Description of Livebait (WC2E)
Livebait has got just the right stuff to lure hungry diners into its bright, friendly restaurant. The atmosphere is brasserie-ish in the sense that it's informal and relaxed. This particular has the same high-quality super-fresh fish and shellfish that makes the food so memorable in other locations. The most popular dish is the Livebait Platter, a huge international grouping of Nova Scotia lobster, Dorset crab, Madagascan crevettes, Atlantic prawns and Indian Ocean crevettes that serves at least two people. Starters range from steamed mussels to fish soup with aioli to taramasalata, mains range from straightforward fish and chips to panfried seabass and fantail crevette linguini with chilli and ginger and baby spinach. If you can manage it, the blackberry and apple crumble with clotted cream is fab. Effective cocktails and nice wines - more than a dozen are available by the glass.

Livebait (WC2E) Reviews

Had a fantastic time at the Covent Garden, Livebait. We arrived a little late so didn't have time to have a drink at the bar. I would recommend sitting in a booth as this gives you a little privacy from the real hustle and bustle of the restaurant, which really does add to the atmosphere. The food was perfect in everyway, from the presentation to the melt in your mouth tuna steak. The Staff are fantastic and there is a great selection of good white wines. The Toilets are the one let down.

A good choice of fish dishes which we all enjoyed. Tempura chill squid was tasty, light and flavoursome. Fish and chips was also good - crunchy non-greasy batter and chunky chips. Service was friendly and efficient. Good atmosphere and pleasant surroundings.

Livebait tucked away in Covent Garden provides a fresh approach to seafood combinations. Not hurried through meal. Enjoyable and relaxing
