Riverside — Restaurant in London

Attracted by the novelty of the cafe’s setting protruding from the Southbank slightly into the river. This affords interesting views which I enjoyed. The staff seemed friendly and as we placed our order my partner was advised to have something other than what she asked for because: “it is tastier”. So she did. We appreciated this advice (but please see further down). After about 15 minutes our food arrived. It was nothing special and cost £35 for two including a cup of tea each. The condiments available were very thin, almost like water with no real taste. So the poor quality and lack of flavour of my thin chip like things could not be hidden. The piece for fried frozen fish was ok though nothing to write home about. My partner’s chips had more flavour courtesy of Peri Peri powder but the toasted Panini type thing she had been advised to try was she said stale with the chicken in it tasting old. So what we thought had been an act of kindness had been a way of trying to sell old stock. Well I suppose it is...

Whilst staying in London, we were looking for a place serving breakfast that was relatively close to where we were staying in Lambeth. We then came across the Riverside Cafe.

The Full English breakfast was priced at £10, which is slightly more than I am used to paying but it is London, so you come to expect it.

The food was delicious. Hot and fresh both mornings we went and the view to accompany the Breakfast was second to none. I had freshly squeezed orange juice both times.

The Friendly staff always welcome you in with a smile too which can be hard to come by nowadays…

I thoroughly recommend this place if you’re looking for a freshly made, hot breakfast. Will be returning when we come back to...

My new favourite full English breakfast haunte & with possibly the best views of London's top tourist attractions that doesn't require booking in advance to enjoy. Basically, it's a wooden shack jutting out over the Thames propped up on some fairly rickety, very old looking wooden foundations that leaves you dining over South East England's biggest tidal river and has 180°views of the Houses of Parliament out of some slightly shabby windows you can manually open for unobscured views and much needed ventilation. They also do an awesome jacket potatoe with tuna and cheese that must be one of the best I've had in the capital. I really do love...
