Downstairs sitting area
Johana C.

New kid on the block! Since this is close to my work, I decided to come here for a quick lunch and I was very pleasantly surprised. Great options (though not very cheap) as well as healthy and locally sourced ingredients is always appreciated. I can definitely see Farmstand becoming popular and hopefully the menu will keep changing seasonally. I also have to point out that they do have Workshop coffee :) and although they didn't have soy milk - almond milk was another great option. Definitely will be coming back for more :)

Banana bread, blueberry muffin, and almond cream.

Great hidden find close by all the major tourist hotspots. Healthy and fresh, perfect for all dietary restrictions, and no wait!!!! I would highly recommend to anyone looking to cater for a gluten free, nut free, or vegan friend. If you're looking for some modern London fare without the added cost or wait, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Top: berry and granola porridge, bottom: apple and ginger porridge
Alyssa P.

Cute place near Holborn station and right near Covent Garden. Not at all touristy in the morning and some of the best quick breakfast prices I've seen in London! A solid portion of their menu is vegan as well, which my friend and I really appreciated. We got the apple and ginger compote coconut porridge and the berry compote and granola porridge. Both were good, especially for the cheap cheap price of £2.75. And not too sweet!! We also got the latte and English breakfast tea. Both were nice, obviously not a place that specializes in coffee but the atmosphere and porridge make up for it complete. All in all, would recommend if you want a quick breakfast somewhere that's not packed with tourists, especially on a weekday morning.

Not worth 7.50 for lunch. You receive a very small portion for what you pay, and it is not particularly tasty either. Comparable to Leon, Leon is much better tasting and a better value.

Shakshuka with spinach
Michael T.

Had a bowl of rolled oats porridge which was good with the coconut yoghurt. Also had the shakshuka with poached egg and spinach. Second poached egg I've had in London which was overcooked - inside it was almost hard-boiled! Now I'm thinking that's how they cook a poached egg here. Clean, nice place with a small back room and downstairs, both with tables.

Shakshuka. Certainly not what I imagine i'd be getting

Our group came in at about 9.30am, seems like they weren't ready or understaffed for the breakfast crowd. Ordered shakshuka and got the meal with hard boiled egg.. didn't quite expected that. Another one ordered smashed avocado with egg, it came with literally just that (smashed avocado and boiled egg). I guess i didnt expect the food to lack imagination judging from the branding and photos on the net. So nope, this place isn't for me.

Vegetarian dinner box that I picked out: fava/cauliflower salad, glazed carrots with cinnamon, lentils with mushrooms
Marios F.

Healthy, environmentally-conscious, friendly staff, great for takeaway, ambience a little awkward for eating in, fairly priced. This restaurant newly opened, and I love the awareness it brings to the neighborhood regarding healthy eating, environmental impact and local sourcing. It's a thoughtfully put together place and lets you bring mindfulness to takeaway. The staff are quite friendly and helpful in explaining what to pick out for the meal box. There are fridges with some food options, as well as the box option where you pick out three dishes (hot and/or cold). Food tastes good and is of nice, fresh quality, in-season vegetables, creative recipes. I was a bit underwhelmed by the fava salad - interesting flavors but the fava brand themselves were undercooked / a bit chewy rather than soft. Otherwise I really liked the warm glazed carrots with cinnamon and the mushroom / lentil dish. Have also has the ginger coconut water (refreshing) and the carrot-nut muffin (tasty, if not amazingly exciting or creative flavors as the rest of the menu). I've sat in twice, once for an afternoon juice & muffin in the back room, once for a dinner meal at the tables in the front. While I like the aesthetic of the walls and lighting, there's something a bit awkward / maybe cold about the vibe. Could be that the stools / high table in the backroom are too high, or the tables in the front room are directly behind the refrigerator. Something a little off putting, which makes it definitely feel takeaway. It's pretty fairly priced for the quality food they provide - was £7.50 for a dinner meal, sit down. They don't do student discounts but have a loyalty card. Oh also, almost entirely gluten free! Highlights thus far: bubbly water on tap (have as much as you like!) and the lentils & mushroom dish.

Avocado toast

California flavors at the heart of Covent Garden. Loved the fresh and delicious options as well as the friendly service

Met some friends for an afternoon lunch and it turned out that all four of us ordered the same…read moreeggplant entree. Service, menu selection, ambiance and food presentation along with taste were superb. It was a very pleasant afternoon.

Another beautiful find, this one requires a shout-out to a gluten intolerant friend of mine (big up…read morethe allergies!) We were meeting up as a group of 5 old uni friend and were looking for suitable places somewhere fairly central. We hit upon this little gem that does 50% off food Monday - Friday 7pm - 9:45pm. WIN And they said they could cater for all diets so we went along. This little underground bar & restaurant seats maximum 50 people and was nicely full (we made a reservation just to be sure) on a Tuesday night, so that's a good sign to start with! Really friendly staff who were so helpful about the allergies and generally recommending dishes to us, you can't fault the service here. Based down the road from the Monument, we rocked surrounded by city workers in full suits heading for the nearest pub (I suppose their jobs must be pretty stressful!). We sat down to bread and oil/ balsamic vinegar, always a nice touch whe you don't have to ask for that. They unfortauntely had just run out of gluten-free bread, shame. We had a couple of bottle of wines, sampling the red and white varieties. I'm normally a white drinker, but I actually preferred the red this time, very mellow and soft (the white was a touch more tart). You have to have at least 2 courses to get the deal of 50% off so we opted for starter & main, thinking that the pudding stomach would kick in anyway so we could have it too (got to love that pudding stomach!) I went for tuna carpaccio with dill creme fraiche and a caper dressing, followed by Lamb shank off the bone with corainder and carrot puy lentils. They were both delicious! The tuna could have been seared a touch more but was beautifully thin and tasty. The lamb, well that was incredible! Melt in your mouth soft and packed with juices and flavour that were just soaked up by the lentil mix. Friends had wood pigeon, veal, guinea fowl aplenty and all were uttering those same delicious yummy sounds that I was. So much so that the pudding stomach was not needed this time, super full! Then the bill came and it was a measly £25 including service charge (which we were more than happy to pay!). I will be back here very soon. Excellent

We came here since the big boss was in town. This was my first visit and our seating area wasn't…read morethe best (we sat in the bar area) but the views were great and the food wasn't too bad either. 3/5 Corn ribs - never had a corn rib before. Good, a bit sweet. Messy to eat. 3/5 Truffle fries - good but average 4/5 Polenta - very tasty, a must. 3/5 Duck and waffle - I expected this to be bigger but it was good. I normally prefer chicken but the duck wasn't bad. All the food was decent and the staff were all nice. It's unfortunate that the walk to the restaurant passes by the smelly toilets. Also there was only one lift working that day so it took a little time to get up/down.

I've been looking forward to visiting Duck & Waffle for quite some time. The views are incredible,…read morethe space itself is striking, and on paper it promises that perfect London mix of skyline, late-night energy, and elevated comfort food. Unfortunately, our experience was soured before it even had a chance to begin. My girlfriend and I walked in excited, completely amicable, simply hoping to head upstairs for a bite and drinks. We were greeted by the doorman with an immediate, dismissive "Are you good?" -- not in a welcoming or helpful tone, but in a way that felt skeptical and unnecessarily confrontational. There was no warmth, no "welcome in," no attempt at hospitality. It immediately set an uncomfortable tone. He then proceeded to call upstairs as though he were doing us some sort of favor just by allowing us to go up. The entire interaction felt transactional and judgmental rather than gracious. First impressions matter, especially at a place that positions itself as a premium dining destination. Hospitality begins at the door, not at the table. When we finally made it upstairs, the room was filled with visibly drunk, rowdy groups -- which only made the earlier attitude feel even more misplaced. If that environment is acceptable (and profitable), then two polite guests looking for drinks and food shouldn't be met with suspicion at the entrance. By that point, the damage was done. The initial interaction had already rubbed us the wrong way, and the energy upstairs didn't help. We ultimately decided to leave before even sitting at our table. That's how strongly the first impression impacted us. It's difficult to justify staying somewhere when you don't feel genuinely welcomed from the outset. Duck & Waffle has the potential to be memorable for all the right reasons. But someone representing the brand at the very front needs to understand that hospitality isn't optional -- it's foundational. A simple, respectful welcome would have changed everything. I hope management takes this seriously, because no guest should feel judged or dismissed before they even step inside.

The food is decent - I always seem to get something disappointing, but it's moderately good. It feels like it's getting more expensive though, as my husband and I spent £12 and 15 (respectively) the other night, and it wasn't exactly piled high (I was still slightly hungry afterwards), and that was without drinks, bread, or dessert. They also have changed dinner drinks ordering to where they give you a plastic card as your tab. You weigh your plates at the till as normal, but instead of ordering drinks there, you have to do so at your table. (They won't even let you order at the till - they instruct you to go back and order from the table.) It's needlessly complicated for something that should be a simple concept.

Finding Tibits was exciting since they had a huge selection of items we could both eat and the food was delicious! I was so thrilled to have so many options that I filled two plates and finished them both! My husband and I returned the following night for more! If you have food allergies you will be excited at the spread at this restaurant. If you don't have food allergies or restrictions, you will be surprised at the amazing flavors the restaurant has evoked from the food! My biggest revelation here was the "egg" salad. I have an egg allergy and haven't touched egg in about 10 years. Egg salad is one of those things that I really miss and Tibits nailed the flavor and texture. They used a spice I hadn't heard of prior (Kala Namak) to get the sulfurous flavor of the egg and it was spot on!

It is a farmer's type market with some prepared foods, which were top notch. We walked the entire thing and grabbed as much as we could to eat.

There was also another stand that had fruit in a cup with chocolate.Our best deal were some arepas that were half off because it was closing time and they wanted to get rid of them.
