Matinee Moments & French Flavours: The Perfect Pairing at Palm Court Brasserie
There’s something timeless about an afternoon at the theatre; a matinee in London’s West End feels like stepping into another world for a few golden hours. Tucked away in the heart of Covent Garden, Palm Court Brasserie offers the ideal setting to begin (or end) your matinee experience in true style.
Whether you’re heading to The Lion King at the Lyceum, Hercules at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, or Operation Mincemeat just around the corner at the Fortune Theatre, we’re only a few minutes’ walk away, the perfect pause between the bustle of London and the hush of the curtain rising.
A Menu Made for the Matinee Crowd
Our Pre-Theatre Menu is designed with theatre-goers in mind; beautifully paced, effortlessly elegant, and available from 12:00 pm to 6:30 pm.
Enjoy two courses for £20.95 or three for £24.95, featuring comforting French classics like Salmon Rillette, Beef Bourguignon, and our much-loved Crème Brûlée. Each dish is prepared with the care and quality you’d expect from a Covent Garden favourite, ensuring you’re satisfied but never rushed.
It’s the perfect prelude to an afternoon performance or a delicious encore once the show is over.
The Perfect Afternoon Itinerary
If your matinee starts at 2:30 pm, join us for lunch around 12:30 pm to savour two unhurried courses before the performance. For those who prefer to dine after the show, our pre-theatre menu runs until early evening; ideal for a post-matinee glass of wine and dinner as Covent Garden hums to life around you.
Our team are seasoned in serving theatre guests; we’ll ensure your meal flows perfectly in time with the show, so all you need to think about is which cocktail pairs best with your curtain call.
Covent Garden’s Afternoon Charm
A matinee outing in Covent Garden is a ritual of its own. Between the street performers, boutique shops, and iconic theatres, the neighbourhood carries a buzz that’s both romantic and refined. Step into Palm Court Brasserie and you’ll find the same spirit; Art Nouveau elegance, candlelit tables, and the warm hum of conversation that feels distinctly, delightfully London.
Curtain Up on Your Next Visit
