Recommendations for a nice Sunday Lunch in Leicester Sq/Covent Garden area
I'm taking a group of ladies "of a certain age" to lunch before a sunday matinee at the Wyndhams. Want nice but not super posh. For various reasons I'm thinking the Portrait Restaurant (mainly for the view), J-Sheekey, and Rule's (which is definitely approaching the posh end of the spectrum but would be an "experience" ). All are w/i really easy walking distance of the theatre. But I am having a bit of a brain block thinking of other semi-special places w/i a short walk - other than right in/around Covent Garden where we'll be on another day.
Don't want the Ivy. Any brilliant ideas???

Hello Janis,
Although I loved Rules, Cafe` Fish, and any good Chinese nearby, my vote for your Sunday lunch could be enjoyed at this lovely establishment which is not overly priced.
Have a lovely time with your ladies!

I don't have any brilliant ideas, janis, but Patrick (NeoPatrick) has recommended in the past Brasserie Boulevard on Wellington Street. I ate there in 2007 for lunch and it was decent. I wouldn't say it's that fancy of a place thought. They have a 2-course pre-theater lunch for 12 pounds.

Hello again,
just seen you mention "other than right in/around Covent Garden!
The only other really nice restaurant I've experienced twice is Wolfes's Grille Room, 30 Greater Queens Street.
Ph: 2078314442.
We have only had the pre-theatre dinner which included 3 courses for around 10 pounds.

Thanks for the suggestions. Wolfe's might work - but its maybe a bit longer walk.
I've walked past the Boulevard Brasserie many times but never gone inside. I'll have to keep it in mind for one of my other theatre nights.

Didn't see carolyn's post - yes - their sticky toffee pudding is worth a special detour 
I eat a Brown's now and then and the food is <u>definitely</u> yummy, and the location just about perfect for this. I was sort of hoping for a bit more "special occasion-ish". But heck - stickey toffee pudding will make it special - right!?
