Opera Tavern in City of London, Westminster

Aaron is very friendly his boss is not that friendly, Aaron is a one of a kind!

Francesca and josé were amazing. So attentive and brilliant service. Will definitely be back!!!!

Amazing food, specifically Francesca was incredible with the service. Thank you!

Francesca was absolutely fantastic. Food was superb and we had a great time all round. Thank you so much.

Lea and Alejandro are both wonderful people, they hosted us, sang happy birthday and went above and beyond to look after us, I would defo recommend this place to friends and familub

Amazing food and amazing service from Alejandro, Leah and Richie on the bar. Quite blown away from the quality, the flavour and the presentation of everything. If you’re looking for something new and refreshing this is a must try. I highly suggest the pork belly and the pan fried cod which we tried they are truly to die for!

Leah was fantastic. Very attentive and prompt and polite.

Had a really good night for my birthday, amazing service via Alejandro as we sat on the bar. He recommended his favourites and so we took the pork belly. Leah also made sure we had everything on point. She is was lovely. Pork belly was devine & works perfectly if you have a sweet tooth while the cod was tender & completed nicely by the mushroom Will return for sure

Each dish was expertly cooked and beautifully presented by the chef Pavlos. Every bite was a delight, and the service was outstanding. The staff particularly Alex was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we felt welcomed and cared for throughout our meal. Thank you!

We had an amazing dinner on a Monday evening! Pavlos the head chef has done a really good job, all the plates were tasty and well presented! Also Alex the bartender very kind and knowledgeable! Will definitely come back! Highly recommended!!

Theatre show and pre-show lunch to celebrate a birthday. We were quite early but were warmly welcomed with a smile and shown to our table. The food was excellent - freshly prepared and very tasty. The service was outstanding from Leah. Very attentive and efficient but didn’t rush us. In the end we were glad we were early and could both enjoy 3 courses. My wife was even given a complimentary birthday dessert as I had mentioned the special occasion when booking. A nice touch. The service and food were wonderful and the ambiance made it a very enjoyable pre show treat. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere, the staff were brilliant and the food was outstanding. We arrived without a booking, they were more than happy to accommodate us.

Francesca made out party very welcome with a beautiful smile and quick and efficient service we all had a great evening 😁

Oliver is brilliant! Amazing cocktails!

Francesca was an incredibly attentive and considerate waitress. Cannot reccomend enough!

Francesca was fantastic host, the place has friendly vibes

Food was great, service was excellent. Atmosphere was affected by staff-training being conducted in the restaurant during opening hours. Was intrusive enough to have to ask if we could be moved to a different table - which, to be fair, we were.

Fran made our dining experience exceptional here. Food, atmosphere and service was great. Will definitely be visiting here again.

Fantastic dining and great cozy romantic atmosphere. Waiter Aaron took good care of us.

We had our dinner last night. Excellent service by Aaron.

It was a lovely dinner. Aaron was very nice, helpful and welcoming. The food was great as well, particularly the braised ox cheeks with white mushrooms and mash. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend it

Great food and people were very friendly! We'll be back soon

Great food at a great price, José was very helpful.

Excellent service and the food is delicious.

Lovely dinner. Food was delicious and the service superb - Aaron in particular couldn’t have been more helpful.

Quick and amazing service by Aaron. Food was delicious.

Lovely place, chilled atmosphere, great service by Aaron, really good food, the ox cheek was stunning!

Excellent service, great drinks, delicious food in ideal portions. Buzzy, stylish and friendly atmosphere

Wonderful food loved the idea of sharing plates as it goes us more to try. Thanks for the extra item for my wife's birthday.

Gabi was so friendky and gave amazing recommendations. portion sizes were perfect

Delicious and great hosting by Leah and Gabby!

Wonderful first time at Opera Tavern and we had an amazing waiter called Jose! Made our evening xx

Phenomenal experience at the OPERA TAVERN! Would like to say a massive thank you to all the OPERA staff and chefs. The food and service at the restaurant is commendable, every dish we ordered was just amazing. Looking forward to going back soon! The food and service at this restaurant is always 10/10. I couldn't fault anything. I highly recommend 😁

Incredible tasting food, super friendly service, will definitely be coming back again!

Leah was so kind and welcoming, service was timely and the food sensational

Great food and very attentive service from Aaron

The food and service was quick by Aaron. Amazing experience, we will be back soon

Had the set menu, but the chef was kind enough to let me swap out the churros for tiramisu. I recommend ordering some bread to soak up some of the delish oils with the prawns and tomato dishes! Everything on the set menu was excellent and I recommend anyone to go. Overall it was exceptional value

Good and service are superd. Aaron was very professional and attentatative.

Great food and service, and perfectly situated on a cool block on the edge of the theater district. Highly recommended.

What a lovely establishment, visiting London for the weekend for the ballet. Aaron the waiter was extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable about the tapas and wine selections. We had a verity of tapas, along with a few wines. Great place would highly recommend.

Lovely experience, great food and amazing service. Aaron our waiter was very helpful

Incredible restaurant, Fran and Ollie were so nice and good people to talk to. Only thing is their octopus left me more to desire.

We were on our first visit to London, we were served by Aaron, who was very kind and helped us.

Just a few blocks from the National Theater and several other venues. Cute, cozy, warm establishment (although it can be loud if there is a lively table nearby). Exceptional service-- Richard knows the menu and made some amazing recommendations including the artichoke dish and the ceviche. The food is cooked and seasoned to perfection... kudos to Pavlin the chef! Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience and I would visit here again when in London.

Great food,great atmosphere and Leah was excellent understanding and supporting my coeliac needs!!!

Fantastic place with great food. Aaron was lightning quick and really professional.

Aaron was awesome! Loved the food and the ambiance. Very informative and friendly server & great food! Def recommend.

Amazing food and service! Lea was incredible would definitely recommend

We were served by the lovely Leah .what a treat to have someone so jolly . She was just fabulous

Good food and good atmosphere, Aaron really made the experience wholesome

The service was exceptional from Jose, however the food left more to be desired!

It's right in front of Mamma Mia Musical Theater. The atmosphere was nice and the servers were very friendly. There was a variety of food and it was all delicious! The portion size per dish is small, so it's best to order several. Wine bottles start at £33 for the cheapest.

Aaron was our waiter, excellent service

Went here a couple of days ago and will happily come back. We were served by Aaron who gave us some great recommendations and looked after us excellently. Great food and prices were reasonable.

Quite possibly the best restaurant in London.. I’m a big foodie who loves good service and a great place to sit and chat with friends over dinner, and the patatas bravas are to die for. This and the aubergine parmigiana were exceptional today! Big thanks to Leah and waiting management for the phenomenal service. We were very well looked after! Have been here repeatedly and will continue to bring all of my friends. Thanks again!!!!

Great food and excellent service @Aaron 💯

Nice little tapas restaurant 2 minutes from Covent Garden and ideal for pre/post theatre supper or drinks. The food is pretty good although the tempura broccoli was a little greasy. The beef main was excellent as were the prawns in garlic. We were a little disappointed to be charged £5.50 for flat bread to soak up the garlic, thought this should be part of the dish as it's needed. Service was excellent with attentive and courteous servers. Not cheap but perhaps I've spent too much time in Spain this year...London prices!

The food was delicious!! The atmosphere was great! The four of us chose Opera Tavern for our first London dinner. We are so glad we did. Aaron was able to guide us on food and wine choices. He made our time at the tavern a wonderful and fun memory!! He’s terrific. We can’t say enough great things about him. 4 Ladies from America

Francesca is a gem! Such a lovely dinner with friends. Highly recommend!

Opera Tavern is an excellent for a pre-theatre dinner. It’s directly across the road from Theatre Royal Drury Lane and close to many other theatres in the area too. Warm, helpful, and friendly service from Aaron and Richie, who guided us through the menu and provided very reasonably priced cocktails. The menu includes small plates of Spanish and Italian influence, all expertly cooked with delicious flavours. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience for pre-show dining. Staff were efficient and polite. Good selection of wines & cocktails. Food choice was very good although I missed the mini burger they had on my previous visit.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great service from Leah. Would recommend!!

We had a great meal before a show. Service from Jose was spot on. Food was very good, nice variety of modern Spanish style dishes. tempura broccoli was a hit, croquettes, buratta.

Nice tapas bar on the edge of theatre land. Great food and the staff were so friendly

What a delightful afternoon of delicious food, a dirty martini and delovely staff!

Great tapas (Italian and Spanish) evening meal here at the weekend. Lovely seating and atmosphere inside and not too busy. Staff were lovely and all the dishes we ordered were great including churros. For next time we would have liked more cheese on the large cheese/charcuterie sharing platter.

A habitual London banger. All around 5 stars, with Francesca being a splendid addition to the staff.

Great food! Fast service and the waitress Francesca was really nice always smiling:)

Great food but the portions were quite small

Relaxed tapas place in a converted pub where food is consistently good and reasonably priced for this part of London. Have been a few times and staff are always welcoming - great service in particular this time from Arun. Only downside is sometimes on weekend nights the music played is a bit loud and out of keeping with the general atmosphere and clientele.

We had the most delicious meal last Friday night. The service by Ritchie was superb. Chef Przemek prepared flawless dishes - tapas style sharing we had - the pork belly, chicken, burrata, tempura broccoli, aubergine and the lamb. It was the best meal we have had during our 8 night stay in London. Thank you!

Leah was lovely. The service for the wine tasting experience was great. Good vibes 🕺

Food nice but pricey and upstairs ambience was poor

It was my first trip to London and we were here last saturday and enjoyed the food, specially the octopus, the recommendations and service was quick by Aaron and we plan to visit y'all soon 😊

Went for the wine tasting and had the pleasure of being served by Leah, excellent parings and service. Couldn’t have felt more welcome, the red at the end was a highlight!

Great wine tasting evening with lovely hosts! Thank you Leah!

Brilliant wine tasting! Lovely pairings too - Leah was fantastic

Nice cosy evening in a beautiful venue, good wine, good food, good vibes. Thanks Leah!

I was with my family last night. Even though it was busy. We enjoyed the all the dishes ordered. Kudos to Aaron for his service and the chefs.

Had a wonderful evening, Leah was incredible. She was attentive and knowledgeable and made us feel really welcome and relaxed. The taster menu was amazing, loved every dish. Will definitely go again.

Amazing friendly service from Leah! Fabulous tasty small plates 😊

Our go-to place before (and after) theatre. Perfect for a glass or two and some bar snacks. Leah looked after us brilliantly.

Great tapas, iberico abanico slaped so good

Leah was great in helping me finding out what’s best Sherry to taste.

Incredible experience from start to end. I have been here several times now and every time it keeps getting better and better. This time I decided to organise our work outing here and everyone was blown away with the food and service. Shall continue to come back time and time again. Thank you Opera Tavern!

Excellent service from Aron, his recommendation for our wine and dishes was much enjoyed.

We had a great time at Opera, Aaron gave us the best recommendations for white wine and the different tapas. Would come back again.

Friendly, fast and attentive service. Little plates are just perfect for light bites or sharing between friends.

We were on a tight schedule, but Aaron got us sorted with stunning efficiency. The small plates were terrific, with inventive formulation and striking presentation. If you have a proper amount of time to spend, I imagine the experience will only improve.

The waiters are perfect, very friendly!

Always a great exoerienc at the Opera Tavern. Food quality was phenomenal especially the pork!

Leah was a very friendly and tentative host thank you!

Aaaron & the lovely young lady were fabulous! Great service & very friendly & polite.

Welcomed when we arrived. Lovely and informative host, and Leah, our server was pleasant and attentive.

Excellent food and great service from Aaron

Jose was great! He walked us through the menu attentively and made us feeling warm and welcome. Leah was also great, good knowledge on wines and grapes

Staff very pleasant. Jose explained the menu and took our order. We couldn't fault the food, drinks and service. Well worth a visit.

Such an amazing experience at Opera Tavern. The food was so yummy and we definitely will be back. Thank you to Richard for looking after us and making our visit lovely.

Amazing food and drinks and exceptional service from Leah! She checked we were ok the whole time, and made sure we had a fabulous time!
