After a successful debut last year, our Downtown Los Angeles outpost was once again transformed into a culinary haven as Soho Food Festival returned to Soho Warehouse for the second time, with a multi-day experience powered by Porsche.
Over the course of the weekend, we welcomed celebrated names from the East and West Coast dining scenes, along with rising stars and House favourites – all brought together in a diverse, multiday programme. Read on for some of the highlights.
Food shacks and pop-ups
Throughout the garden, LA mainstays and House favourites brought the best of their flavours for members to try. Among the choice lineup of unlimited tastings for guests, were Los Angeles favourites The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, All About The Cinnamon, Guisados, Cecconi’s, The Boiling Crab, Le Coupé fried chicken, Pink’s Hot Dogs, Broad Street Oyster Co. and Dear Neighbor Handrolls.
Food was just the start of the weekend’s festivities: a dedicated Patrón bar served up signature cocktails, while Peroni Nasto Azzurro brought the spirit of the Italian aperitivo to the Soho Warehouse rooftop to kick-off the weekend – and kept festivalgoers topped up with beer and bites throughout.
Meanwhile, design studio Tangible Gratitude celebrated the ritual of a morning coffee with one of their renowned coffee omakase experiences, with a selection of LA roasters on offer. Plus, we elevated post-yoga hydration with a water tasting from water sommelier Martin Riese.
One-off dining experiences
This year’s Soho Food Festival also brought top chefs to the House for special, one-off experiences that showcase their culinary concepts.
Emily Yuen, executive chef of New York’s Yingtao and a James Beard Award semi-finalist, took over the Drawing Room – with Woodford Reserve serving drinks – that invited guests to experience her celebrated fusion of Chinese flavours and French techniques first-hand.
For Saturday’s takeover, Michelin-starred chefs Walter and Margarita Manzke – the husband-and-wife duo behind acclaimed LA restaurant République, (Margarita is also a James Beard Award winner) – brought their vision to a menu of modern French cuisine, powered by Porsche.
Elsewhere, a special edition of our Endless Lunch series, featuring celebrated chef and chocolatier Valerie Gordon, invited guests to enjoy an afternoon in the garden with the confectionary powerhouse, alongside wines from Mirabeau Rosé.
Rounding out our one-off dining programme was an exclusive look at Cardón Taverna, before its upcoming launch at Soho Beach House Los Cabos. The soon-to-be-opened restaurant enjoyed its Los Angeles debut with a menu inspired by American steakhouse classics, to give members a taste of what’s to come in Mexico.
The entertainment
As the weekend unfolded, our House DJs soundtracked the festival across the club spaces, keeping the energy high throughout. Singer-songwriter Leven Kali stopped by for a special Sunset Session on the rooftop, with drinks by Campari. While on Saturday night, legendary South Central Los Angeles hip-hop stars The Pharcyde took over the club floor with an energetic set that brought the weekend to its peak.
The activities
Alongside all the food and drink, the festival featured a full programme of events for guests and families to enjoy. Soho Health Club hosted daily fitness and wellness sessions designed to help members stay grounded and keep moving; while actor, yoga instructor, and entrepreneur Francia Raisa led a yoga sculpt class that blended strength, cardio, and mindful movement.
Members also discovered how to capture the perfect cocktail shot with photographer Thomas McGovern in a hands-on workshop that taught creative techniques, styling tips, and camera tricks to elevate drinks’ photography. Elsewhere, Fever-Tree ran a scent bar happy hour that invited members to create their own candle or blend a custom scent roller.
And for our smallest guests, Teeny House brought a host of activities, including a wander through a butterfly sanctuary followed by pancakes, and an afternoon spent making food from scratch.
