Covent Garden is one of London’s top culinary hotspots. From high-end restaurants to street food, there’s something for every palate. Here’s a guide for foodies who want to experience the best bites in the area.
Breakfast:
Kick things off at Grind, a stylish café serving flat whites and avocado toast. Or try Avobar for a health-conscious start to your day.
Mid-morning Snack:
Wander over to Apple Market and grab a pastry from Ladurée or a hot chocolate from Hotel Chocolat.
Lunch:
For something quick and delicious, try Hawksmoor Seven Dials for a burger, or Barrafina for Spanish tapas.
Vegans will love Wild Food Café in Neal’s Yard.
Afternoon Drinks:
Stop by The Alchemist for creative cocktails, or sip wine in the cozy Lady of the Grapes wine bar.

Covent Garden shines at dinner time. Dine at Clos Maggiore, often voted London’s most romantic restaurant, or enjoy French cuisine at Balthazar.
If you want something more laid-back, head to Temper for smoked meats and tacos.
