Top 7 Best Bites at Seven Dials Market

To locals and tourists alike, Covent Garden really does feel like the epicentre of London. Once the site of a bustling fruit and veg food market, the site has long since been modernised. With busy shopping areas such as Neal Street which happily accompany the historic Covent Garden Piazza. One new gem to the Covent Garden scene is the foodhall known as Seven Dials Market, which is housed in a former banana warehouse, and is now home to some 60 food stands, all vying for your custom! With all this contagious buzz, what are seven of the best bites to go for?

A bustling food hall with two levels filled with people dining at numerous tables. The lower level has closely packed tables with individuals eating and conversing, while the upper level features a balcony with more diners and onlookers.

The Truffle Burger

‘The Ultimate Finer Diner’, Truffle London is a great first stop for a hungry punter. Shoot your attention straight for the titular Truffle Burger which features raclette cheese, beef, smoked bacon and of course - a decadent truffle mayonnaise served up on a fresh brioche bun. If you are really looking to truffle some feathers then add on the parmesan fries - just don’t go looking for a calorie counter!

Yum Buns

Beginning life back in 2011, Yum Bun @yum_bun has some serious sticking power in the city's food scene - and it might be something to do with their signature 'Yumplings’. Described earnestly as ‘fluffy clouds of flavour fusion’, if you want to taste the true pioneers of London’s bao market - this is the place! 

If you are a meat eater, order the pork belly bao for some truly decadent eating.
