LSQ Rooftop - Leicester Square

Spectacular Views and Exceptional Service

Nestled above the hustle of Leicester Square, LSQ Rooftop asserts itself as one of the gems in London's collection of sky-high locales. As you ascend to the rooftop, you are immediately treated to the panoramic splendors of London’s landmarks, each more captivating than the last. The view alone almost justifies the visit, flawlessly accentuated by the ambient lighting that softens the hard edges of the cityscape below. The setting pairs elegance with a touch of laid-back, creating an atmosphere perfect for both brunch and an evening chandelier-lit soiree. With comfortable seating spread amidst lush greenery, it embodies a haven from the clamor of the city streets.

Culinary-wise, LSQ strives ambitiously, particularly excelling in the realm of their crafted cocktails, which are not merely extravagant liquors dressed up but rather artisanal experiences unto themselves. Attentive staff like Nensi or Aleksa frequently win over patrons with their warmth and promptness, ensuring that no glass sits empty and every inquiry is met with a smile. While some might confess a hit-or-miss encounter with certain food dishes—particularly noting an overpriced shot or a questionable steak—the ambiance somehow cushions these critiques, like a well-curated playlist masking a momentary pause in conversation. With a bottomless prosecco brunch that's true to its name and service that's decidedly engaged, LSQ Rooftop reveals much promise, potentially elevating any dining experience with its sweeping views and spirited vibe. Even amidst calls for a venue refresh, its allure lies in its capability to turn familiar vistas into tales worth retelling. — Audrey Al Dente
