The Delaunay - (Near Westminster, london)

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.

Vee Lei 2 of us had 2 cocktails, a starter to shared, 2 mains and 2 desserts. Came up to +£100 I would love to take another friend to eat there again. Food looked good, tasted fabulous, left there with my belly full. So close to my work, I think I will be there very soon!

Bleubirdy99 We made bookings for £15 Steak Frites, where is happening for the whole of January, the steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce went so well with everything.The other meal that we ordered was lunch and theatre 3 course meal, I liked everything that we ordered expect for the salmon starters which tasted like canned tuna and it was also very salty for our liking. The only negative part about the restaurant is that the tables are all packed close together.

Alessandra Scotti We had a wonderful experience at Vasinikò. Despite it being a busy Saturday evening and us arriving without a booking, they still managed to find us a table straight away. I mentioned that I was feeling a bit cold, and they immediately adjusted the air-conditioning so it wouldn’t blow directly on me — such thoughtful service. I ordered a gluten‑free Margherita and it was absolutely outstanding. The tomato sauce was excellent quality: sweet, rich, and full of flavour. The pizza base was honestly the best gluten‑free one I’ve ever had — soft, elastic, light, and not heavy at all. You could really taste the quality of the extra virgin olive oil, and the fresh basil on top made it perfect. The service throughout the evening was courteous, quick, and genuinely caring. Our waiter checked on us often and made sure we were comfortable and happy. Overall, it was a really lovely experience. I would definitely recommend Vasinikò, especially if you need or prefer gluten‑free options.

Tim Danton Ive just spent a fantastic evening here. Fantastic food from start to finish, excellent service and the atmosphere down in the basement was a lot of fun -almost like being at a party as it was so relaxed. We skipped the starters and dived straight into the main course - perfectly cooked pasta, tasty sauces, great presentation. The wine was top quality and excellent value, but it was the desserts that made the evening. Congratulations to everyone involved. We had to wait 30 minutes for a place at the bar, but it was so worth it.
