Opera Tavern Menu

Opera Tavern is a tapas bar and restaurant at 23 Catherine Street in Covent Garden. Set among the theatres of London’s West End, it combines a lively ground-floor bar and counter with a warmer first-floor dining room, making it well suited to meals around a performance.

The kitchen draws equally on Spain and Italy, turning seasonal ingredients into small plates designed for sharing. Croquetas, patatas bravas and food from the grill sit within a broader selection that lets a table move between familiar tapas and more individual combinations.

Sharing gives diners control over the pace of the meal: a few plates can form a quick lunch, while a larger sequence creates a full dinner. Pre-theatre and group menus add structure when timing or party size matters, and the upstairs room can be used for private dining.

An extensive wine list accompanies the food, supported by spritzes and other regionally inspired seasonal drinks. The central location and all-day opening make the restaurant useful for lunch as well as an evening visit. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should discuss the current menu with staff before ordering.
