L’oscar Restaurant occupies the heart of L’oscar London at 2-6 Southampton Row in Holborn. Designer Jacques Garcia’s mirrored ceilings, rich jewel tones, original art and illuminated onyx bar create an intimate room with a deliberately theatrical sense of glamour.
The current cooking brings Nikkei and European cuisines together. Japanese and Peruvian techniques contribute bright, layered flavours and precise raw or lightly cooked dishes, while familiar European ideas are reworked with contemporary presentation and carefully sourced ingredients.
Crudos and crispy rice sit alongside warm dishes, seafood, meat and vegetable choices. Representative combinations include Scottish salmon with spice and tobiko, lobster with white miso, and wagyu beef with yuzu ponzu, showing how citrus, chilli and savoury seasonings run through the menu.
Service extends from breakfast through lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, making the restaurant useful at many points in the day. The ornate setting suits celebrations and pre-theatre dining, while a monthly cabaret evening adds another layer to the hotel’s performance inspired character.
Address: 2-6 Southampton Row, London WC1B 4AA, England
