My friends and I had such a lovely experience at Bar Libretto. The weather was fine - so we were able to sit outside in the courtyard and it was so lovely! The service was friendly, professional and unpretentious. The food was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. Good value for money, considering the high quality. I would not hesitate to recommend Bar Libretto and will definitely be returning.

We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend
