A counter in Neal’s Yard
About The Barbary
The Barbary is a horseshoe-shaped counter of seats around an open kitchen in Neal’s Yard, from the team behind The Palomar. Its food draws on the Barbary Coast, from Morocco and Algeria to Spain, with breads, grills and small plates cooked over charcoal. Some seats are kept for walk-ins; a sister restaurant has opened in Notting Hill. Covent Garden station is a few minutes away.
