Sarastro sits on Drury Lane in Covent Garden, offering a theatrical dining experience in the heart of London’s theatre district. Known as the show after the show, Sarastro blends dining with a sense of performance, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking something out of the ordinary.
The menu leans heavily on Mediterranean and Turkish influences, featuring a mix of meze, grilled dishes, and hearty mains. Expect options like hummus, falafel, and lamb kofta, alongside seafood dishes and vegetarian selections. The menu structure allows for shared plates or individual meals, catering to both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. A set menu is also available, which pairs well with the restaurant’s theatrical theme.
The interior is a spectacle in itself, with opulent décor inspired by opera houses. Ornate balconies, rich fabrics, and theatrical props create a dramatic setting, while live music performances add to the immersive experience. The dining space includes private booths and larger communal tables, making it adaptable for romantic evenings, group celebrations, or pre-theatre meals.
Bookings are recommended, particularly for weekends and evenings. Sarastro also offers private dining options, making it suitable for special events or larger parties.
