A little corner of Lecce in Covent Garden Italy’s culinary landscape is incredibly diverse, with each region boasting unique ingredients, dishes, and cooking techniques. From the hearty pasta dishes of the north to the seafood-focused cuisine of the south, each region offers a distinct culinary experience. As one Italian told me, you will find every […]
Balthazar Bistro – Covent Garden
Timeless Bistro Classic in Covent Garden There are places in London that seem to have been there forever. Balthazar is one of those – a classic, French-style bistro that if you had to guess you might believe opened a hundred or so years ago. In reality, it’s quite a baby, the younger sister of the […]
Paro Restaurant – Review
From Calcutta to Covent Garden Restaurateur, Niaz Caan, is not one to rest on his laurels. Earlier this year he published his first cookbook which I was able to review after enjoying lunch at his award-winning restaurant in Brick Lane, City Spice. Now Caan has opened a second eatery located in the heart of Covent […]
Notto Covent Garden
Perfect Pasta in Covent Garden In the ever-popular setting of Covent Garden restaurants come and go seemingly daily. I, for one, hope that Notto, the second pasta restaurant from Phil Howard and Julian Dyer, beds in and becomes a fixture.

El Ta’koy, Hawaiian Restaurant in Covent Garden
Treat Yourself to FREE Halloween Shots and Delicious Food at Covent Garden With the friendliness of its service staff, the website-claimed ‘spirit of Aloha’ certainly shone through at this intimate spot in Covent Garden. 3 Henrietta Street’s creamy exterior does not belie the Hawaiian street food restaurant within, but once you have descended the stairway […]
Lunch at Pivot – Covent Garden
A healthy lunchtime feast in Covent Garden In a busy part of London like Covent Garden, it surprises me that there are not queues out of the door for Pivot Bistro and Bar. 3 Henrietta Street, the home of Pivot and a couple of other restaurants, is right by the Market and I suspect that, […]
Le Garrick – Classic London Restaurant
A Covent Garden favourite – Le Garrick still offers great bistro classics. If you are visiting London for the first time, picking restaurants that have stood the test of time can be challenging. The shabby chic trend together with the very fabric of London buildings, many of which are hundreds of years old means that […]
