Welcome to a corner of the French Mediterranean. Nestled between London’s St James and Soho, Whitcomb’s serves modern interpretations of classic dishes found along the sunny stretches of the French and Italian rivieras. Simple yet elegant cuisine, prepared à la minute.

As a West End restaurant, Whitcomb’s is ideal for pre- and post-theatre dining, set just a stone’s throw away from theatres such as the London Coliseum, Gielgud Theatre, Duke of York’s Theatre, and many more. Whitcomb’s also serves a delicious Express Lunch menu, perfect for business lunches or a break from shopping on the nearby Regent Street and Bond Street.

Join us to bask in the sunshine on our summer terrace by Veuve Clicquot, a spot for alfresco dining on Leicester Square, serving Champagne tasting flights, cocktails, oysters and fresh cuisine.
Before your dining experience, we invite you to enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the neighbouring gin bar Joshua's Tavern or in the Japanese rooftop garden, 8 at The Londoner.

    The overall experience was ok, but could have been better. Our table was in a strong draft of air from the ventilation system, which could not be lowered. The food was good, wines were expensive. The bars were full when we arrived so it was difficult to have a pre-dinner drink. This was supposed to be a special occasion, but ended up being average.

    The service was excellent but the Festive Menu food was disappointing. The burrata tasted bad, the chicken dish was literally just the chicken (no veg or accompaniment which is a bit strange given you're not really expecting /prompted to order extras with a set menu), and the Christmas pudding was sub-par. The mushroom risotto was yummy though! Restaurant is pretty but not particularly festive in the dining area, if that's what you're looking for. Overall, a bit of a disappointment, except for the waiter who was fantastic!

    Excellent service and food. We chose the festive menu which began with a wonderful blanc de blanc and the food matched the wine. Highly recommended.
