Whether for lunch, social drinks, a pre-theatre gathering or dinner, Lowlander’s palpable Belgian vibe and exceptional food and drink specialities make it a genuinely one-off London bar that is refreshingly different. Embodying the inimitable hospitality and warmth of the Low Countries, the very source of its name, Lowlander grand café will immediately captivate you with its continental charm.

Delicious dining on Drury Lane
At The Lowlander, our menu is crafted with care by our executive chef and skilled kitchen team, blending bold flavours with comforting classics. From tempting small plates like to hearty favourites, there’s something to suit every taste. We’re proud to serve what many call the best fish & chips in Covent Garden — a must-try when you visit. On Sundays, we take things up a notch with Covent Garden's finest roast, with perfectly crisp roast potatoes, and all the traditional trimmings. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite before the theatre or settling in for a leisurely lunch, The Lowlander is your go-to destination on Drury Lane.
A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.
Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
