Lady of the Grapes is a charming, intimate wine bar in Covent Garden, celebrated for its "phenomenal wines" and cozy French ambiance. The menu features delicious, tapas-style dishes, with a focus on organic and biodynamic wines, especially from female winemakers. While the space is small, the "friendly service" and engaging atmosphere make it a delightful spot for wine enthusiasts.

    We booked well in advance for a pre show dinner. After bringing us some snacks we were ignored. We had chosen an expensive bottle of wine, there are no cheap ones, and we waited to order our main meal. Eventually, when we caught someone’s attention, we were told that no food from the main courses was available. This was early on a Saturday night. Needless to say, we won’t be returning to this establishment.

    The food and quality and voice of wine was great as always. However, four glasses of wine and a charcuterie board (3 cheeses/1 meat) for £124 is overpriced. Service was both slow and poor. Nuts served with the cheese when staff knew of severe nut allergy is particularly concerning. Ambience good but Very loud. It’s a small place so to be fair, noise levels will be louder.

    Lovely atmosphere as always, delicious wine and small bites. Only remark would be sitting by the window gets uncomfortable quite quickly as the seats have no back support.

    Many restaraunts offer small plates and tapas dishes but few understand the concept. Our Lady of the Grapes delivered without disappointment. Our server Laura managed and served the 5 dishes we ordered in the sequence we requested to pair with each glass of wine. Her service was spot on. Brava Laura. We will definitely return. Make sure to reserve your table in advance so you won't be disappointed.

    Great venue for a cosy catch up over a very nice bottle of wine plus tapas style European style cooking/dishes. Very friendly and polite service-good food but don’t expect Michelin star cooking it’s simpler fair. Great wine selection
