Beyond excited to be invited for Lunch at The Jones Family Affair Covent Garden. The Jones Family Affair is a Bistro-style independent restaurant and cocktail bar nestled in Covent Garden and a stone’s throw from the famous Trafalgar Square. Keeping up with the Joneses excuse the pun! The entrance to the restaurant sets the scene for a truly outstanding dining experience. Walking into the restaurant my first impression is glamour yet understated, with vibrant colors and eclectic pop art. A large marble fully stocked bar and open space set across two floors, with a huge atrium-style skylight beaming natural light throughout. The Jones Family Affair offers a dining experience with a relaxed and chilled ambiance. The perfect restaurant for an intimate date for lunch or dinner, food with friends and family or business meal, and even a separate room upstairs to host an event. The Jones Family Affair is sister to The Jones Family Kitchen in Belgravia.
