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.

    Lower back room is too noisy and lacks ambience. Christmas dinner was mixed bag. Some very tasty food, but cod was odd. Why a palette cleanser after a fruity and acidic starter of crudo in a passion fruit sauce?

    The festive Christmas at Whitcomb’s was indeed that - the food was beautiful and delicious, the staff and chef accommodated my husband’s gluten allergy, we really enjoyed our dinner there.

    Over priced for the quality of the dinner and the poor service. When presented with our dishes there was no description of each dish for a Prix Fixe menu, they did not clear our plates before the next service, when offered a glass of champagne the next server was stingy about the same offer the waiter prior offered so to made feeling guilty for the reminder. The food quality did not outshine the service and hence the 2 star rating.

    Very nice place and food. Starters and pasta were amazing. Mains and deserts were ok. Hotel is really nice and service was good. Would recommend it although overpriced.

    Tout était parfait : les plats, le service et le cadre. Allez-y les yeux fermés. Ouvrez-les quand même pour voir les magnifiques assiettes et le cadre 😉.

    What an interesting night. The fire alarm going off, being evaluated, then being let back in, when all clear. But everyone at the restaurant did a great job. Well done The LONDONER HOTEL. This did not distract from a fabulous meal. And we will be coming back to dine with you in the new year. Five Stars.

    The whole experience was so disappointing. The dining room was cold and dark. The food was terrible, including cold pasta, tasteless lamb dishes. Maybe location brings business & the restaurant doesn’t have to make any effort but The Londoner: a supposedly ‘premium’ hotel needs to up its game.
