The River Cafe
Elegant Italian cooking on the Thames for 35+ years. Ruth Rogers' kitchen has trained more great chefs than culinary school. The produce is impeccable.
What to Expect
A riverside setting with a blue kitchen visible from every table. Italian cooking stripped to its essentials with the best ingredients money can buy.
The Tip
The chocolate nemesis is legendary. Lunch is slightly more accessible than dinner. Book the terrace in summer.
