Situated in the north west corner of Covent Garden Piazza, this little café-bar does a great trade out of the tourists visiting the market, and no doubt soaks up some of the overflow custom from the Rock Garden on the other corner of the parade. Small and somewhat poky inside, with a kind of dilapidated charm, there are plenty of tables on the outdoor terrace which is a popular draw in the summertime as this is prime Piazza people-watching territory. The food will fill a gap if you're hungry after taking in all the stalls, street performers and music makers, but it's nothing to write home about... Choose from sandwiches, soups, pastas and familiar main-course faces, but beware of the location-based mark up in the prices. At least the entertainment is free.
