There is a cute and romantic courtyard garden to the rear; a unique all-Latin American wine list and the bar staff shake up super Latin cocktails. A great addition to the London culinary scene and well worth a visit!

Perfectly located in the heart of Soho, its a place to meet up or a place to sit and just watch the world go past. The coffee's pretty good, too, and it's open almost 24 hours a day.

During long summer days, the windows are opened, shades lowered and tables set out along the street. Many stop by BALANS for a cold beer or coffee, but the café does serve a range of popular dishes, from bacon sandwiches at breakfast, to burgers and fish & chips.

Whilst the atmosphere is not as quite as 'gay' as its Compton Street location, BALANS remains a popular place for gay friends to meet and 'do lunch'.
Good food, reasonable prices and, last time we visited, some pretty cute waiters.
