The Petersham

"Nestled in the 'Floral Court' section of Covent Garden is this elegant restaurant adorned with fresh flowers and Murano glass. It comes from the same stable as Petersham Nurseries Café and uses produce from their Richmond nursery as well as their Devon farm. The Italian-based dishes, like vegetables pinzimonio, show off the ingredients beautifully. The lovely terrace is shared with La Goccia, their more informal spot for sharing plates, and they also have a neighbouring wine bar and deli. From Thursday to Sunday, their afternoon teas become something of an event." - Michelin Inspector

Restaurants Serving Afternoon Tea

"Bedecked with a wonderful array of flora and fauna, Petersham is found within aptly named Floral Court in London’s Covent Garden. The menu is largely Italian, with produce sourced from the site’s original Richmond nursery and Devon-based farm. Petersham’s creative afternoon tea stand features European-inspired savouries, scones with house jam and creative desserts." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

The Petersham Restaurant Review - Covent Garden - London - The Infatuation

"Even if a solid 20% of your day is still dedicated to Angry Birds, you’ll definitely feel like an adult at The Petersham. This restaurant inside Covent Garden outpost of Petersham Nurseries serves up modern European food like white truffle tagliatelle, sea bream tartare and partridge risotto. In case the food didn’t give it away, you should know that this place can get pretty expensive, but their three course pre-theatre menu is only £30.50. If you’ve got a thing for blown glass and chandeliers (who doesn’t), sit inside, but if you want to take in the very idyllic floral courtyard, you can sit outside too." - Heidi Lauth Beasley

Outstanding family time at The Petersham. Service was attentive. The food recommendation was exceptional. The wine and cocktails recommendations were done so well. My mom had lovely time. Their terrace is so lovely with fresh flowers. You feel like you are in a small town somewhere in Italy. Will comeback soon for a glass of wine and small nibbles.

Happened to stumble across Petersham Covent Garden this evening. The restaurant was elegant, with a relaxed atmosphere. We had a fantastic meal. The food was bold with flavour and true to Italian cuisine. Our host Guiseppe in particular made our meal extremely enjoyable with his charismatic energy and attentive care, a true credit to the restaurant. Will definitely be visiting again.

This was a special surprise birthday gift for my girlfriend, and it genuinely felt like we were treated like royalty. Wonderful staff with just the right amount of attentiveness, incredible food and the most beautiful restaurant. Overall, worth every single penny and we would return in a heartbeat.

Our dining experience at this restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. We began with an incredible asparagus risotto and a fresh tuna tartar. The vegetable tempura in delicate pastry with a sublime sauce was equally delightful. Apologies for the lack of photos – we were so eager to dive in that everything was devoured immediately. The risotto was especially noteworthy, with flavors that melted in the mouth. We also enjoyed perfectly cooked calamari and fish. Each course was paired with outstanding beverages, thanks to the expertise of sommelier Valentin. Not sure what to start with, I entrusted him to prepare a refreshing cocktail, which was spot-on. This was followed by a superb red wine and concluded with a fabulous espresso martini, all perfectly complementing our meal. The desserts – tiramisu and chocolate mousse – were the perfect finale to our feast. This restaurant is a must-visit for its exquisite dishes and impeccable service.

It is always easier to complaint about a service, rather than sharing a compliment. After reading a number of less-than-stellar reviews online, my partner and I were initially hesitant to book a table at The Petersham Floral Court. However, our experience turned out to be nothing short of extraordinary, and I feel compelled to share our delightful encounter. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was enchanting. The staff welcomed us with genuine warmth and attentiveness that set the tone for the evening. The highlight of our visit was, without a doubt, the meal. Every course was a delightful surprise, bursting with creativity and flavor. The seared sea bass with broad beans was sensational, the rib-eye melted in our mouths, and the grilled nectarines with sorbet was a decadent yet guilt-free finish. It’s clear the chef poured their heart into every dish! The wine pairings were spot-on, perfectly enhancing every aspect of the dining experience. We had the pleasure of trying the Livio Felluga Rosazzo Terre Alte 2021, which was exceptional. While we had our reservations based on previous reviews, we found every aspect of our evening to be exemplary. It’s possible that previous experiences might have been influenced by different factors, but our visit was flawless. We left with full stomachs and even fuller hearts, already planning our next visit. If you’re considering dining at The Petersham Floral Court, I highly recommend you give it a chance. It’s clear that the team is dedicated to providing an outstanding experience, and our evening was nothing short of magical.

We had a fantastic time on Saturday having afternoon tea! We were welcomed to our table and a waiter came to explain the types of afternoon tea available. We loved all the fresh flowers around the restaurant. The courtyard entrance felt like we were in another country! Our pear Bellini’s came and were delicious! The food came on a glass tower with a bunch of spring flowers. It was beautifully presented! The food was fresh and we loved it!! From the hustle of Covent Garden, we felt like we were whisked to another place!!

Came here for the afternoon tea experience and it was great. There was so much food on offer that we couldn’t finish it all, but it was great. Very good quality food with an excellent variety - the sandwiches were lovely and the pastries were delectable. Overall service was great.
