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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Leicester Square Kitchen delivers a "vibrant atmosphere" with a delightful fusion of Mexican and Peruvian dishes. Standout tacos and ceviche are "beautifully presented," and cocktails are superb. While some service issues were noted, "attentive staff" and its "chic atmosphere" make it perfect for pre-theater dining. Highly recommended!

Lovely lunch. Delicious cocktails and super fresh selection of plates to share our party of five thoroughly enjoyed everything. Top tip… portion sizes are generous … we did somewhat over order. Staff all charming too.

First- We were 5 minutes late and were reminded if that when we arrived. Second- Be aware. Almost everything is super spicy! Third- They forgot to bring us many items - the ribs, a bottle of water, more taco chips- and we had to keep reminding them. Even though the restaurant was half empty, they blamed it on the kitchen! Fourth- They seemed to rush us out.

The food was honestly incredible! Would come back over and over again! The service was a little slow, mainly for drinks, we got our starters before our drinks arrived and our secondly lot of drinks never got put through but we’d finished by then.

Food was excellent, came out quickly however service wasnt attentive enough. We had to chase up our drinks order and we had seek out the waiter to order more drinks. We didn’t complain however the waiter did give us 20% off our bill without us saying anything and apologised for the service issues which we really appreciated.

The food was very good, everybody in the party was happy despite the menu being quite confusing! The waiting staff seemed to struggle with understanding the difference between vegan and vegetarian which is pretty concerning given the recent case in Costa of someone being killed by a dairy allergy. Service was reasonably good otherwise.

We were on the ‘cheap menu’ which is never a nice thing. The food was great but very expensive for what it was.

Lunch was nice. Good to sit and people watch in the busy Leicester Square. Unusual Peruvian menu, and it was good to see actual vegetables as key ingredients. Too spicy for me. Quite pricy, even for London.
