Kitty Fisher’s Group closes London restaurant Café Kitty

The London-based team behind Kitty Fisher’s and Cora Pearl have closed their third outpost, Café Kitty in London’s Soho, after less than a year of trading.

 

A notice on its website read: “Sadly, we have closed Café Kitty. It was a wonderful restaurant so we are all understandably gutted, but in life some things just don’t work out.”

 

Kitty Fisher’s Group opened Café Kitty at the end of 2023 as a relaxed brasserie serving modern British and European dishes below Underbelly Boulevard theatre.

 

The venue was formerly home to the Raymond Revuebar theatre and strip club and the Comic Strip show.

 

Last month, the restaurant had launched a pre-theatre menu with dishes such as buffalo chicken, Stavordale cheese salad, slip sole and tarte tatin, which was set at two dishes for £24.

 

Jay Rayner had also visited Café Kitty late last year for The Observer, describing it as a “new space in Soho, which manages to feel both tucked away and right in the heart of things at the same time”.

 

Kitty Fisher’s Group was founded by friends Tom Mullion, Tim Steel and Oliver Milburn, who launched Kitty Fisher’s in London’s Mayfair to critical acclaim in January 2015.

 

The trio opened Cora Pearl, a 60-cover site in London’s Covent Garden, in 2018.
