Wigmore Hall Restaurant & Bar

Mainly aimed at concert goers (service stops at 19.30), this restaurant is in the basement of the Wigmore Hall, with entrances from the street or within the Hall. The menu is modern European, and at a recent dinner we had halibut, herb gnocchi, truffle oil, peas and broad beans; and corn fed chicken breast, boudin blanc, dauphinoise potatoes, and sweetcorn. Both dishes were competent, but nothing stunning. Puds were more mundane Eton mess, and a lemon tart with no bite. With drinks, coffee, but not including service, we paid £54 for two. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of competition in the area, so we would probably go again if we were at a concert there.

We had an excellent meal last week before a performance at Wigmore Hall. The seabass on wilted spinach with caviar was light and refreshing. The asparagus and peas risotto was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly, and the dining room is beautiful. We definitely look forward to eating here again.
