One of the oldest restaurants in Theatreland, Kettner’s spans over 5 floors, presenting contemporary modern European brasserie-style cuisine, as well as a champagne bar and pudding bar for late night tea or treats.

Kettner’s London was founded in 1867 by Auguste Kettner, a former chef to Napoleon III. Within 4 Listed Georgian houses, the restaurant is just behind the stage doors and has a secret passageway running to the Palace Theatre. Beautifully preserved and enhanced, Kettner’s boasts elegant period features throughout. With delicate white furniture, marble touches and glowing candelabras, Kettner’s restaurant exudes a homely Parisian feel in the heart of London.

Beneath the shimmering chandeliered ceilings, dine in exquisitely chic surroundings whilst you enjoy live music from the grand piano. Delicious dishes include the braised Galloway featherblade steak with horseradish mash and the coq au vin. Chocolate amaretti torte and pavlova of the day are amongst the mouth-watering desserts along with the artisan cheese board.

Full of character, Kettner’s - Soho was a favourite of Edward VII, Lillie Langtry and Oscar Wilde. Leicester Square Tube Station is just a 5-minute walk away.

pleasant staff and service, although we were offered the wrong starters and wine, destined for another table.

The food was quickly served, and was fine, but not outstanding.

"A pleasant venue"

By Foodie Dil

Comments about this restaurant :

Table booked for 7.00pm. Friendly waiter - service slow. The meal was poor - roast beef and roast lamb. The roast potatoes were over done and hard and the vegetables were not enough and served in a small bowl which had half and inch of water at the bottom. We did inform the waiter(not the one who started serving us)and in fairness he did offer a "free" coffee but we declined.
