There’s certainly a sense of West End glamour at this Leicester Square restaurant - it’s at the Hippodrome Casino, once a byword for London's lustre. It used to welcome the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dusty Springfield and Stevie Wonder. Today it remains a glitzy draw.
Its restaurant, Heliot offers a menu with more than a nod to Stateside steakhouses, with USDA cut, wings and ribs all on offer. Keep an eye out for lunch menus and a ‘24 hour menu’ with burgers, sliders, light-bites and breakfast bits available around the clock. Good for the gamers of a more relentless bent, perhaps.
