Atis

Atis is a health-focused eatery on Long Acre, one of the main streets of Covent Garden, built around real, wholesome food. Its tagline of powering communities with real food sets the tone, and each branch in the group is designed individually to reflect the neighbourhood it sits in, so the Long Acre room is meant to feel tied to Covent Garden rather than a standard fit-out.

The menu runs from a curated list of bowls, plates and sides to build-your-own options, with smoothies, shakes and snacks, and a breakfast and coffee offer earlier in the day. Allergen and nutritional guides are published for every part of the range, including the drinks and the catering menu, which makes it one of the easier places in the area to eat to a specific diet. A loyalty programme and app ordering keep things convenient for regulars.

Healthy salad bowls in Covent Garden

Long Acre runs from the piazza towards Leicester Square and is lined with shops and eateries, so a table here places you on a busy, central street, well positioned for a break between shopping and sightseeing. The emphasis is on healthy salad bowls and energising food rather than a heavy sit-down meal, which makes Atis a good choice for a fresh lunch, a quick bite or a takeaway to eat on the move.

What to expect on a visit

Orders can be placed at the counter or through the Atis app, and catering is available for groups. The branch opens from 11am on weekdays and midday at weekends, serving into the evening. Covent Garden underground station is a minute or two away. For a sit-down brunch alternative nearby, see Abuelo on Southampton Street, or browse every cafe in Covent Garden in the directory.
