Smollensky's on the Strand

About Smollensky's on the Strand

Smollensky’s on The Strand restaurant in central London near Covent Garden, theatres and museums, has long been known for its relaxed atmosphere, fun vibe and party spirit. It seems to be constantly buzzing with lunchtime groups, after-work drinkers, weekend families and lively late evening diners. Smollensky's food is British and Mediterranean and is mainly grilled-based fare. Simple and hearty it may be, but at Smollensky's on the Strand there's real attention to detail – all the meat is from grass-fed herds, for example, and the company makes its own marinades and sauces. With its unfinished brick walls and gentle, subdued lighting, this West End restaurant and bar is cool and unfussy, the perfect spot for simple, well-prepared food and a good night out with friends or work colleagues. The big, chatty wine list spans the globe. Weekend lunchtimes are dedicated to families, with an entertainer, goodie bags and free balloons for children.
