Nestled beneath the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus, Brasserie Zédel transforms dining into an enchanting musical journey with live performances every single day of the week. The grand Art Deco brasserie comes alive with the toe-tapping melodies of talented house bands, creating an atmosphere that perfectly captures the spirit of classic European café culture whilst maintaining a distinctly contemporary energy.
Whether seeking an intimate dinner accompanied by gentle piano melodies or a lively weekend celebration with full band entertainment, Brasserie Zédel offers a soundtrack to match every occasion and every day of the week.
The commitment to live music at Brasserie Zédel goes beyond mere entertainment; it's an integral part of the dining experience that honours the grand tradition of European brasseries where music and gastronomy have always been inseparable companions. The venue's swinging house bands perform with a passion and skill that transforms every meal into a special occasion, creating memories that linger long after the final note fades.
Each performance is carefully crafted to complement the brasserie's elegant atmosphere whilst encouraging guests to relax, socialise, and truly savour their time in this magnificent underground sanctuary.
Monday through Wednesday evenings come alive from 7pm to 10:30pm with performances that provide the perfect accompaniment to intimate dinners and midweek celebrations. The music creates a sophisticated backdrop that allows conversation to flow as freely as the excellent wines whilst maintaining the lively energy that defines Brasserie Zédel's character.
Thursdays elevate the experience with performances from 8pm to 11:15pm, extending the musical celebration deeper into the evening. The later timing perfectly suits those seeking to transition from dinner into a proper night out, all within the elegant confines of this subterranean treasure.
Fridays and Saturdays showcase Brasserie Zédel at its most vibrant, with double sessions that cater to both lunch and dinner guests. The afternoon performances from 12:30pm to 3:30pm bring weekend energy to leisurely lunches, whilst the evening shows from 8pm to 11:15pm create the perfect atmosphere for weekend celebrations that deserve a soundtrack worthy of the occasion.
Sundays offer a more relaxed but equally enchanting musical programme, with afternoon performances from 12:30pm to 3:30pm providing the ideal accompaniment to weekend lunches, followed by early evening entertainment from 6pm to 9pm that maintains the weekend spirit without extending too late into Sunday night.

Brasserie Zédel reimagines the spirit of the Golden Age of travel, jazz, and adventure. Its grand brasserie dining, classic cocktail bar, live music venue, and relaxed café are each infused with French flair and artistry. Together, they deliver the essence of Parisian cabaret culture beneath a landmark Grade II listed roof. Built on the site of what was once Europe's largest hotel, Zédel has cultivated an air of underground counter-culture with an elegant twist. Theatre pervades all four spaces, whilst a Gallic sense of democracy runs through everything they do – from their renowned affordable Prix Fixe menu alongside luxurious classics, to their artistic spirit showcasing new, established, and emerging talent. In Bar Américain, they've harnessed adventure and exploration through cocktails and drinks that reflect the constant exchange of ideas between 1920s America and Europe.
