Welcome to a corner of the French Mediterranean. Nestled between London’s St James and Leicester Square, 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. Additionally, join us for breakfast, dinner, cocktails, and more.
Join to bask in the sunshine, enjoy Champagne, cocktails and delicious food on our summer terrace by Veuve Clicquot – a stunning spot nestled between St James and Soho, that transports you to a corner of the Mediterranean. This alfresco dining terrace in central London serves a selection of Veuve Clicquot, as well as Champagne tasting flights and bubbly cocktails including an Agrumes 75 and Reims Spritz. To complement the drinks, enjoy dishes inspired by dining in the French Mediterranean, from rock oysters to King prawn linguine and fresh gnocchi. The outdoor terrace, or aptly named Terrasse Ensoleillée by Veuve Clicquot at Whitcomb’s, is the perfect place for a leisurely lunch, afternoon drinks or relaxing evening meal in Leicester Square.
Before your dining experience, you're invited to enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the neighbouring gin bar Joshua's Tavern or in the Japanese rooftop garden, 8 at The Londoner.
