Post theatre dining

My wife's 50th birthday in July. So it's opera in Covent Garden and a fantastic meal afterwards. Somewhere like Sketch would be perfect. But we won't get there untill around 11 O'Clock and most top reataurants are finishing. Has anyone any ideas?

David,

Completely agree – it is so hard to find a good meal in London gone 11pm.

However, there are a few options that I would recommend for after the opera. The other thing is that dining at this time means it is so much easier to get a table !

1. J Sheekey – One of the best fish restaurants in town. Open till late and great choice for a special meal. Not too far from ROH so can get there quickly after the opera. I like the atmosphere there around 10.30pm as the restaurant isnt too busy as it can be a little cramped when all the tables are full. Romantic spot too and always has top service.

2. The Ivy – can be a bit cliche going to opera / theatre and then The Ivy but again last orders are not till late and food, service and atmosphere is always good. Probably the least special place that I have recommended in terms of food.

3. Le Caprice – although a bit further away from the opera house, I believe last orders are midnight. Another romantic dining room and they always have a pianist playing. I know it is a special meal, but they do a fantastic pre / post theatre set menu (as well as a la carte) for £16 for two courses.

4. Cecconi's – glam Mayfair Italian and another romantic restaurant. Believe they are open till 1am during the week. Fantastic cichetti (italian tapas) and pasta with fresh truffle.

5. The Wolseley – another great choice for after the theatre. Open till midnight. Favourite for actors after they have performed. Always has great ambience and good menu, especially when eating late as one doesnt always want a full three course meal.

I apologise for four out of the five restaurants belong to the Richard Caring empire but it shows why they are doing so well as they offer great food, service and they stay open for after theatre diners.

Hope that helps

Adam.

That's brilliant thanks. All great choices. Been to Sheeky, loved it obviously but didn't imagine it would be open later. Definitely an answer among one of those.

Thanks
