It’s midday in Covent Garden, and the buzz of the market fills the air. Street performers entertain the crowds, the scent of fresh flowers drifts from the stalls, and somewhere nearby, your stomach starts to growl.

You’re on the hunt for lunch — but not just any lunch. You want something effortless yet satisfying. Something quick and fuss-free if you’re in a rush, or a place to unwind and truly savour your break.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at Olea Social Covent Garden.

Step through our doors and you’ll be welcomed by a warm, lively space that feels like a home away from home. Bright, bustling, and full of chatter — the perfect backdrop for a lunchtime pause. Here, lunch is made for socialising and relaxing.

Pressed for time? No problem. Our menu serves up quick, flavoursome dishes that won’t keep you waiting. Picture thin, crispy Turkish pides, fresh from the oven, topped with rich melted cheese, spiced lamb, or fresh garden veggies. Every bite bursts with a crunchy exterior and soft, warm dough, packed with bold, comforting flavours. Freshly prepared and cooked from scratch daily, they’re brilliant alone or even better when shared around the table.

Got a little more time? Slow down and treat yourself. Our Meze Lunch is a vibrant celebration of Turkish flavours, all for just £15. Creamy, smooth hummus and smoky babaganoush sit alongside tender grilled aubergine with yoghurt, tahini, garlic, and lemon — a perfect harmony of fresh and rich.

Crisp falafel fritters, made with crushed chickpeas, fava beans, and pepper, add a burst of flavour. Refreshing cacik with yoghurt, cucumber, mint, and dill cools the palate, while Turkish aubergine shakshuka, served on yoghurt, warms you with its comforting richness.

Grilled halloumi, or Hellim, offers salty, satisfying bites, and spiced, tender lamb kofte delivers a hearty, meaty punch. Fresh tabbouleh with parsley, mint, crushed wheat, tomatoes, spring onions, and a zing of lemon ties it all together beautifully.

Every dish is freshly prepared and cooked from scratch daily, guaranteeing the freshest, most authentic flavours in every mouthful.

This is a feast for the senses — a vibrant palette of colours, textures, and tastes designed to be shared and savoured slowly.

And what’s lunch without a little sparkle? Our carefully selected bubbles lift your meal to another level. Raise a glass, celebrate a special moment, or simply add a touch of joy to your day.
