"You’re never quite sure what you’re getting with theatre-adjacent restaurants, but Lasdun, from the team behind the Marksman, delivers. This stylish restaurant inside the National Theatre has Brutalist lines and textures, but comforting British food—buns, pies to share, and a lush brown butter and custard tart. Plus, it doesn’t get much more convenient than rolling straight from the swish dining room to seeing Mark Rylance in something moody in under 60 seconds.
