    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.

    Set on London’s most vibrant square, Leicester Square Kitchen introduces a Mexican and Peruvian dining experience serving small plates and innovative cocktails. From exquisite tacos to fine skewered meats from the Peruvian barbecue, the menu takes diners on a journey through the unique flavours of South America.
    With Soho and Covent Garden on the doorstep, Leicester Square Kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-theatre dinner. The restaurant is just a few minutes' walk from iconic West End theatres such as Harold Pinter Theatre, Garrick Theatre, Her Majesty's Theatre and many more.
    We invite you to join us for a pre-dinner drink on our terrace or in the neighbouring At The Hampshire Lounge Bar prior to your dining experience. At weekends, resident DJs provide a backing track to a fun and memorable night in town.
    Please note that from Sunday to Tuesday the menu will be limited to the lounge bar menu.
  2. A photo of Plum Valley restaurant

    Plum Valley

    Price: Expensive
    Chinese
    4.4
    (2,585)
    Located in the heart of London's bustling Chinatown district, Plum Valley is a sleek Cantonese restaurant that stands out along Gerrard Street for its minimalist style and smart wooden, slate and stone interior. Perfect for business lunches, pre-theatre meals and post-sightseeing snacks, Plum Valley Chinese restaurant is conveniently located near Piccadilly Circus and the West End without being touristy, and the restaurant boasts its own conference facilities well suited for private events and meetings. Dumpling lovers will go gaga for the scallop dumpling, whisker black cod roll, and we also recommend the pillowy cream custard bun, Mongolian fillet steak, and the grilled sea bass with ginger and spring onion. Or just take your waiter's advice and make a survey of the sublime dim sum or the excellent a la carte. Smart enough for dates, yet friendly to groups, Plum Valley is a great must-try restaurant in Chinatown.

    sides and starters could use a price reduction or a little bit bigger compared to the mains, the size and price is really good. both were very good taste wise i must admit. Mains could offer some more presentation which the starters and cocktails excelled in. The deserts were the biggest let down of the night. Taste average could get better from M&S, was not a sizeable portion at all. presentation lacked. Ambience was good. Lovely restaurant inside and good location. Seats were comfortable although our table was a bit wide for a 2 seater and i felt far from my food and partner sat across. Was quite busy for a tuesday evening so we didn’t get the best seats in the house but that isn’t the restaurants fault. I am however autistic and do suffer from sensitivity to loud noises. Lots of birthday presentations going on and random dancing and clapping but it was funny and didn’t ruin my night. Just something to note if you suffer similar problems and want to go here or were looking for a quiet dinner. A few waiters were clumsy and dropped things which were loud and startled me quite some. Overall total was £150 with service we ordered Chicken Tacos 10/10 Mac and cheese balls 7.5/10 Smash Burger and Truffle Fries 8/10 Philly Steak 9/10 Appletiser Long Island 8/10 Dragonfruit Cocktail 7/10 (was too minty) Kiwi Sour 10/10
