Rooted in Greek heritage, ERGON blends contemporary Mediterranean dining with warm, generous hospitality in the heart of London
Covent Garden is welcoming a new chapter with the opening of ERGON, a restaurant set within ERGON House London, bringing a deep-rooted passion for food to the capital. Part of the internationally recognised ERGON ecosystem, the new opening celebrates the generous spirit of Greek food and hospitality, offering London a fresh perspective on a cuisine that honours tradition while embracing modern Mediterranean living. With a philosophy built around quality, authenticity and the pleasure of sharing good food, it invites guests to experience the flavours and character of contemporary Greece in one of London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.
The menu is inspired by the way Greeks eat today, pairing familiar flavours and traditional ingredients with a modern approach to cooking. Guided by simplicity, the kitchen approaches the cuisine as an evolving food culture, deeply connected to its roots while open to new influences, techniques and ideas. Highlights include the signature Greek salad with pita bread, cherry tomatoes, feta, grilled peppers and Kalamata olive powder, and grilled octopus with yellow split pea purée and sun-dried tomato paste, showcasing the freshness and generosity at the heart of the menu. To finish, desserts include portokalopita, a traditional orange phyllo pie, and baklava with pistachio ice cream.
The sophisticated dining space draws on a rich heritage of craft, blending natural materials with thoughtful artisanal details. From textured fabrics to carefully crafted stone and marble finishes, every element brings a subtle touch of Greek character to the room. On the main wall, a large work commissioned from artist Stratis Tavlaridis pays tribute to traditional handiwork through his signature paper-cut technique. Created specifically for the space and spanning three metres, it reflects his wider exploration of family, origins, displacement and the relationship between people and place.
ERGON’s story began in Thessaloniki, where the founders grew up surrounded by Greek delicacies and the warm hospitality of their grandfather, a local grocer. Guided by the enduring principle of “nothing but the best”, ERGON continues to champion quality ingredients and the people who produce them. Today, more than a million guests a year gather around its tables, from Thessaloniki and Athens to Doha, Dubai and London, yet each one is still set with the same care as that first grocer’s counter.
ERGON House London, the group’s first House outside Greece, brings this philosophy to central London. Alongside the restaurant, the House is home to a Deli & Café, a store dedicated to Greek producers and rooms, all under one roof and united by the same genuine hospitality.
ERGON opens at 26 King Street, Covent Garden, on 16th November 2026.
