Quo Vadis to double in size

Quo Vadis in London's Soho is to relaunch in February following a refurbishment of its reception and ground floor restaurant.

The refurbishment will double the available covers to 40 in the public restaurant. The reimagined space has been designed by co-owner James Hart, who will be removing the "imposing" revolving door to create a "welcoming, though no less arresting, entrance". The door will be painted ‘Red Stallion II' and have a large brass knocker.

The stained-glass windows, "which were never as ‘original' or ‘vintage' as anyone assumed", will remain in part. The reception will become "more bijou" whereas the dining room will be upholstered with red Georgian-style dining sofas and a reclaimed Georgian wood floor.

The restaurant will also receive a new black and white striped awning, emblazoned with the QV monogram.

The Quo Vadis restaurant will be closed for refurbishment between 2 January and 7 February, reopening to the public on 8 February with an updated menu including some celebratory dishes to mark the relaunch.

The QV Club will not be affected by the closure of the restaurant, excepting a few days of which the members are aware.

Quo Vadis is a historic Soho restaurant and members' club that was formerly a brothel and a home to Karl Marx. The restaurants serve seasonal, regional British fare, with a menu overseen by chef-proprietor Jeremy Lee and his team.

The venue has a private members' club with two bars and its own restaurant and two private dining rooms.
