Balans - Soho Description
Balans is a well-known group of restaurants that serves European cuisine and has branches in several parts of London open seven days of the week. It is the kind of place you could drop by at any time to enjoy a snack or a full meal. All outlets offer tasty food and warm, friendly service and the Soho branch seems to be especially popular with the gay community.
The popular breakfast and brunch menus offer a full English breakfast, eggs Benedict, blueberry pancakes and waffles. At lunchtime, the sandwiches and simple pastas are good choices. There are aperitifs, cocktails, wines, prosecco, martinis and strawberry or passion fruit daiquiris to complement the food.
A meal there could start with foie gras and chicken liver parfait, three way fishcakes, tempura calamari and Roquefort and pear salad. The mains offer a wide variety to suit different tastes - from Thai chicken curry, pumpkin ravioli, honey glazed duck breast to swordfish steak. The house specialities of fish pie and steak are always recommended and meals in themselves. Their meats are supplied by Jack O Sheas, who are free range and organic butchers.
Balans has been serving customers for over ten years and the fact that they are still busy is ample proof of the quality of their meals and service.

Every time we go to London, we make it a point to eat here. It has a fantastic and friendly atmosphere, and the food is fabulous - well worth a visit.

Balans in Soho is terrible! I went there for lunch today and waited 45 minutes for my food. We then asked where our food was, and the waitress said 5 minutes. At this point the chef obviously panicked. Our food came out. My colleague and I bit into our pie, and found the meat around the outside to be cold. I tried to open the pie to find the whole thing frozen. The staff were useless and offered a salad as a substitute. Balans is a real disappointment.
