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.

    The service was excellent but the Festive Menu food was disappointing. The burrata tasted bad, the chicken dish was literally just the chicken (no veg or accompaniment which is a bit strange given you're not really expecting /prompted to order extras with a set menu), and the Christmas pudding was sub-par. The mushroom risotto was yummy though! Restaurant is pretty but not particularly festive in the dining area, if that's what you're looking for. Overall, a bit of a disappointment, except for the waiter who was fantastic!

    Excellent service and food. We chose the festive menu which began with a wonderful blanc de blanc and the food matched the wine. Highly recommended.

    In town for a weekend shopping trip and decided to book tables at places we’ve never been before. Absolutely amazing spot for dinner. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a lovely hostess who took our coats, an outstanding waiter who delivered exceptional service, and a great gentleman bar keep who was spot on. 100% recommend.

    Beautiful restaurant and overall ambiance. Great place for a drink or dinner date. The mushroom risotto was amazing and I’d order that if I visited again. We also had the baby chicken which tasted great but was hard to eat since it was on the bone. Restrooms were very clean.

    I went for dinner with my mom. We went to the Withcombs last year around the same time and could not stop thinking about it ever since. So yesterday we went again and it was amazing! Food was so so delicious and our waitress Sneha is the sweetest soul. She was attentive and super friendly. It was an evening filled with the best food, great wine and good talks. Thank you Withcombs!
