There are two places in Covent Garden synonymous with pre- or post-theatre dining: Sarastro and Joe Allen. While Sarastro is over-the-top and popular with tourists, Joe Allen is a good choice for anyone in the neighbourhood wanting good food served up with their entertainment. Dishes on the frequently-changing menu run the gamut from American (Black Bean Soup, Steak and Fries, Caesar Salad), to British (Calf's Liver on Wilted Spinach) to Italian (Vegetable Lasagne with Escarole and Rocket Pesto). You get the idea. Good food, good wine list, and good beer - bottled and draught. But the buzzy atmosphere and prime location are what has given Joe Allen its reputation. If you visit late, you might even see actors winding down after a show.
