Inca London
Inca London is a dinner-and-show venue on Argyll Street, next to the London Palladium and a few steps from Oxford Circus. It serves South American-inspired dishes while performers work the room, and the night runs late, so think of it as a party with dinner attached.

What to expect
Inca took over the former Movida and Toy Room site, and the club atmosphere is still there: tables have replaced the dancefloor, and immersive live entertainment runs through the evening, with performers coming to tables to interact with diners. It's loud, theatrical and built for groups and celebrations. The venue was founded by Marc Merran and Nathanael Dadoun, and the format leans more towards a night out than a restaurant meal, so plan your evening around it rather than squeezing it in before something else.
The food
The menu draws on South America with a few twists, with dishes such as carabineros prawn ceviche and nachos topped with white crab. It sits at the expensive end of the West End, so treat it as a special-occasion booking rather than a pre-theatre bite. Dinner and show run together.
Planning your night
Inca opens in the evenings from midweek through the weekend and keeps going late. Book ahead, especially for Friday and Saturday. Liberty and Carnaby Street are on the doorstep for earlier in the day, and Soho's bars are a few minutes' walk if you want to carry on.
