Vinicius Santos A Well-Executed Pre-Theatre Experience at Cora Pearl The décor is relaxed and intimate, complemented by soft background music that creates a warm, understated atmosphere. Expectations were high, especially as Cora Pearl has been ranked by the Michelin Guide as the best pre-theatre dining spot in London. We visited as a family of four and arrived about ten minutes before our pre-theatre reservation; our table was already ready, which was a great start. My parents both chose the three-course pre-theatre menu: potatoes with cod roe to start, pork steak for the main, and the After Eight crémeux for dessert. I had the butternut squash with coconut cream as a starter—the cream was thicker than I expected, but still very rich and delicious—followed by the wild sea bass with Jerusalem artichoke velouté, salsify, and bergamot. Overall, the food was excellent: well executed, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. We shared a bottle of Riesling and I ordered the Cheeky Peach cocktail, as the restaurant is known for its cocktails. Both were enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. The Parmesan fries, however, were outstanding and easily a highlight of the meal. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout, although service did slow down a little during busier moments. That said, it didn’t detract significantly from an otherwise very enjoyable pre-theatre experience.

Kate Reynolds Great eatery. Monk fish was superb as was lamb kofta. We didnt think the chicken tagine was as good. Hugo spritz was delicious but small. Service was very polite and quiet. Gave us plenty of time to catch up. Good supply of water in a jug!

Shine Had very good pre-theatre menu here last night. Very reasonable and although limited choice of starter, main and dessert they were all excellent - salmon starter, minute steak and cheesecake. It is and impressive high ceiling.dining room inside an hotel. Our waiter was great as well.

Ann Kuznetsov 3 of my favourite types of cuisine under 1 roof! Heaven on earth! Their roast chicken was insanely succulent and juicy, their bao buns were the best Ive had in a long time and their pasta, especially the truffle one, was incredible!

Leicester Eats & Sips The Punch and Judy pub in Covent Garden is a real hidden gem with so much history behind it. The pub is named after the famous Punch and Judy shows, which have long been part of Covent Garden’s cultural heritage, and you can really feel that sense of history when you are there. It is part of the Greene King chain, but it does not feel generic at all. The drinks are reasonably priced, especially for such a central London location, and the food looks absolutely delicious. There is also a great selection of beers on offer. One of the highlights is the balcony seating where you can sit, relax and watch the entertainment and atmosphere of Covent Garden below. There is not a huge amount of space on the balcony, but that just adds to its charm. It really feels like a place you would miss unless you know where to look, as it is slightly tucked away and easy to walk past. A brilliant little addition to Covent Garden, especially in the summer, with character, history and good value for money.

Tuxedo Mask One of the best experiences Ive had in London dinning. We were seated quickly despite the crowd and the busy environment. Free popcorn of course and the food arrived within minutes of ordering which was perfect, no long waits. The steak was beautiful and so flavourful. We ordered sides as well and it complimented the steak really well. I would highly recommend ordering the mashed potatoes, honestly one of the best Ive had in a restaurant. The drinks were amazing and overall I was really happy and impressed. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were very attentive to us. And of course, free ice cream at the end. 100% recommend Flat Iron
