Parsons Restaurant🦞🐟🦐

Parsons is one of my favourite seafood restaurants in Covent Garden. It is a very small restaurant and make sure you book a table first. I took all my friends there and all of them loved it.

Their menu changes everyday depends on the seasons. Chefs come out different ideas to cook the seafood. The quality of the seafood is fantastic and the prices are so reasonable. I am a seafood lover and was so happy to return. They have outside tables (about 6 tables with heaters) If you haven’t tried Parson, make sure you pay a visit.
