Polpo Covent Garden

We have been here before pre-theatre and found it to be a nice warm atmosphere with good food (tapas) and wine.

A really nice spot to have a get together with friends and to chat. Food generous enough, tasty enough and decent value for money. Its one of those places that does the job and does it well. Casual, non fussy and easy

Tables very cramped with not enough room for the plates and dishes and with hard uncomfortable chairs. It was very noisy and echoey. The glassware was smudged and looked dirty and was very basic, room and floor also not very clean. He chose some vegetarian dishes, and got a massive plate of rather tasteless roast potatoes with the odd sprig of rosemay and some very ordinary sliced courgettes with rocket and parmesan. Two arancini were soggy. I felt embarrassed having invited him there. The only positive things about the place, I did have a very...

Booked this for a nice long casual lunch before going to the theater. What a gem!! The ambiance was great, chilled and low key. we ate here on a Saturday early afternoon, but it soon filled up and had a queue out of the door waiting to be seated. This is the rustic Italian version of tapas Food was amazing with good portions and enough for 3 to share. Our waiter advised on what would comfortably serve 3 or if we should think about 2 portions.. We found so many wonderful dishes that we couldn 't possibly order and we ended up with a whole veggie selection. As a confirmed meat eater I can say I didn 't feel underwhelmed or unsatisfied. The chickpea 'meat ' balls are to die for (as is the choco... View menu
