La Perla (11 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 1RQ) A real surprise in Covent Garden, great cocktail menu, Happy Hour is great value for money as well. The frozen margaritas are pre-made, but the margaritas on the rocks are individually made, and well made. Service in the bar can be mixed, but in the restaurant cannot be faulted. Restaurant is small, as the kitchen is open plan, so booking is essential. Food can be a little slow, again as it is open plan and small, so expect to take your time and enjoy the drinks. The food is also very good, the chicken wings are the best I have ever had, the fajita's are also huge portions so come early.
