Flesh & Buns Covent Garden brings the spirit of a Japanese izakaya to an atmospheric basement beneath Seven Dials. The restaurant is lively and sociable, encouraging guests to share food, explore different flavours and let the meal unfold over several rounds. Its Earlham Street location is convenient for Covent Garden, Soho and the surrounding theatres, yet the underground dining room feels removed from the busy streets above.

The menu begins with small plates, grilled skewers and raw dishes that are designed to move around the table. Sushi, sashimi, ceviche, fried dishes and vegetables combine Japanese techniques with bold contemporary seasoning. This range allows a group to balance rich, crisp and fresh flavours before the larger plates arrive.

The restaurant’s signature experience pairs soft handmade bao buns with fillings such as fried chicken, duck, pork, beef, salmon, aubergine or oyster mushroom. Pickles, miso, chilli and sweet savoury sauces add contrast, and diners assemble each bun at the table. The format is playful and generous, turning the main course into a shared part of the occasion.

Sake, Japanese whisky, cocktails, beer and wine support the izakaya style, while tasting menus and weekend brunch give diners structured ways to explore the kitchen. Larger tables and group options suit celebrations as well as casual meals with friends. Flesh & Buns also has an Oxford Circus restaurant, but this is the original Covent Garden branch at 41 Earlham Street.

Address: 41 Earlham Street, Seven Dials, London WC2H 9LX, United Kingdom
