This fish-and-seafood restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden is a stone’s throw from many of the West End’s theaters, cinemas of Leicester Square and vibrant quarters of Covent Garden and Soho. The Royal Opera House and Coliseum, Palace Theatre, Donmar Warehouse, Wyndham's, Duke of York and Noel Coward Theatres are close by. Founded in 1894, the decor -- a sea of marble, mosaic and lacquered wood panel -- conjures decades of history while the menu offers the finest fish, oysters, shellfish and other assorted seafood. The restaurant is famous for its crusty, creamy, faintly mustardy fish pie, which arrives bubbling at the table.
