Offering a warm and convivial atmosphere, an extensive sharing plates menu and an experienced events team, it’s a fantastic place to host a private dinner with friends, family or colleagues.
The La Scale Room sits upstairs at Opera Tavern, and can be hired for groups of up to 43 seated, or 50 standing. This space boasts exposed brickwork, bold artwork and glowy low lighting creating the perfect atmosphere for an exclusive dinner or standing reception. Those looking for a space to host a business lunch or meeting can make the most of the on-site projector and screens.
There are multiple set menus to choose from when you book a private dinner which include a range of Opera Tavern’s signature dishes which are designed to be shared by the table. This might include padron peppers, jamon croquetas and chargrilled flatbread with confit butter to start, followed by dishes such as yellow fin tuna tartare with avocado puree, pan fried cod with fregola salsa, or octopus carpaccio with puntarella salad. Be sure to finish up your private dinner with tiramisu and pistachios, or churros served with a warm chocolate sauce.
For an extra special touch, why not choose to have wines specially paired with your meal? Or, simply choose your favourite from an extensive wine list, which includes bottles from a range of Spanish and Italian producers. You also have the option to order from a set menu which includes a glass of fizz on arrival, if you’re looking to start the evening with a drinks reception or turn the evening into a proper celebration.
