Leicester House in City of London, Westminster

Nos alojamos una noche en este hotel. en una fantástica posición en el centro de la ciudad a sólo 3 minutos a pie del teatro que visitábamos.

Hotel très bien situé au centre de Londres. Nombreux accès pour visiter à pied ou en transport.

This hotel is total disaster from bottom to top. I had to stay there several times because of business, and every time it was catastrophic experience. Once i was taking bath and it was 12st January and the bath started flooding the bathroom itself and a room! all my clothes was on a floor, and i did stay for one night with no luggage and no other clothes even a pants or socks! The clothes was completely and utterly wet, i have called the reception and the best solution 5* boutique hotel could offer ist to take my credit card go to buy h&M; something to wear! Although they double the amount they have spend `(£50) 5 days after i left, they have bought completely wrong sizes and they did also not bothered to ask how much does my branded clothes cost to compensate as i had no choice bu to throw it to the bin.

Visitamos La Casa de Leicester para las hamburguesas de Le pelea que era aquí un par de meses como un restaurante pop-up. La hamburguesa (las trufas doble doble) fue probablemente la mejor hamburguesa que he comido. Realmente era increíble. El servicio (que supongo es proporcionado por el restaurante y no por el pop-up) era excelente, aunque nos dejaron esperando en el bar para bastante tiempo antes de que nos dimos cuenta de que teníamos una mesa reservada (a pesar de experiencias que un número de veces). El personal era amable y dispuesto a charlar y nos ofreció un par de interesantes cada gelatina de disparos. Mientras que vinimos aquí a la comida del restaurante emergente estaría para volver a ver cómo es cuando le pelea no está alrededor.

Fui para una bebida por la tarde entre semana antes cinema. Estaba tranquilo y vacío.

Reservé este hotel y obviamente se veía en su sitio web que anuncia un restaurante y bar vietnamita francés, abierto todo el día. A la llegada nos dijeron que el bar y el restaurante estaba cerrado. Las persianas cerradas y la habitación no era accesible aparte del desayuno. Además no había servicio de habitación ofrece. En efecto, qué estaba anunciado como un hotel de 4 estrellas boutique hotel fue un b&b.; En el lado positivo, la suite en la que nos alojamos era excelente. Yo odio que engañar!

Estábamos en la ciudad por el horror de Frightfest festival de cine. Estamos ventiladores de película de hardcore que no se pierda un momento, por lo que tienden a sobrevivir en perros y nachos calientes en el cine o aperitivos que llegar desde la tienda de la esquina. Pero nos encontramos con un almuerzo libre de una vez y Leicester casa tenía nos llamó la atención ya que Había pasado por un día. Así que decidimos probarlo, y no nos decepcionó.

Best ribs I've ever had, really friendly service and great cocktails! Would highly recommend it! The location is great to meet up with friends before going to a theatre or a night out.

Vinimos aquí para una cena temprano antes del teatro. La comida es vietnamita y asiática con un buen menú corto. Sabores fue maravilloso con un gran cerdo de la danza del vientre se llenaba un pan asiática y col - estos platos eran nuestros favoritos. El personal es amable, mucha gente bebiendo fuera. El comedor no ocupados, le faltaba ambiente, pero estuvimos allí antes de las 7 pm. Había un menú pre-teatro, pero era limitar y elegimos el menú principal. Una buena selección de vinos por copa. Un oasis en la zona de Chinatown, sin duda, volvería.

dans le quartier chinois de Londres, besoin d'aller aux toilettes pour laver mes lunettes de soleil tombées dans un endroit pas très propre; on était pas loin de ce restaurant qui fait aussi hôtel; très gentiment la réceptionniste m'a autorisée à utiliser les toilettes du restaurant; comme je passais à côté de la cuisine, j'ai été surprise par les odeurs qui s'en échappaient et qui laissaient présager l'excellence de la cuisine ; donc à l'heure du déjeuner nous voilà dans ce même restaurant; la qualité de la cuisine était à la hauteur des bonnes odeurs senties 1 h auparavant, mon odorat ne m'avait pas menti; les plats étaient très fins , très bien présenté; pour ma part j'ai mangé un poisson absolument délicieux, très bien cuit; tout était frais et fait maison; le service vraiment très agréable; le décor pas original mais c'était confortable; vraiment une très bonne adresse pour ceux qui visitent le quartier chinois

New place with excellent food and one of the mojitos I have ever had. It's a kind of tapas approach to a menu so you need to order 3-4 plates each.

The food was outstanding. They had comments it was too spicy. It was not too spicy. It was FABULOUS! Would go back again!

It's early days for this French-Vietnamese hybrid just off Leicester Square. While the food is stunning, the prices are a little eye-watering and on our visit there seemed to be way more staff than customers, who were talking to each other across the rather small restaurant room, seemingly oblivious to how awkward this made the very few paying diners feel. Being so close to the hotel reception desk is also a bit odd - you get the occasional tourist traipsing through the restaurant with their luggage, or heading out into London via the restaurant doors. Fix the lack of ambience and focus on giving the customers an overall experience that matches the food quality (and the high-end prices) and they should be onto a winner.

The food here is mostly small plates, with a Vietnamese-French twist. Some of it was delicious - particularly the pineapple dessert.

The food is delicious here and the location perfect before going to a theatre show or just hanging and eating well after shopping! The staff are super friendly and accommodating I will definitely go back and visit!

Really delicious, fresh British food, beautifully cooked, and at very reasonable prices. The pre theatre set menu is very good - when I last went, there was beautifully cooked meat, came with different veg to those listed, but all very good. Slightly disappointing roulade for dessert, but that is the first time I've had something there which didn't hit the mark. It is in a slightly odd spot, tucked away off Leicester Square, and seems to be quite quiet whenever I go, which I rather like sometimes - but don't go if you want somewhere really lively.

There's only an either/or choice on the pre-theatre menu but both the main course (fish) and the pudding (roulade) were really outstanding. (The artichoke and pea starter was, to my taste, so delicate as to be dull, but exquisitely presented!) I'm told it has a Michelin star - very likely. A bonus is that wine was from £5 a glass and that for £11 I had a terrific, properly strong cocktail in a bar that was agreeably peaceful at 5.30 on a Saturday when everywhere else off Leicester Square was heaving. (You don't get extras - freebie nuts, etc, but at this price, who cares?)Warning: Don't confuse it with One Leicester Street Penthouse - it's the other end of this very short street.

I had Sunday lunch in this restaurant a couple of weeks back and it was a very nice surprise. We arrived relatively early at 1pm, and the restaurant was not very busy. Before too long it was full with diners and lively. We intended to have 2 courses but ended up having 3 as the food was too good and we didn't want to miss out! I would highly recommend it.

Lovely bar, but for £12 per drink it is lacking the service. Bar not busy but still need to wait for hours for a drink. Anything between 0-3 staff behind the bar with very little drinks being served. Seen actually few people sit down and then head off due to lack of service. Real shame, since this is a real hidden gem. Lovely bar otherwise.

I am absolutely love this restaurant. I have been several times and it never disappoints. Finding yourself in theatre land in a pit of tourist ridden chain restaurants you can escape to an amazing restaurant here. The food has built on the St. John concept after the departure of Fergus Henderson and now carries an identity of its own. A pre meal drink at the bar is a must as the cocktails and friendliness of the staff is amazing. True favourite worth a detour!

Kudos to Leo Carreira and the Viajante team for a brilliant popup dinner at One Leicester Street. This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in recent years, primarily because of the intimacy into which you are placed with your fellow diners and with the staff. This is the first time I've had a communal fine dining experience and it blew me away. The food was obviously great as would be expected and was proportioned perfectly - I was beginning to think I would leave hungry from smaller courses, but then the Iberico pork came just at the right time. Just a tremendous evening and being able to meet the others at the table and discuss the various dishes (with the chef even) added so much to the experience. And the price for everything was simply too good to be true.I hope that the team is successful in this venue, and I couldn't recommend this more.

Found this place last minute early morning and decided to pop in for breakfast. Simplistic layout but elegant. Our waitress was very friendly and the kitchen was on view.We ordered pancakes and the porridge both which were done excellently. Overall I would visit this restaurant again

We booked this restaurant for a pre-theatre meal because of its location near the theatre and the fact it was in the Good Food Guide. The greeting was friendly and efficient, and since we were early, we were offered the choice of any table in the restaurant, a nice touch. The decor is a bit sombre but pleasant.There is a choice of either a pre-theatre menu (2 or 3 courses) available before 6.30 pm, or a la carte. The pre-theatre menu had a choice of three dishes in each course, but we couldn't see anything we liked so we chose from the a la carte, and for reasons of time, missed out on starters. However, even the a la carte menu is limited, and for example, of the 6 fish dishes - 4 were shellfish, one was vegetarian and only one was fish. If you're allergic to shellfish, this is very limiting. I would have expected at least two dishes to be plain fish. However, enough of the issues, the food we did choose came relatively quickly and was absolutely delicious, perhaps a bit rich, but very very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyable. The dessert was equally good as was the strong coffee with which we ended. Very well worth the visit.There was a cocktail list, and a selection of wines by the bottle and by the glass - we had a glass of the Nyetimber which was excellent.Service throughout was outstanding - cheerful, caring and very efficient. We didn't feel rushed, nor anxious that we wouldn't be finished in time for the theatre.We were glad we had booked and thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

First visit but won't be the last, the food and service were great. The lunch menu although limited is very adventurous with some great combinations. Saying that I had a chicken and leek pie which may sound boring but it had the richest short crust pastry made with so much butter it melted in your mouth and the most succulent pieces of chicken in a beautiful creamy sauce. The wife's pork collar was amazing and far more adventurous but perfectly cooked.

Staff were very attentive, food was out of the world and wine selection was great. We spent the whole evening there and didn't feel rushed, it was an enjoyable experience and i would love to go back!! Star dish for me was the venison and the salted caramel dessert. For me though the service of the waiters sets this restaurant out from others!

Very good meal - odd but good wine list. Definitely go for the pig skin. Superb. Very quiet wine bar above the restaurant. Secret venue!

We had lunch here on 3 January before seeing Martin Shaw in 12 Angry Men. Both experiences were excellent. The restaurant was virtually empty but the man on reception bizarrely went to ask if there was a table. It wasn't a good start but from the moment the friendly and knowledgeable waitress greeted us everything was very enjoyable. This must be one of the best value lunches around - £19 for 3 courses - with great value wine too. Try the middlewhite pork with celariac, the squash, goats curd and hazlenut and the excellent beef with beans. Even the home made biscuit with the cheese was exceptional. But what you really must not miss if they have any is the brown butter and honey tart. Sublime. And no, don't go there if you want gravy on your food!

An oasis of quiet and good food in the otherwise awful surroundings or Leicester Square and therefore very necessary. Glad to see that although the team behind Viajante has taken over, they kept the chefs that worked with Fergus Henderson and the menu is still very much "St John" which means unusual parts of animals and lots of seafood and shellfish to choose from, British cheese and delicious puddings in the form of main courses as well as sharing dishes. Excellent service, friendly, personable and attentive. Highly recommended.

Had a pretty good meal there. Roast pork joint was delicious. Asked for some gravy with it and was told if I wanted gravy I should go to Harvester. Quite rude I thought. Don't go there if want friendly service.

Had a very enjoyable Saturday lunch here. Delicious and sweet brown shrimp with fennel to start with and devilled venison offal with a real chilli kick to it, beautifully cooked. Also tried the chicken and leek pie and some very pleasant ice cream for dessert. Service was friendly and helpful and for a Michelin starred place it was really not at all expensive. For our visit the restaurant was very quiet (not many Saturday shopper walk-ins but I'm sure its packed most other times, it deserves to be!

This is about the 3rd time I've been here. The service is good,all very professional young people(which is nice to see)The roe and skin is a good choice for a pre starter.The crab and char were also good. The blood orange desert was excellent.The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed with soft lights that suit the place.

So I phoned the number as per the website. Automated response, so followed instructions and pressed 1 for Reservations. A lady's voice responded quickly. I made my request and gave all my details and awaiting confirmation or otherwise of my request. "I will now pass on your details to a colleague and she will call you back," she said. I repeated my contact details. Did anyone call me back? The h*ll as like...OK, so this is the pre-Xmas rush, when establishments get run off their feet. But I will still be in the market for dining in January. And February. There is a full choice of dining venues in the London West End, and I don't thing I shall be troubling One Leicester Street again. If they are as lackadaisical with other customers, I don't see this place lasting too long.

This is one of my 'locals' and I regularly invite friends, colleagues, and family to enjoy fabulous reinvented British food. Everything is accurate: ingredients, tastes, textures, cooking modes and times. The result is deceptively 'simple'. From breakfast to Sunday roast, every meal the restaurant offers is worth going for. A little gem in an area where far too many restaurants favour glitz over substance. One Leicester Square does not...

British cuisine re-imagined! It's fresh, seasonal and unexpectedly simple with the taste being fragile and crisp. Love the simplicity of real, authentic meals.The ingredients are fun, like pork skin (scratchings) with a taramasalata dipping sauce....everything is cooked to perfection, and the service is just WOW. It's the perfect treat on a lazy Saturday. We went there for lunch, and enjoyed every minute. This is a hidden gem, tucked away behind Leicester Square and China Town. If you love 'Viajante' and the 'Corner Room' then is is your place!

Bit difficult to find, taxi driver said he could not go to door, hint the street with 1 Leicester Square at one end is the street to be on at the other end.Bright restaurant and friendly young staff. Limited choice on the pre theatre menu. Optied for the fish soup which was fantastic. Mains were sausage which was good.

Nous sommes allés manger là pour l'anniversaire de notre fils, le repas était délicieux et le service impeccable, nous ne pouvons que recommander cet excellent établissement.

My friend & I booked this restaurant for the Sunday lunch deal - 2 courses for £19.50 prior to our trip to the theatre to see The Commitments, which was great & well worth seeing. Anyway, the restaurant is small but tastefully decorated & you can see the chefs at work, which is always great. Our waiter was very friendly & attentive & the service was quick but we didn't feel rushed at all. When we arrived there were only a couple of tables occupied but they all started filling up from 1pm till it was full. The food itself was very tasty, I had the roast pork, which was a huge portion but sadly an issue with the ovens meant no crackling :-( My friend had the roast beef, which came medium rare, so if you like it more done than this, make sure you let them know. Both portions were very generous & more than enough to fill you up for the rest of the day. The wine selection was very varied with the least expensive red at £21.00, which was actually very good. I would recommend this for a pre-theatre meal for value for money & friendly, quick service.

Really enjoyed sunday Lunch yesterday . Very pleasant setting , friendly and efficient staff . The menu is a set one of limited choice . But the starters , mains and desserts are all really excellent . We enjoyed the Dexter beef it was like a very good fillet ,whilst the devilled mussels had a real zing . looking at others enjoying the pork that too seemed excellent . My partner is not a desert person but despite the promise of sharing I saw nothing of her Salty caramel dessert . Mind you I had already scoffed my almond sponge pud , yum yum .The meal was excellent value and we washed it all down with very good Camden beer and a bottle of the house white which was a very nice full flavoured number .

The restaurant is small and would benefit from a better exposition (it is located on a backstreet just off Leicester Square) but offers british dishes of good quality.The food presentation is simple, the combination of the ingredients well chosen and the staff very friendly. It might not be the most amazing place to eat in London but is perfectly suitable for a decent and casual lunch/diner without the show-off which usually goes with the most sought-after restaurants.

One Leicester Street serves very well judged British food at very fair prices (exceptional if you were to compare with other barns of mediocrity that flog utter carp around Leicester Sq). Service was a charm and preprandial cocktails delightful in their simplicity. I'll be back to try more of the kitchen's cooking and cocktails upstairs. It is an ideal space for a spot of delicious calm in the 'ustle n bustle.

I had visited the restaurant almost a year ago, when it was owned by Ferguson. Today the owner is a hotelier, as in the same building there are 15 guest rooms. The chef is Tom Harris, who - if I am not mistaken - was also in charge of the team under the previous ownership. Needless to say, I was quite curious to taste the food as Ferguson had set the bar very high indeed. Well, I was handsomely rewarded for my will to try. We had the smoked cod's roe and devilled pig's skin as a shared appetizer, and then brawn, white cabbage and mustard accompanied by roasted squash, childwickbury (a soft white cheese) and dill. We finished our meal with the plum, toasted almond and creme fraiche pudding, and colston bassett (cheese), oat biscuit and apple. Everything was delicious. It suffices to say that eventhough I am not a vegetarian, I enjoyed the roasted squash immensely. In other words, Tom Harris cooks tasty food! An this is a good enough reason to visit. If you combine this with the excellent service and the down to earth prices, you have an irresistible treat.

I've had dinner here before with friends so I visited again and was very pleased again. Even though my preferred dish (the duck) wasn't available anymore, staff helped me to choose another delicious combination of meat, vegetables and fish, which I really enjoyed. The menu is quite unusual but excellent and it is quite helpful to get good advice from the staff.The Italian red wine was very tasty and the brown sugar and honey tart for desert simply brilliant! I will certainly come back to this place.

Went for meal here last month and was well impressed. Fantastic friendly service and interesting food!

Cadre agréable et personnel très à l'écoute et très disponible. La carte est assez petite, normal les produits sont frais. La nourriture est bien présentée.Les prix sont très corrects compte tenu de la qualité. A recommander vivement !

Had dinner here this evening, and on the whole, it was very good.A small intimate dining room with a view of the kitchen offering interesting food combinations and an extensive wine list.We had the choice of ordering from the Pre-Theatre dinner menu, which was 2 or 3 courses, or from the regular menu with lots of sharing plates. I had the smoked duck, which was delicate and buttery, with beets and walnuts. I also had the Middlewhite Pork served with turnip greens. The pork was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender, and there was a lovely bit of crackling on the side. Dessert was rhubarb curd with creme fraiche sorbet and raspberries. The descriptions on the menu did not do the desserts justice.My only complaint was that the food was lukewarm when it arrived at the table, and I am not convinced that the Stilton was appropriately served with sweet oatcakes and apple chutney. However, on the whole, it was an excellent meal, and certainly would return to try something different.

Despite being located in the very heart of Soho, the black walls and minimalist design could easily make it pass unnoticed in the red dominant Chinatown. Unusual and exquisite menu, excellent execution, friendly staff and good service standards.

When we saw the menu we weren't sure what to make if it but so glad we persevered. The waitress could see us struggling so she gently led us through the menu suggesting we share starters, which we were so happy we did. We tried the amazing pig skin with roe, beautifully cooked carrots with a crumbly goats cheese, fennel with crab and mussels - all delicious. Then we has the sausages with white beans & fennel as well as the plaice with girolles. Never had I seen such a thick piece of plaice, it was quite chunky but beautifully cooked. The wine list was equally interesting - I think our red was from Bulgaria and they plan to have Croatian wines next. You could watch Tom Harris & his team cooking in the open kitchen. He even came over & chatted to us. Our only complaint was the inordinate effort it took to book a table by phone. Yes the restaurant is no longer part of the St John group, but the St John staff coukd have made it easier for us to book. Tom Harris is still in charge of the kitchen so the quality remains. Tom really ought to market himself & the restaurant more because he really does have something to shout about. We loved it & will definitely be back. Highly recommended

This is first rate restaurant at reasonable price for the quality you get. Poultry meats are tender and combinations are a bit aventurous. The decor is impecable and the chefs are nearby if you are in a chatty mood. You should definitely try it.

Great food served by nice people. Well informed stuff. Talented chefs! Delicious combination. I reccomand crab and duck.

Don't be shy, try sweetbreads, ox heart or any of the more customary offerings. The small but well edited menu reserves surprises in the treatment of upper crust English comfort food.Do not miss the puddings, salty caramel ice cream, peach and thyme, surprise yourselves.The list of wines is temptingly edited to varietals that are not your run of the mill "brand", goood deals from Languedoc-Roussillon or Teneriffe.We will be back .Leicester square has not been that sophisticated in a long time.

Eccellente la bistecca di maiale e il contorno di cetrioli. Ottimi i dessert (gli ultimi due del menu), oltre a essere davvero originali.

I took a party of 5 here recently for a pre-theatre dinner. We sat outside under awnings in perfect comfort & we served by efficient, friendly & knowledgeable staff. We had a gluten-free diner with us but the staff really understood the menu well so were able to ensure there were no problems there. The £16.00 2 course menu is excellent value given where the restaurant is located (just off Leicester Sq) and had a reasonable selection of dishes. The food is certainly more adventurous that many a pre-theatre offering in other restaurants, but none the worse for that. The dishes were all freshly prepared & my wife was particularly complimentary about her crab starter.Four of us chose the monk fish main course, but they only had 2 portions left so the restaurant used (more expensive) halibut instead without any hesitation. The wine was a £29 bottle of Rioja rose (or blush for our American readers!). Overall, a great place to go & thank you for giving us a great dinner before a great show!

Had dinner here on Friday & it was a very enjoyable evening with amazing food & lovely staff.The puddings are to die for! Can't fault it.

Rarely do you get service so good. Sometimes attentive service can be intrusive or bothersome, but here it was just right. This is not a standard restaurant, the menu is unusual, you have to spend some time studying it and this is where the excellent staff really come into their own. They bring the dishes to life and if you've got an adventurous palate some taste surprises await you!You can have this as a traditional dinner or as a more tapas style sharing experience. I had the asparagus with pigs cheek ham and walnut and pigeon egg yolk with grated kirkingham cheese followed by roasted duck served with chard and some excellent minted peas. To finish I wanted three different items on the dessert menu and they created a tasting experience whereby I could have the brown butter and honey tart (light and delicious), the salted caramel and noisette dessert (very nice) and the cord, stitchilton and kirkingham cheeses with oat biscuits and amazing london city natural honeycomb. We had the sangiovese wine and plenty of glasses of champagne and other drinks. Finished with coffees, the total bill for 6 people on a Saturday night was a very reasonable £260There's a nice bar area upstairs, this is a great venue for pre or post theatre drinks and dinner. Excellent. Well worth a visit. There's an excellent outside area that would be amazing for Lunch if we ever get a summer.

Ho sia fatto colazione e cenato in questo eclettico locale. Personale cordiale, attento e sempre sorridente. Ottima sia la colazione all'italiana che l'english breakfast.I piatti serali sono ben presentati e gustosi.

I eat out a lot and this was possibly the best food I've had this year.Wish I could go back every week.Great service too.

A relaxing place with an open kitchen and friendly and attentive service. The menu is certainly creative and different. Lots of choice with plenty of interesting combinations and ingredients including shellfish and offal. The wine list has some unusual options from Spain and elsewhere. A culinary haven from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area. Do have the browned butter tart - it was supremely good.

One of the advantages of eating here is being able to choose from the ever changing menu and share the plates, tapas style. Which we enjoyed. The menu itself is imaginative and often with unexpected delights, such as duck hearts, which were delicious. Some of the other dishes, such as beans with wild garlic, were also great. Occasional dishes I felt weren't quite as flavoursome as I thought they could be but overall we enjoyed our meal, which was complemented by excellent service.

I have always been a fan of the St John's school of Brit food but this restaurant takes you to another place...witty, interesting food, great vibe, good portions and innovative, well priced wine list from independent wine producers. Spontaneously helpful staff too and how lovely to see Tom Harris himself in the open kitchen so you can discuss the meal. This place is really what good London dining should be - classy but creative!! Bravo - I must try breakfast soon!

We visited on Tuesday, May 7th for breakfast. One of us had poached eggs and toast...really good. I had pancakes, yoghurt, honey and rhubarb preserve. All of the elements were excellent. We followed with baked in-house sticky buns and fantastic cappuccino....clearly the best cappuccino we had during our trip to London.The restaurant has a very interesting lunch menu which we hope to experience next time.Excellent service, staff who clearly get on well with each other. Lovely decor, table linen etc.Very enjoyable breakfast.

After St John's and Quo Vadis, we definitely note a trend in London. Use local, simpler foods and herbs (offals are top of the crop). Serve them fresh in inventive mix (pig skin as crisps for cod roe, a fabulous appetizer). Use a modest yogurt, add some blood orange sorbet and meringue and yummie ! Ask what the ingredients are as they are not always familiar names and you will be surprised and will enjoy an unusual and delicious meal (ok forget about your diet, as this is delicious fat and salty accompaniments ).In tourist-land behind Leicester square, this is a find, small and clean lines, you will love the food and the attention to details. Interesting selection of wines, well curated.We will be back, it is a promise.
