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.

    We enjoyed the food and service was excellent, but the club style loud music whilst eating isn’t for us. It’s not the place for a romantic meal for two as our table was too close to the couple sitting next to us. Better to eat here with a group of friends.

    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.
