• Café • Covent Garden

Booked 4 times today

The Black Penny Covent Garden is a unique cosy café, with bare brick walls, only a stones throw away from Covent Garden. Gourmet brunch is at the heart of what The Black Penny is famous for. Signature dishes include 'The Hunter' & 'The Gatherer', which is our take on the full English breakfast. Other signature dishes include 'Wild Mushroom Polenta Hash', 'Salt Beef' and 'Crispy Duck' hashes (try pairing with some of our fine wines and Penny cocktails). If you fancy something sweet try 'The Brioche French Toast'. Speciality coffee created at the hands of the skilled baristas is what keeps regulars coming back for their daily caffeine fix. In the mornings through lunch you can expect The Black Penny to be a popular go to café. The Black Penny values sustainability, therefore we work closely with London's best companies to ensure we meet these values. We welcome you through our doors each day, so be sure to 'find a penny' soon.

If you're on the fence of whether to try Yakiniku or not, you will not regret taking the plunge. This restuarant has amazingly helpful staff that did not waiver at my crazy guests demanding requests and did not make us feel unwelcome when we clearly stayed past their ordinary closing time. The food was amazing and my gosh Matcha Flavoured Tiramisu?!? Outterworldly good!

Great all round first time experience at L'Oscar. Lovely setting and quality feel to the hotel public areas. Chicken Caesar salad was the best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few! Difficult to find any faults - The only negative was the price of after dinner coffees. (Unnecessarily expensive).
