Set on London’s most vibrant square, Leicester Square Kitchen introduces a Mexican and Peruvian dining experience serving small plates and innovative cocktails. From exquisite tacos to fine skewered meats from the Peruvian barbecue, the menu takes diners on a journey through the unique flavours of South America.

With Soho and Covent Garden on the doorstep, Leicester Square Kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-theatre dinner. The restaurant is just a few minutes' walk from iconic West End theatres such as Harold Pinter Theatre, Garrick Theatre, Her Majesty's Theatre and many more.

We invite you to join us for a pre-dinner drink on our terrace or in the neighbouring At The Hampshire Lounge Bar prior to your dining experience. At weekends, resident DJs provide a backing track to a fun and memorable night in town.

Please note that from Sunday to Tuesday the menu will be limited to the lounge bar menu.

This was a lovely place to go for lunch. The staff, especially Sonia, were very helpful, turning the music down, and adjusting the menu to deal with dietary issues. The food was very delicious and plentiful, despite being designated small plates. Will definitely return

We were celebrating a work friendship of 40years . The hotel was previously a dental hospital where we worked. As we arrived and we were reminiscing , we were greeted by the manager who was very interested in why we were here. On seating we received a complimentary glass of fizz which was lovely. The food was lovely & the restaurant manager was very helpful in explaining the menu. I would highly recommend.

This was my second visit to the Leicester Square Kitchen. As before the food was fabulous. The beef shin tacos are heavenly and well recommended. The wine was well priced and of good quality but the whole visit was made by fabulous service from our waitress Ash. Thank you Ash for making my 60th Birthday so special. We look forward to our next visit.

Be cautious of your belongings when dining here. Our bag was stolen right from our table, and it was clear that there is no security or sense of control in the establishment. It’s concerning that someone can enter and commit theft without being noticed. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel like a safe place, so stay alert if you decide to visit.

Attentive staff. Food spicy and interesting. Cabbage a little uninteresting and the desserts are possibly too spicy for me but the salads were delicious. Wine prices reasonable. Great location. We visited before the pandemic when the food was far better, perhaps they are warming up after recently reopening.

Lovely lunch. Delicious cocktails and super fresh selection of plates to share our party of five thoroughly enjoyed everything. Top tip… portion sizes are generous … we did somewhat over order. Staff all charming too.

First- We were 5 minutes late and were reminded if that when we arrived. Second- Be aware. Almost everything is super spicy! Third- They forgot to bring us many items - the ribs, a bottle of water, more taco chips- and we had to keep reminding them. Even though the restaurant was half empty, they blamed it on the kitchen! Fourth- They seemed to rush us out.
