Where To Eat When You’re Shopping In Covent Garden
"Arome Bakery is your classic love story. Great Malaysian restaurant teams up with top French pâtissier and the rest is history. Okay, so it’s not quite your classic love story but this union has resulted in a seriously lovely bakery in St Martin’s Courtyard. You’ll inevitably spend five minutes perusing the display counter before saying ‘please just give me one of everything’ and trust us, you won’t regret that decision. Everything from the pistachio and chocolate escargots to the pineapple and mango danish is excellent, but it’s the fluffy sweet honey butter toast that is an absolute must-order. There’s also plenty of coffee available and some tables so it’ll work just as well for a quick retail rest as for a grab-and-go sugar high." - heidi lauth beasley
