The Cumberland

Lírica, located within The Cumberland Hotel, is a Spanish-inspired restaurant where each dish is a celebration of rich culinary traditions and bold, fresh flavours. The name “Lírica,” meaning lyrical poetry, reflects the restaurant’s ethos: food and drink in harmony, shared in a space that is both warm and sophisticated. From vibrant sharing plates and tapas, Lírica draws inspiration from the gastronomic bounty of Spain. Guests can enjoy sun-drenched vegetables and heritage tomatoes, Iberico ham, wild mushroom croquetas, and grilled tiger prawns alongside thoughtfully curated drinks including Spanish wines like Valmiñor Albarino and Gómez Cruzado. Each offering is crafted with care, honouring the ingredients, techniques, and artisanal producers behind them, while encouraging a convivial, communal dining experience. With its stylish, relaxed setting tucked away from the bustle of central London, Lírica invites guests to savour not just a meal, but a moment, where the joy of sharing good food, wine, and conversation comes together in perfect harmony.
