  Great Queen Street is a cozy, casual eatery located in the heart of Covent Garden. It is very reminiscent of a standard pub that has tables.Old spot pork and game terrine (5/10) – Average terrine at best. My points against this dish are that I think it’s underseasoned, there is not much textural variation in the terrine itself, and I think the lean to fat ratio was off (not enough fat.)Warm oak smoked eel and Alsace bacon salad (3/10) – This dish suffered from the opposite problem of the terrine. The salad itself seemed sloppily tossed together as the amounts of bacon and eel seemed inconsistent which made splitting this up a chore. The flavors were ok and they would have worked had this not been overly greasy.Suet crusted steak and ale pie for two (7/10) – I quite enjoyed this pie. The crust was well cooked, the meat tender and well seasoned. Certainly the highlight of the meal for me.I think that with the overflowing amount of notable restaurants in Covent Garden that I would not find a reason to revisit Great Queen Street. There are places which do a better take on traditional British cuisine that are certainly better and at a competitive price point. instagram.com

  Recommended as one of the best places to eat at Covent Garden, the Great Queen Street is known for seasonal and hearty British cuisine where reservations is a must due to its perennial popularity. With a non-pretentious menu that relies heavily on fresh produce, it changes daily so you can expect something new every day.Coming in to a full dining room with a 6:30PM reservation, it’s popularity amongst the Londoners are evident. Taking a small table in the middle, we ordered the two dishes that was recommended by our friendly waitress. The roasted hake served with new season’s borlotti beans with a hot anchovy dressing was scrumptious and I happily soaked up the sauce with the complimentary bread. My sister’s baked lemon sole served with a cream prawn bisque was just as nice and we both cleared our plates with ease!We were more than impressed with the food and service from Great Queen Street. The dishes allowed the ingredients to shine and it’s a no-frills sorta menu where edible blooms, unnecessary foam and bite size mains are nowhere to be found. The knowledgable staff can recommend the perfect beverage pairing and despite being swamped with work, they were friendly, attentive and very efficient. The perfect way to end our trip in London! mydiningjourney.wordpress.com
