With a stylish ambience and stunning views across Covent Garden piazza from the terrace, the Amphitheatre Restaurant, located within the Royal Opera House, welcomes those ticket holders who'd like a full meal before watching singers perform in the evening, or even during the intermission. If your interest does not lie so much in opera, you could head to the restaurant in the afternoon, either way the setting and the food make for a memorable experience.

Expect to see modern British cooking with a twist, and typical dishes could include Trealy Farm smoked rosemary and thyme ham with remoulade and sour apple purée; roasted cod and pipperade with deep fried quails egg and sauté potatoes, and coq au vin 'en croute' with wild mushrooms and creamed potatoes. If you need to whiz out for dessert during an interval then the green tea and white chocolate gateau with cassis sauce could sooth your taste buds - and perhaps your ears!
