Spanish tapas near Covent Garden
The advantage of tapas is that the meal can be as short or as long as you want. Start with a few shared plates, see what the table likes and add more if there is no reason to rush.
Try contrasting dishes rather than ordering several similar ones. Gambas al Ajillo, Padrón Peppers, Chorizo al Vino and Croquetas de Jamón give you four different textures and flavours.
Searching for the best restaurant near Covent Garden?
“Best” depends on whether you want a quick meal, a long dinner, a particular cuisine or somewhere that fits around theatre plans. If shared Spanish food and a Soho setting appeal to you, Jamon Jamon is one option to consider.
Covent Garden dinner before the theatre?
The wider Covent Garden and West End area is full of theatres. A focused tapas order lets you eat well without committing to a long meal before a fixed curtain time.
Tapas or paella?
Choose tapas if you want variety and flexibility. Choose paella if you want one larger shared dish. Choose both if dinner is the main part of the evening and you have time to let the meal develop.
Our Tapas or Paella guide explains the difference in more detail.
