London's culinary scene has never been more vibrant, and 2025 was no exception with some highly-anticipated restaurants opening their doors. One such establishment that caught our attention is Stevie Parle's Town in Covent Garden.
Located on the picturesque Drury Lane, this upscale eatery boasts an elegant yet colorful atmosphere that sets it apart from its peers without being too over-the-top. The seating areas offer a diverse range of options for patrons to choose from, but be warned: the crowd can be unpredictable.
The food at Town is nothing short of exceptional, and its emphasis on seasonal and local British ingredients is a refreshing change from the usual fare found in London restaurants. The menu is constantly evolving, but some dishes remain steadfast favorites, including the fried sage leaves and crudo. For steak enthusiasts, Parle's offering won't disappoint – cooked to perfection each time.
Another standout feature of Town is its dayboat fish, which expertly showcases the freshest catch of the day. It was a testament to Parle's dedication to seasonal ingredients when I dined here earlier this year and had the pleasure of tasting it perfectly cooked.
The bar at Town also deserves a mention, with a cleverly crafted cocktail menu that is a must-visit for those who appreciate a well-crafted martini variation. Created by the owner of Satan's Whiskers, these expertly mixed drinks are sure to delight even the most discerning palates.

i mean, who doesn't love a good fried sage leaf? 
and the fact that they're using seasonal local british ingredients is like, totally genius! it's amazing how food can bring people together and create these incredible experiences. i've been hearing so much buzz about this place and i'm literally dying to try it out now 
their menu is like a breath of fresh air - so many seasonal & local ingredients are used, its like they're speaking my language lol. I had the fried sage leaves & crudo and OMG it was LOVE AT FIRST BITE!!! 
the dayboat fish is another fave of mine, cant wait to go back for more 
And those cocktails? PERFECTION 
gotta try that martini menu ASAP 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, the atmosphere looks great and the food sounds solid, but is it really worth all the fuss? I've been there once and had a decent experience, but wasn't blown away by anything. The fried sage leaves were okay, not life-changing 
. And as for the dayboat fish, it's just fish 
! Their menu is all about seasonal & local British faves and it shows in every bite

can't wait to go back there again
