Chez Antoinette Covent Garden is a French bistro at number 30 on the Lower Piazza inside Covent Garden Market. Opened in 2014 as the original Chez Antoinette, it combines antique crockery and carefully chosen furnishings to evoke the warmth of a family table in Lyon.
Breakfast ranges from coffee and pastries to croque madame, eggs and avocado, offering both quick morning choices and more leisurely plates. Later in the day, tartines layer toasted bread with ingredients such as Brie de Meaux, raclette, Morteau sausage and confit onions.
French onion soup, beef bourguignon, roasted vegetables, pâté and charcuterie bring familiar bistro flavours to the all day menu. Seasonal specials and an evening theatre selection provide different ways to dine, while vegetarian dishes ensure the restaurant is not limited to its meat and cheese classics.
French wine, spritzes and apéritifs accompany sharing boards and main courses, followed by homemade cakes and desserts. Afternoon tea and terrace seating on the celebrated piazza add to the experience, whether guests are stopping briefly during a market visit or settling in for dinner.
