An Aegean bar and restaurant in Soho, from The Good Food Society - the group behind Yosma and Frescobaldi restaurants.

The term ‘hovarda’, which is used in both Turkish and Greek, playfully references a generous host with a free spirit. Hovarda on Rupert Street embraces this through its luxe first floor cocktail bar and ground floor restaurant, with interiors designed by Lázaro Rosa‐Violan. The space features a large open kitchen and counter dining overlooking the open fire grills. The menu focuses on dishes from the area surrounding the Aegean Sea - with an emphasis on seafood. The restaurant features a daily-changing menu determined by what the day boats catch each day from around the British Isles, alongside a more extensive Aegean-inspired menu.
