Red Lion Cafe

About Red Lion Cafe

Red Lion Cafe brings a slice of Chilean street food to a leafy square between Holborn and Covent Garden, run by Nelson and his family who've built a devoted local following. The falafel wrap at £4.50 draws the weekday lunch crowd, but regulars swear by the Chilean specials — pastel de choclo, completos (loaded hot dogs available halal), and empanadas you can take home to bake. "The food was delicious and felt like family," one visitor says after sampling the mushroom empanadas and chilenitos. Highchairs and buggy-friendly outdoor seating are available, and the square's mature trees provide shade on warm days. Indoor tables work when the weather turns. Reviewers praise the warmth and generous portions. Best for a midweek escape from the West End rush or a sunny afternoon when the kids can roam the square between bites.
