The Real Greek Covent Garden is a bright taverna at 60–62 Long Acre in the heart of Theatreland. Close to the Royal Opera House and several West End venues, it brings the sociable style of Greek eating to a lively room suited to lunch, dinner and meals before or after a performance.
Meze encourages the table to share hummus, tzatziki, taramasalata, spicy feta and warm flatbread. Dolmades, spanakopita, courgette fritters, fried kalamari and lamb meatballs add crisp, creamy and savoury contrasts, while Greek salad brings tomatoes, cucumber, olives, oregano and feta together.
Souvlaki grills feature chicken, pork, lamb, halloumi, prawns and vegetables, while wraps layer grilled fillings with flatbread, chips, tomatoes and sauces. Moussaka, vegetable moussaka and pastitsio provide comforting taverna classics, supported by seafood, rice and seasonal dishes designed for sharing.
Greek orange cake and other desserts complete the food, with wine, beer, cocktails and alcohol free drinks available alongside. Lunch and all day menus provide concise ways to order, while vegan, vegetarian and gluten free choices make the restaurant flexible for mixed groups visiting Covent Garden.
