Restaurant description
A hidden gem surrounded by the shops and theatres of Covent Garden, Joe Allen is a highly regarded restaurant serving a selection of American and European specialities.
Ideally located for a pre-theatre meal or for dinner after the show, nearby theatres include The Lyceum, Novello Theatre and Duchess Theatre, as well as the Fortune Theatre and Theatre Royal. Joe Allen is also a great destination for a special brunch, lunch or dinner when shopping or staying in one of the hotels around Covent Garden and on the Strand.
Opened in 1977 as a stylish London dining venue for theatre-goers, artists, journalists and performers alike, Joe Allen has a relaxed, casual feel throughout. Today the healthy cuisine and friendly atmosphere attract an eclectic clientele of the West End's young and trendy crowd, romantic couples and families.

Lovely ambience. Great choice on the set menu and good value. Loved the bar steak and the black bean soup was delicious. Staff were polite and nothing was too much trouble .

We had food from the set menu. The quality of the food was fine and it was reasonable value for money. Nothing was outstanding but nothing was poor.

A very poor dining experience. Food extremely average. Staff great. Location for theatres on the Strand and to Covent Garden, great, but really not worth the poor cooking. Find somewhere else.

Excellent light meal in the evening. great service, cheerful staff, good Pinot Noir. A noisy hen party nearby was a distraction and would like next time to book in the "pit" Haven't been since your move but loved coming frequently to the original restaurant from 1977 until it closed Will come again when in London
