Welcome to
The Palomar

Located where Soho meets Chinatown, The Palomar opened in May 2014 to great critical reception and quickly became one of London’s most talked-about and exciting restaurants.

The Palomar has won numerous accolades, including Best Restaurant of the Year awards from GQ, Tatler and The Observer, and has proudly held a Michelin Bib Gourmand since 2014.

And the story continues: The Palomar Sydney opened in 2025.

The word “palomar” originates from the Spanish word for dovecote, a bird house found throughout the geographical regions of our cuisine, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Reservations & Walk-Ins

We offer reservations up to 1 month in advance for groups of up to 6 guests, and up to 2 months in advance for groups of 7 to 14 guests.

We always keep tables for walk-ins - just pop by and we'll do our best to seat you as quickly as we can.

If we have nothing available when you arrive, you are welcome to have a drink and a snack while you wait with us or even grab a drink in our sister venue The Blue Posts Pub, also home to our hidden wine bar, The Mulwray, just two doors down at 28 Rupert Street. Both are great options for pre or post dinner drinks!

Group Dining

For group dining of 7 - 14 guests, we offer a choice of two set menus for the table to share.

Group reservations and private events for larger parties are bookable online. Make your reservation below.
