Pre-Theatre Dining in Covent Garden
The Prelude to a Spectacular Evening
Steeped in history and overlooking the iconic Savoy court, Restaurant 1890 by Gordon Ramsay offers the ultimate pre-theatre dining experience. Named in honor of the year Georges Auguste Escoffier joined The Savoy, our restaurant blends classic French culinary artistry with modern theatricality - making it the perfect opening act for your night in London’s West End.
Time-Conscious Luxury
We understand that timing is everything when you have a curtain to catch. Our exclusive pre-theatre tasting menu is meticulously paced, ensuring you experience the height of fine dining without ever needing to rush.
