a solid achievement.
