Louie London

What Louie London does

Louie London is a French brasserie restaurant located on the first floor of House of Louie at 13-15 West Street in the heart of Covent Garden, central London. The venue serves refined French cuisine — including oysters, carpaccio, signature cocotte, and reimagined French desserts such as Paris-Brest — alongside an extensive wine and cocktail programme. Live jazz and piano performances are core to the guest experience, running Tuesday through Saturday from 5pm through late evening, with a dedicated pre-theatre dining window (5pm–7pm) targeting West End theatre audiences. The restaurant also operates a private dining and event hire service for seated dinners, champagne receptions, and corporate celebrations in a confidential dining room styled as a private members' club.

The business is positioned within a multi-venue hospitality complex, House of Louie, alongside Wani Tzuki Restaurant (DJ sets) and Alligator Bar (live performances and late-night DJs). Reservations are managed through the SevenRooms platform, and the venue markets via its own website, email newsletter, and a dedicated events sales channel. Louie is privately held under Paris Society International, a strategic hospitality operator, with no external investment or public listing disclosed. Pricing is not publicly posted; menus are available as downloadable PDFs covering à la carte, dessert, pre-theatre, group dining, bar, and wine offerings. Operating geography is the United Kingdom only, with no current signals of multi-site expansion outside the existing Covent Garden footprint.
