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.

    Fantastic restaurant, located right in the heart of the West End, convenient for all locations, and near to transport links. Ambience is pitched perfectly for couples and group dining. Service is attentive, and the menus are all explained. Well done to our waiter, Rory for making our visit enjoyable. Food is of a great standard, well seasoned, well cooked and well presented. We were going to the theatre, so chose the Express Lunch. However, we ended up adding a few side dishes then having dessert as well. There is a wonderful bar in reception, with a well stocked bar. Definitely worth a visit or two.

    We had the express menu at lunch time which we thought was very good value. Service was discreet but attentive, also very good. Some little petit fours were unexpectedly added to go with coffee, prompted by the fact that this was the celebration of a birthday. My only reservation was that the service was 15% whereas I consider the norm to be 12.5 % or even 10% .I understand that this is discretionary but changing it always seems a little churclish. Perhaps this is becoming the London standards. I would definitely recommend this restauarant.

    We had the pre-theatre menu which was limited but excellent. Staff were exceptional from our waitress to The sommelier. Service changes a meal to an experience and in this respect we got 5 star service.
