Brasserie Blanc Covent Garden

"When I was first in London I walked into Covent Garden and saw this magnificent restaurant up above the piazza looking like a birthday cake in the middle of the market. I dreamed then of working in that restaurant - who would have known that all these years later my dream (and more) would come true." Raymond Blanc

Located directly opposite the famous Royal Opera House, this is an airy and spacious brasserie with daylight flooding through into the bar and restaurant.

Walk up the stairs from the bustle of Covent Garden and enter a world of French charm in one of Raymond Blanc's newest brasseries. The food is authentically French - simple, delicious and freshly prepared using seasonal ingredients. Alongside the extensive a la carte menu there is a £14 two-course pre-theatre menu created by Raymond Blanc and ideal if you are visiting one of the shows nearby.

The brasserie has a huge terrace overlooking the piazza for dining and drinking plus a large bar ' Bar Blanc ' specialising in cocktails and with its own bar menu at lunch time. On the ground floor you'll find the Brasserie Blanc Creperie, serving authentic French crepes to eat in or take-away

For something completely different, hire Little B at Opera Terrace - an opulent room decorated with murals and with its own private bar - suitable for drinks for up to 30 people.
