Visited for a friend’s birthday and we had an excellent time. The 2 courses for 24 is exceptional value and the food was amazing. The staff were very attentive and even celebrated my friend’s birthday with complimentary chocolates. Thank you so much!

A gem of a place for a casual, friendly and delicious working lunch. I met a client in the vast space of the Paul Hamlyn Hall for a quick meeting against the fabulous backdrop of the huge glass dome. The Piazza restaurant didn't disappoint. Fresh, seasonal well-priced set lunch menu, a fantastic Rose wine and friendly and welcoming service. It was a delight, I will be back!

This is a much more convivial space to eat than the Paul Hamlyn Hall and a broader menu. I think the portions are generous and the food is delicious and clearly freshly cooked to order. It’s entirely possible to have just a started and come back at the interval for pudding. The wine is the same price as most similar restaurants with half bottles available. Amazing views and friendly service. It’s the perfect base for seeing a ballet.

Located on the 5 th floor, it’s up the escalator or the loft. The restaurant is either the indoor section or the outdoor terrace with glass windows that open so it doesn’t get too hot. There is a Monday-Friday lunchtime menu for jock is very good value for money. Nice bird eye view of the piazza in Covent Garden. Amazing value three course meal. The artichoke salad was excellent as was the sea bream with a lovely chowder. The hazelnut choux pastry also wonderful. Good service.

Fantastic lunch for husbands birthday. Lunch 2 courses 24, 3 courses 32. Wine is quite pricey, but it's London. Waitress was lovely and friendly and brought over chocolate for my husband which was a nice touch. Would definitely go again.

Wonderful hidden plant filled rooftop terrace overlooking Covent Garden on the 5th floor of the Royal Opera House! My friend and I visited with no reservation for drinks. I ordered the vibrant spritz mocktail and my friend ordered London Essence Peach. Great tasting spritz and a nice place for catching up with a friend or people watching

Great lunch menu. Definitely need a reservation if you want to sit in the semi outside area. Sitting inside for me was a great experience. Relaxed & less crowded. Perfect.
