Covent Garden

West End

Covent Garden is a splendid botanical-themed bar and eatery with tropical rear garden in a colonial West End shop.

The plant-filled oasis in the midst of bustling Boundary St specialises in gin and gin cocktails, with the house signature the G + High Tea – a 3-tier stand of savoury bar snacks and sweet delicacies served with a watering can of gin cocktail.

Patrons can take a seat in the lush rear garden - where there’s a cute cubby house bar, surrounded by staghorns, bamboo and fairylit frangipani tree, upstairs in the English parlour style lounge with balcony overlooking the street or perched on a stool in the front bar watching the West End street life go by.

Aside from the high tea there’s plenty of other reasons to dine here, with a delectable menu of top quality, yet casual dishes designed to share. Small starters include chipotle chicken taco, manchego croquette and the must-try swordfish kebab.
