The Barbary

About

Located in the historic Neal’s Yard in Covent Garden, The Barbary invites diners to experience a vibrant Mediterranean menu inspired by the Barbary Coast of North Africa, Southern Europe and the Middle East. The restaurant offers a range of seasonal dishes, from fresh fish and meat to aromatic vegetarian options, all paired with a carefully curated wine selection and a selection of fine vermuts. The cosy, table‑service setting captures the convivial spirit of Moroccan courtyards and Andalusian bars, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere. Walk‑ins are generally welcomed, though space can be limited on busy nights; reservations are highly recommended for larger parties or for those seeking the best dining time. In addition to their regular menu, The Barbary hosts New Year’s Eve dinners and offers private hire for intimate events. A dedicated booking widget on the website allows guests to reserve a table up to a month in advance, ensuring a hassle‑free experience for Londoners and visitors alike.
