Dalloway Terrace

Stylish Outdoor Dining in the Heart of London

Nestled just off Tottenham Court Road, Dalloway Terrace is a beautifully designed European restaurant that blends classic charm with modern elegance. Tucked inside The Bloomsbury Hotel, this all-day dining spot features a stunning heated terrace, lush seasonal décor, and a serene atmosphere that feels far removed from the city bustle—yet it's only a short walk from many of London’s premier concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you’re catching an early evening set or heading to a late-night gig, Dalloway Terrace is a great pre-show stop thanks to its central location and efficient service. The heated terrace makes it a year-round favorite, and the refined yet relaxed ambiance means you can enjoy everything from a quick cocktail to a leisurely three-course meal without missing your show. The menu is thoughtfully curated with seasonal European dishes, and you’ll find plenty of lighter options if you’re dining before heading out.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share small plates and wine in a stylish setting
• Solo travelers wanting a peaceful yet central spot before a show
• Couples planning a romantic pre-concert dinner
• Fans who want a lively but elegant vibe before the music starts
• Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want a special experience—look out for fixed-price lunch menus and weekday deals
