About Whitcomb's
The Spotlight on Whitcomb's

Elegant Mediterranean Flavors in the Heart of Leicester Square

With its chic interiors, open-plan kitchen, and artful plating, this stylish spot offers a refined yet relaxed dining experience just moments from London's most iconic music venues.

Expect a sun-soaked menu inspired by southern France and coastal Italy, featuring fresh seafood, handmade pastas, and elevated classics like steak frites and grilled octopus. Whether you're heading to a concert or simply soaking in the West End energy, Whitcomb’s delivers a polished pre-show meal with a laid-back edge.
