WHY WE LOVE THIS BAR...

Balthazar is a popular spot, especially with the brunch crowd, in the heart of Covent Garden. This restaurant takes its inspiration from those lovely big French brasseries, so you can expect red leather banquettes and gorgeous big mirrors lining the walls. The best seat in the house though is at the slightly separate bar, tucked behind a screen and home to a very large American whiskey collection. A timeless spot with seamless service to boot.
