I have been here several times, although have never sat inside. I have always been in the courtyard, as that is where the entertainment is to be found. Quite frankly, while the food is OK, the real draw to this place, and one that keeps bringing me back, is the regular performances by operatic singers who sing wonderfully while one is munching one’s baguette and sipping one’s Pinot Grigio. It is also a great place to rest between shopping bouts and just relax and be seranaded.
Prices are not unreasonable and you can eat a snack and have a glass of wine for about a tenner. The place is an obvious draw for tourists and shoppers – and why not, it has more to offer than many similar establishments.
I recommend this place.

a nice relaxed atmosphere with good food and wine. we shared a starter of chicken liver pate which was lovely and for our mains i had sea bass with puy lentils and my friend had duck breast with fenil with a bottle of wine the bill came to £60, fairly priced for London and sizes of meals. i would go back!
Situated right in the middle of Covent Garden and with seating outside in the courtyard this is a great place to enjoy a bottle of wine or two while watching the world go by. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, and considering the location it’s not over pricey.
Hi,
We had dinner with 8 persons/4 couples from the netherlands and had a wonderful time. Very good food and a great atmosphere. We had the 3 course dinner special for GBP 18,- (plus some extra charges)
The very talented and professional service (women first, no need to ask for whom an order is, etc.) makes it a night to remember.
The relation between price and quality is very very good, even when you take the optional extra charges into consideration.
I would definitely go back or advise others to go here.

I’ve been in Covent Garden many times but never really noticed this place. We sat out in the outside area with a bottle of wine or three and some mediterranean style sharing plate and spent a very nice afternoon watching all the opera and classical buskers. It did get very busy but we never had to wait that long at the bar and they had a really good selection of wines. No beer tho!! It’s like an old wine cellar inside with lots of little nooks and crannys which I bet is fantastic in the winter but it was a bit too warm for us this time! Not the cheapest place in Covent Garden but definitely worth it for the atmosphere and the location!
