Enoteca Group

Established in 2005. This ever popular pan Asian restaurant in Soho is inspired by the street food stalls and little dishes from all corners of Asia. Whether it's Malay satay, Vietnamese fresh rice paper rolls Nepalese momo dumplings or fried banana spring rolls, this is a fun and buzzy eatery where you can enjoy a host of different Asian tastes an... d flavors on every visit. Some dishes are traditional classics and others our own interpretation or inventions - yet It all comes with lots of sweet sour and spice to be washed down with good wines, cold beers or our Asian inspired cocktails. A small buzzy restaurant with the bright cheerful street market interior; Cicada continues to be a great place to bring friends and family for pan Asian bites all in one sitting. In 2005 - along with her husband, Robert Cooper - Minards founded restaurant group Enoteca Group. "When we first opened Enoteca in 2005, around that time, you could only get a good selection of wines by the glass in hotels, there were no high street restaurants doing it. We had 32 wines by the glass, which on the high street was quite unusual. And the concept really took off. "Enoteca was so successful that we opened another place called The Pub, just down the road, as an overspill for the wine bar, but it became very successful in its own right, and so we opened Cicada next door to that. Those were our first three places," Minards says. "But [a few years after The Pub and Cicada opened] the building that housed them was pulled down, so we [had to close them] and we reopened Cicada on Elgin Street next door to Enoteca - which is where it is today."Read More
