London’s New Bar Openings - London - The Infatuation
"Larry’s Bar—a new underground cocktail bar in the National Portrait Gallery—has a backstory straight out of an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?. It’s named after Sir Laurence Olivier and it used to be a Victorian coal storage space. There’s a secret entrance hidden on Charing Cross Road and the menu has snacks like Exmoor caviar and lobster rolls. Expect plush, velvet booths and portraits from the gallery’s own collection on the walls." - daisy meager, sinead cranna

"Available until the 31st of December, the Christmas sandwich from Peckham’s American diner-inspired spot Larry’s is large and in charge. Crisp and craggly Turkey breast schnitzel comes sandwiched in light and airy focaccia alongside an acid mixture of sprout top Kimchi, fermented cranberry umeboshi ketchup, mustard mayo, and melted cheese that gives the whole thing a lively brio. Like umami? You’re gonna love this." - Lucas Oakeley
We came to the National Portrait Galery and brunch at Larry's. Andrea was our server and she was delightful and very accommodating. The brunch was amazing and what followed went beyond our expectations. I had tbe award winning McBean's Dirty Martini and a Lemmington Party (mini cake desert). My daughter had a lovely cheesecake and a raspberry cooler. Excellent treat for a mother and daughter out in London. Thanks Andreea! X

After an enjoyable afternoon viewing the exhibits at The National Portrait Gallery my wife, her cousin and I decided to have lunch at Larry’s.
Right away we were greeted by our server Marko who went above and beyond to help with our choices on the menu.
He was very pleasant and friendly on top of providing us with excellent service throughout the meal.
I was pleased to see for dessert a plate of assorted Lamingtons just what I needed in preparation for our trip to Sydney in November.
They were excellent!

We ordered the £30 three course set menu for lunch. The club sandwich, the beef short rib, and the desserts are all great. Great atmosphere and seating. The service is also top notch. It's great value. A hidden jewel in central London.

Such a lovely little restaurant right inside the the national portrait gallery. If you need a little sit down after taking in all the art, do pop down and visit. They have a great on for lunch time from 12-4 so doesn’t break the bank. And the decor is lush as well! Will definitely come again!

Great spontaneous drinks and dinner, totally satisfied with it. Great sharing foods, nice jazz music and cool setting under the gallery makes it a secret gem. Friendly staff also helped - our lady Andreea very quick and noticed when I needed a wine or cocktail 🍸

Great value for 2 or 3 courses at lunch. Food and cocktails were great, service was also fantastic (on the bill it said I was served by Angie).
