Just a few minutes’ walk from some of London’s best live music venues, it’s an ideal pre-show dining spot for concert-goers looking for something a little special.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key: Monmouth Kitchen is within easy walking distance of popular venues like the Royal Opera House and Leicester Square’s theatres and music halls. The restaurant delivers efficient, attentive service, which is perfect if you're on a tight schedule before a show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the creative small plates, especially the signature ceviche and robata-grilled meats. The cocktail list is another highlight, with many recommending the Pisco Sour. Service is described as professional and prompt, and the sleek decor adds to the upscale but accessible feel. Many reviewers mention it’s their go-to spot before a show thanks to its central location and consistent quality.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners find the portions on the smaller side, especially when hungry before a concert. It can also get busy, particularly on weekends, so booking ahead is highly recommended. Prices are on the higher end, but most agree it's worth it for the quality and experience.
