Tucked away inside the Radisson Edwardian lies the Leicester Square Bar & Restaurant where it is all about seafood. Don't worry that it's inside the hotel because like we said it's all about the seafood. There were people having a drink on the sofas and the atmosphere was warm within this modern cosy restaurant...still keeping its classy. It was relatively quiet for a Wednesday night, but we reckoned that had something to do with being in Leicester Square on Orange Wednesday; however it meant excellent service from friendly, knowledgeable staff.

We shared six Galway bay rock oysters and scallops to start; they were fresh and clean and gave me an appetite for more. Our main course arrived in good time, we tried the plaice which was delicate in flavour and exceptional quality, my companion had the smoked haddock with spinach, mash and a poached egg, a much stronger, bolder dish, but just as tasty; she finished it all! We washed our fish down with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and somehow found it in ourselves to share the delicious chocolate tart and ice cream!

Overall The Leicester Square restaurant was right up our street, the food was top notch and it’s a great pit stop after a long day shopping or before the theatre.

As a Sicilian leaving in London I give the Leicester Square Restaurant an impressive 5 out of 6.
