Whitcomb’s is the Mediterranean restaurant inside The Londoner at 38 Leicester Square. The elegant room provides an escape from the activity of the West End while remaining close to its theatres, galleries and cinemas. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend all day service give the restaurant a broad rhythm.

The menu draws from France, Italy, Greece and other Mediterranean coastlines. Sharing plates, hand rolled pasta and market fresh fish are prepared with a light touch and seasonal ingredients. Seafood snacks, baked spinach and feta dip and larger plates such as Dover sole or mushroom risotto show how the menu moves between casual and polished.

A pre-theatre menu is paced for diners heading to a performance, while Sunday roast adds Mediterranean herbs and flavours to a British weekend tradition. Beef, lemon and thyme chicken or mushroom en croûte can be paired with generous traditional sides. Desserts and a compact martini and fries offer provide other ways to finish or simplify a visit.

Wine and signature cocktails are chosen to suit the fresh, coastal character of the food. Whitcomb’s works for business lunches, date nights, group dinners and meals before a West End show. Guests with allergies or specific dietary requirements should tell the restaurant and confirm current preparation before ordering.
