Whitcomb's

Mediterranean restaurant in Central London

Drawing from the coastlines and kitchens of France, Italy, Greece and beyond, Whitcomb’s brings the breadth and soul of Mediterranean dining to the heart of London’s West End. 

Dishes are fresh, elegant and designed to transport guests to our favourite spots: from a lively plaza in Andalusia to a lemon-lined terrace on the Amalfi Coast, or a shoreside taverna in the Cyclades. Whether it’s a long lunch or a late evening, join us at our Mediterranean restaurant in London for a dining experience that’s relaxed in pace and always rich in flavour.




 



Tastes from across the Mediterranean,from Crete to Calabria, paired with cocktails and fine wines.




 



In the heart of theatreland, we're the perfect spot to dine before or after the show, with a special set menu.




 



Gather friends and family for special occasions around the table in a private dining space.
