opens up each courgette flower and stuffs it with Montenebro goat's cheese. Then it's a gentle dip in tempura batter and into the fryer until golden and crispy, finished with a drizzle of our spiced honey.

Crisp, creamy, sweet and a little bit smoky from the ash-rind cheese. It's been on the menu for years for good reason.

Grilled Angus beef fillet, done just how you like it with 🔥

We grill our Angus beef fillet over the fire and serve it medium or medium rare, whichever you prefer. Alongside it are heritage carrots in all their colours, roasted with a touch of maple syrup, and a silky aubergine purée with a gentle smoky edge. To finish, there's our beef jus, made in house over more than 48 hours, and every drop is worth it. 🍷

Curtain up on a glass of fino! 🎭

Between 2 and 7 November, every guest who orders our Head Chef Tasting Menu will be handed a complimentary glass of Fernando de Castilla Classic Dry Fino. It's chilled, elegant and beautifully dry, a fitting opening act for an evening of Spanish and Italian small plates from Head Chef Pavlin and the team, right in the heart of theatreland. 🍷

Some pairings just work. Our pork belly comes lacquered in a rich soy glaze, and a glass of Lebanese w**e balances the sweetness and brings out the juiciness of the pork. Watch the full pairing, then come and try it for yourself at Opera Tavern ✨

Galician octopus carpaccio, made from scratch 🐙

Every element is prepared in house. The octopus arrives raw and is cooked slowly for a couple of hours in its own juices. It's then chilled and sliced wafer-thin, and served with a shaved fennel salad and a little pickled jalapeño for a gentle kick.

Simple, fresh and seriously good.
