Barrafina Drury Lane

Barrafina at 43 Drury Lane in Covent Garden WC2 is the third of the Hart brothers' Michelin-starred Spanish tapas restaurants. Hot Dinners calls it the group's most comfortable branch for outdoor dining: the wraparound terrace makes it "the best in the group for alfresco dining." Like its siblings on Frith Street and Dean Street, Barrafina Drury Lane serves authentic Spanish tapas at a marble counter: tortilla española, croquetas de jamón, gambas rojas, milk-fed lamb sweetbreads, Cantabrian anchovies and razor clams. The menu changes daily. Drury Lane puts the restaurant at the centre of London's theatreland — the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and the Royal Opera House are both within a two-minute walk. The walk-in and reservation policy operates across all Barrafina sites.
