Thai Square Covent Garden is located at 166–170 Shaftesbury Avenue in the heart of London’s theatre district. Its contemporary dining room is decorated with blossom trees and Thai artefacts, creating a calm and polished setting within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and the surrounding West End venues.
Tom yum soup and som tum salad introduce the menu through lemongrass, lime, chilli, green papaya and aromatic herbs. Mixed starters provide an easy way to sample several tastes together, while soups, salads and smaller plates range from bright and refreshing to rich and warming.
Signature dishes include chu chi sea bass and seafood with lemongrass. Green, red, panang and massaman curries sit beside pad Thai, fried rice, stir fried noodles and wok cooked dishes, with tofu and vegetable preparations providing substantial choices for vegan and vegetarian diners.
A pre theatre menu helps guests dine to a schedule before an evening performance, while larger set menus suit groups who want to share. Wine, cocktails, beer and alcohol free drinks round out the meal, with collection and delivery available alongside restaurant service.
