This legendary venue was first opened by Auguste Kettner, chef to Napoleon III in 1867. Its recent refurbishment plays off the frisson of its proximity to the theatres… back to when it started, so conveniently situated next to the stage doors when it was a favourite of Edward VII and Lillie Langtry and Oscar Wilde.

Kettners serves fresh, contemporary brasserie food and the different rooms and menus are versatile enough to suit all occasions and tastes from a casual lunch to pre-theatre meal or a special occasion.

In addition to a Brasserie and the Champagne Bar, there is a Pudding Bar for tea or late night treats and a club like space, The Apartment.

Kettner’s has many spaces for hire, including bookable nooks in the Champagne Bar, Private Dining Rooms and the original ‘Cabinets Particuliers’ which have been restored, plus a complete party floor.
