The Palomar

About

The Palomar is a vibrant Soho restaurant that brings the flavours of Mediterranean, North African and Levantine cuisine to the heart of Theatreland. With an open‑kitchen concept, the space blends indoor dining with a spacious outdoor terrace, creating an energetic and warm atmosphere where guests can mingle while watching chefs at work. The menu, inspired by the cultural mix of Southern Spain, North Africa and the Levant, is crafted from locally sourced, organic, and sustainable ingredients – from free‑range meats and fresh Cornish seafood to artisanal cheeses. The restaurant has proudly held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2014, signalling exceptional food at a great value. Beyond the food, The Palomar offers a careful wine list featuring current and future icons, a selection of craft cocktails, beers, spirits and lower‑alcohol alternatives, ensuring a beverage programme that complements the bold flavours on the plate. The welcoming ambience, attentive service and commitment to sustainability make it an ideal spot for casual dinners, special occasions or a relaxed meal after a day of sightseeing. Reservations are encouraged, particularly during peak dining hours, though the restaurant does welcome guests without a reservation if space permits. For groups of six or fewer, bookings can be made up to one month in advance, and for groups of seven to fourteen, the deadline extends to two months. Walk‑ins are accepted, but returning customers or larger parties may experience longer waits. The Palomar’s convenient location—just a few minutes from Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square—makes it a popular dining choice for both locals and visitors alike.
