Boopshi's schnitzel and spritz restaurant to open on Windmill Street

boopshisUpdated 15/11/13 with soft launch details

It's all happening over in Fitzrovia as we get the exclusive on another place opening on Windmill Street this Autumn. Just down the road from Drakes Tabanco, which will open in November, will be Boopshi's - London's first schnitzel and spritz restaurant.

The restaurant is a labour of love from brothers Ed and Ben Robson who are basing the concept on recipes handed down to them by their Austrian grandparents. The schnitzels in question will be cooked using the finest British rose veal, free-range chicken and rare breed pork. There'll be room for 35 upstairs in the restaurant and 30 in the downstairs bar. As for the name, Boopshi was apparently the term of endearment that Ed and Ben’s Grandparents used for each other. Bless.

Head chef is Rino Scalco who met the brothers when they were all working at Hampstead's The Horseshoe. The central European-inspired menu will also feature bratwurst sausage, ox tongue, spätzle & cheese and Oma’s apple strudel.

For the drinks list Ed, Ben and Rino spent extensive time in Vienna sampling local beers and liqueurs (it's a tough job, but clearly someone had to do it). There'll be Prosecco served on tap while the cocktails will use their own hand made sherbets. A good example would be spritz #5 which mixes London Dry Gin, apricot puree, orange and lemon sherbet with Prosecco. And the house martini has been stamped with the Boopshi personality, swapping the conventional vermouth for Kümmel.

As you'd expect from any Austrian joint there'll be a lot of beer including an exclusive brew on draught, developed by Ed & Ben with their longtime friends at Camden Town Brewery.

Boopshi's opens at 31 Windmill Street, London W1T 2JN this Autumn. Keep up to date with what's happening by following them on Twitter @boopshis. The soft launch will run from 25-27th November with 50% off all food. Lunch sittings will be from 12 – 3.30pm and Dinner from 5pm until 10pm. Bookings can be made in the Boopshi's Bar from 5pm. To book call 07549625984 or email info@boopshis.com.
