Eating in London

[warren182]

After a decent place to eat pre-theatre, near covent garden. Any recommendations?

Found a very good Turkish restaurant (smart, not bad prices, extensive menu) just over the way from the Ivor Novello Theatre a few weeks back.

Inamo in Soho - Touch screen tables...soo good

I'm a big fan of Belgo. Great moules & frittes, steaks, lobster ( when the lobsterfest is on ) , about 50 beers etc...

Wahaca is pretty decent but not the kind of place you'd go if you're expecting an elaborate meal pre-theatre. It's what I'd describe as "easy going" eating but generally good.

What kind of food do you want? There are literally thousands of places around there. Well, almost.

Ditto, lovely moules & beers!

Le Garrick was also quite nice but again more of a "supper" feel than an elaborate dinner.

One of the better London French restaurants on Monmouth street, about 3 minutes walk at most from Covent Garden tube, an is reasonably priced, for London.

Their pre-theatre menu is even better value.

Incognico for a nice French, Shaftesbury Ave.

Worked out £25 for starter, meal, desert and drink...bare in mind that it doesn't fill you up much, I could have eaten 2 mains,

Thanks for all the replies, going to attack google now

If you fancy some asian-fusion food Tamarai is a bit different, it's on Drury Lane. Maybe not perfect for pre-theatre, but you never know.

You could do worse than going to Chez Gerard - http://www.chezgerard.com/restaurants.asp which is based in Covent Garden.

Very good value if you catch their special offer (3 courses + champage for £25) and don't go crazy on the wine.

Cote on Wardour St is pretty good, although a little bit of a walk away.

Fire and Stone is an interesting pizza place, but can be hit and miss with regards to the quality. Have a look on restaurants websites, as loads have theatre menu offers on.
