Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near South Bank, London

Clara E. • June 13, 2022Believe it or not, best Portuguese food i’ve had despite having visited Portugal a couple of times. Everything was delicious; piri shrimps, sourdough was mind blowing, african rice, pork croquettes

Kristina V. • June 18, 2019Love it here. Recommend getting two bao buns each and sharing one of the small platters. Delicious beer. Lovely and fast service. The interior and illustrations everywhere just make it perfect.

Little Miss Coffee Snob • November 10, 2018If in Borough Market then Gentlemen’s Barista is a must place for coffee. Super friendly staff too!

Anna R. • March 4, 2020Absolutely loved it. Some of the best italian food in London. On the pricier side but definitely worth it. Doesn’t feel stuck up though at all. Great sourdough pizza but even better pasta!

Enzo M. • December 2, 2020The closest juice bar to my place so one of my favourites

kykylala • March 18, 2012Try The Kernel beer: brewed in London. Dark, delicate and lovely.

Tim C. • August 7, 2014Great during the summer, by the river and great London beers. But it's by the river which makes it really busy.

PJ B. • May 11, 2019Great Flat White. No charge for soy. Staff are polite and friendly. Probably the best coffee I’ve had on Bankside, don’t let the station location fool you- they know what they’re doing.

Dimitris H. • July 2, 2012Beautiful environment, nice music, great coffee - when it's not busy.

Elif İ. • October 8, 2012Best nandos I've ever been and also great location! Try chicken liver with Portuguese rolls!

Jess F. • February 22, 2022Delicious bread, buns, pastries, croissants, and soup!

Hadeel K. • November 10, 2022I like the place and its atmosphere. This is a perfect spot for breakfast and brunch. I have tried Sugar Mama and what was a special dish and super delicious.

Heather R. • June 28, 2016One of my fav spots in London. :)

Mada • July 16, 2023If you don’t eat meat you can try their sides as a main dish. I would recommend their roared aubergine

Jenya S. • September 3, 2016Second floor is roomier and less crowded. Red berry cake tastes great, ultra thin puff pastry crust and home-made tasting filling. Skip chai latte, it's made with syrup and tastes like sugary milk.

Slynky C. • October 31, 2017The homemade noodles are excellent. Seafood ramen (pictured) & chilli chicken ramen both great. Good lunch set menu of a ramen & side for £9.95. Really fresh & tasty. Big portions. Quick service.

148 C. • May 9, 2016Grab a sit outside on sunny days. Pasta zucchini and prawns ++ burrata from puglia is of no interest. Friendly staff.

Umberto N. • January 27, 2014Amazing huge pub,nice staff, great service, food and drinks.Need to go there in the summer time on the terrace at the first floor, the view up there is amazing.Really enjoyed

Rania • July 26, 2023Even though borough market is next door we preferred to have lunch here away from the crowds. The pizza is surprisingly very good and the staff are friendly.

Milos G. • August 24, 2018Loveberries filter coffee is brilliant. Banana porridge 🥣 is some of the best I’ve had in the area

Cenk G. • October 6, 2014One of the first and most famous third wave coffee shops. Apart from making great coffee they sell their special blends as beans too. Very crowded in weekends as it's very close to Borough Market.

S Marks The Spots • March 31, 2013A wide range of oyster variations written on blackboards above the bar, α relaxed but buzzy atmosphere, good service and affordable prices in the heart of the oldest London food market

Andrew C. • August 29, 2018Fair lunch spot, kind of hidden off the main roads with a wonderful patio seating... food was described in menu as way fancier than it actually was, but it turned out simple yet delicious and filling

Alex P. • June 2, 2023Amazing coffee and a unique menu blending Mediterranean and British cuisine. Enjoyed the Turkish egg and veg full English equivalent.

J L. • September 29, 2014The oysters are fresh and tasty. Full of flavor and not briney. The pepper sauce is get. Get the special combo deals. Note: the medium oysters are large.

Kukkii K. • November 1, 2019Pricey but you get top notch beef and service. The bone marrow sauce and beef dripping fries are excellent too.

Chris R. • December 12, 2021Amazing. Astounding. Delicious. Flavour sensation.

Heather R. • August 21, 2018Lovely British tasting menu. Great value and delicious food. A hidden gem.

Lopiteaux • June 4, 2013Probably the best filled pasta in town... fresh gnocchi with pesto is INCREDIBLE.
