The Private Dining Room Balthazar is situated in the heart of Covent Garden on the corner of Russell and Wellington Streets, a moment's walk from The Royal Opera House. Our private dining room is on the first floor above the restaurant, accessible either through the main doors or via a private entrance. The room has its own bar and lounge, and accommodates up to 60 guests seated for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and up to 80 standing for receptions and events. Guests can experience the same exceptional service, delicious food and ambient style of Balthazar in a more intimate setting. Antique timber floorboards, vintage wall sconces and an original pewter bar top create an exclusive environment which, alongside our specially crafted menus, will ensure the perfect setting for your event.
