Jar Kitchen (Covent Garden)

• Using ingredients that are fresh and current
• An added plus is their pre theatre menu
• I had the chocolate ganache and banana ice cream a decadent sweet treat that was the perfect ending to my meal
• The restaurant is teeny tiny
• Covent Garden is reserved for chains
• That cosy little place is Jar Kitchen
• Predictably quiet as it was still early
• Whereas I went heavy and autumnal with ox cheek &
• My main of pork belly could easily again have been quite heavy but paired with a bed of peas and lentils and with greens
• Beautifully tender meat and crispy crackling with a hazelnut crumble on top
• He dug into the mixed grain salad with roasted heirloom carrots
• Pomegranate and almonds with such gusto that it wouldn&rsquo
• T really have mattered whether it was super photogenic or not
• No photo because I was more concerned about making it to the theatre) before having to leave and run across Covent Garden to the Coliseum
• I think this was maybe the only thing that could have been a tad better about our meal at Jar Kitchen
• Two courses was fine and very manageable
• Particularly when the nights are shorter and the dark draws in earlier
• S evening when the door is open and the warm air drifts in
• Great little restaurant serving best of British food like whole grain salad with lamb
• The cocktails and wine selection is also excellent and eclectic (Bulgarian Red anyone) while the atmosphere is laidback and friendly
• Where every table is full of happy people
• Every single thing is made from scratch
• So full of flavour and surprisingly not dry is oddly served with sweet potato crisp
• A small dot of smoked onion mayo was everything
• Great prices with decent portions
• I was guided by our helpful waiter to try the cauliflower and blue cheese side as a starter which was tasty and of a good size
• I was perplexed by what seemed to be a multicoloured vegetable within the dish however this later turned out to be the heirloom carrots which were quite delightful
• I'm not sure that anyone could argue that pomegranate seeds perk up any salad although in this case they were the icing on the cake to a great combination of flavours and textures
• I also ordered some triple cooked chips as a side and these were crisp and just how chips should be
• The warm cinnamon doughnuts were mouthwateringly good and the salted caramel dip was so delicious that I didn't even miss the chocolate dipping sauce that doughnuts are normally served with
• Prices are quite standard with starters starting at £
• Prices are always on the lower end of the spectrum so the meal I experienced was definitely of a reasonable price
• The Jar Kitchen is a tricky one
• There are a distinct lack of choices compared with the options for carnivores so on first glance The Jar Kitchen might be one to avoid
• Trying to stay healthy or simply craving some amazing doughnuts then you cant go wrong with The Jar Kitchen
• My cousin D is at the top of that list
• I missed her birthday soiree this year as I was in the Philippines so to make up for it I promised to take her out to dinner at her restaurant of choice
• Hot breakfast was something I looked forward to
• The dark coloured front blended quite well with the cold grey London and seem to blend into the neighbourhood
• I was seated by the window and it was not comfortable
• Jar Kitchen was full house
• The taste of kimchi pickle was a little too intense and it actually tasted more of a saurkraut version
• I am not sure if that was how I wanted to feel on a brunch weekend mode
• Plus my situation is now different
• I am spoilt with Mr L making the best scrambled eggs
• Served in bed with coffee is going to be tough competition for anywhere else
• It was her bday so it was my treat to try Jar Kitchen (Covent Garden) together for the first time
• The service from Lauren was pleasant and polite
• Lucy was not in her best shape to appear in front of the clients
• 15 mins before our leave time she marched near our table and with authoritarian voice told us that we have to leave in 10 mins and there is time for only one more drink and nothing else
• Who was Lucy and she told us it was a co owner
• Bitchy and ordering her customer to leave was not the service we expect for bday brunch
• Starters we had artichokes and some shrimps with a very yummy sauce
• We have all ordered different mains and they all were all delicious
• They change the menu based on what is in season so I can&rsquo
