The food Genuinely it didn’t taste the best it was all very plasticy and fake. But the view was very nice. I mean I cook a lot and I don’t think it’s supposed to look like that. And they put cheese sauce instead of normal cheese and it took very long even though there were only two other people in the shop. The view was very pretty though you could see the Big Ben and the London eye while eating your food.
The food is tasty and the location is perfect. We decided to sit outside for our first visit but there are window seats inside to overlook the river and some passing traffic.
We chose the breakfast and they were larger than expected, matching the higher than average prices charged.
The coffee wasn’t for me but it was drinkable. We didn’t treat ourselves to the pastries after but they did look inviting.
It’s a small cafe but a great stop on the way of a long walk. One to try once at least.
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 central London.
The location is nice overlooking parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Bridge also just across the road from garden museum. The fish & chips was nice/average but definitely not worth almost £16, overpriced. I've had better, maybe if the chips were bigger or it came with a drink it would be worth the money.
Lovely little spot to stop for a coffee and snack. We'd had a long walk along the Thames so perfect little spot to stop and admire the view of Big Ben. Coffee was also delightful
Beautiful people and aim to please. Awesome fish and chips and coffee. Also wonderful pastry or ice cream treats. Riverside Cafe is small and cozy and will be our favorite for scenes of the Thames River and Parliament.
An absolute gem! Lovely coffee and food with truly incredible views of the river, Westminster Palace and Big Ben.
I bought three latte and 3 pistachios small danish cake which says 3 for £4, but they charged me full price which was dishonest of them.
