"Lahpet’s original restaurant is in Shoreditch, but in our opinion, its Covent Garden spot is better. Downstairs there’s a buzzing open kitchen and big sharing tables that are perfect for anyone who’s on a solo mission to eat some excellent Burmese noodle soup. Upstairs, the lighting is a little moodier and there are lots of two-person tables that will suit a date night involving lentil chow chow, several small plates, and a round of Lahpet’s pickled tea take on a classic martini. Expect great vegan options, gluten-free numbers, and enough ginger to shock you out of your urban blues. " - Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
