Bread Street Kitchen On The River in Tower Hamlets

Incredibly average food for the price. 20% service charge and then they ask for another 20% as a tip on top😂 comical. Tipping is for exceptional service not for average service

Came for late dinner with my girlfriend, staff was welcoming and the butter chicken curry was delicious. Special thanks to our amazing waiter Jan

The setting was very pleasant. My son has coeliac disease and the menu did not state which dishes had gluten in. The waiter was not very knowledgeable and kept having to go off to discuss with chef! He had very limited choices, not even the fries, and it’s the first restaurant I’ve come across and the brownie contains gluten! Overall our food was okay but we won’t be returning. Expensive for what you get!

Not recommended: good location but loud; service slow; my dish of macaroni cheese tasteless and pretty inedible, others' dishes rated OK to fair; bill c.£40 per head too expensive for what we were served.

I came to this place with my family for a Christmas day and we liked it very much. The food was excellent and the hospitality of the staff as well. Special thanks to our waiter Jan who looked after us. My recommendation is their beef wellington!

Good but a little expensive for what you get

UPDATE: I came here on Christmas day 2024 and was served by the nicest and sweetest waitress named Greta, props to her for making our Christmas special! Cheers! - I've been at the previous restaurant, the Narrow, plenty of times yet I am LOVING this revamp! The menu is very similar, delicious British food, and there's a great atmosphere. The outside terrace seems much more insulated and it looks all new and beautiful. The service was efficient and both the receptionist and the waiters have been very warm and welcoming. I am hoping these standards will be kept up, because if so I am coming back again and again! Well done Ramsay and team!

Outstanding brownie and Carmel ice cream. Delicious steak and ale pie 🤤

We loved it. We had Greta as our waitress and she was just incredible. She made our whole experience so enjoyable and memorable and served us the amazing food on the Christmas menu. Thank you Greta (she deserves a raise)!!

Great vibes for a drink Xmas day , great cocktails , special mention to Ciara ? Lovely Italian lady behind the bar she was fantastic!

The food tasted good but the portion size of my main course which was turkey with all the trimmings was very disappointing.

Luke is a God among men. I hope that as medical technology improves that he is able to live forever and continue to make the world a wonderful place to live. My expectations might be a little high, but I'd be satisfied if he got paid a lot more money

Our server, Luke was absolutely wonderful. He was very attentive and took care of everything we asked for. I fully enjoyed every aspect of the dining experience. The sticky toffee pudding was particularly delicious.

Great atmosphere and service. Luke was an incredible server

Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmare - went to the Limehouse restaurant for our compact Christmas party on Friday afternoon. Seemed to us like that had ran out of the steam from the day before and didn’t seem interested in looking after us. Poor wine selection with desired options not available. The ones that were available had low stock. One of our party is coeliac but when asked for a gluten free menu this wasn’t available. Instead the server ‘well you can have this without this’ etc etc. Not good enough. We ordered two steaks that were served to the wrong people. Sides that came out late and generally the wait staff did not seem interested in the slightest. To top it off at the end of the evening we asked for 8 Baby Guinness to only be told that they had run out of Kahlua. Really not a good experience for a restaurant carrying such a good reputation and name.

This restaurant boasts a fantastic location, amazing food bursting with flavor, fair prices, and a welcoming, attentive staff. Truly a dining experience to remember!

Went for a dinner and drinks with my husband. I was really happy to find a vegan option, the burger was outstanding. It was our first time at one of Ramseys places and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff was really nice as well. We have been taken care of by Jan, so special thanks to him, everything was perfect. Will come back, when in London

The location is great, some of the food was good but overall super underwhelming. I had the famous Ramsay Beef Wellington and found it quite bland (not sure if they even wrapped it in prosciutto/parma ham, but it could just be their recipe). I found that the calamari was pretty soggy despite being one of my favourite starters. The scotch egg and desserts were good (had the brownie and sticky toffee pudding) so no complaints there. It ending up costing just under £180 for two of us for 2 starters, shared main for 2 and 2 desserts, no alcohol. This was the cost after I noticed that I was accidentally charged an extra £10 for the beef wellington (initially charged £120). Our bill also included a 15% gratuity, which I thought was a bit outrageous as we're not Yanks. Even though it's "optional" it's not really in good faith to not pay it. Anyways, I don't think that I'd go back and honestly wouldn't really recommend going there for dinner and getting the beef wellington. Staff were friendly enough though. I think a fair price to have paid for my evening would have been about £100-£110 in complete honesty.

It's a great location with a wonderful view and very nice food

Very unsatisfactory- it appeared to be chaos when we arrive- we waited for 10 minutes for someone to take us to a table then left and when to The Grapes pub which was warm, cheery and with a better river view

Underwhelming food, overcooked meat, cold starters… Atmosphere good.

Great lunch time! Celebrating my friend graduation today and Bsk Limehouse is between one of my favourite places! Thanks cheff Eorela and the team!

Great Restaurant.. All dishes I have tried are perfect and delicious. Service is excellent. The view is amazing.

First time being at this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was excellent. Thank you Daniel!

The place was not full but the service took a very long time despite this. My companion thought the waiter smelled strongly of sweat. The meat was served without being asked about side dishes, so no sauce or vegetables, just a steak and fries. The fried "salt and pepper squid" was not crispy and hot but dry and lukewarm. Fish and chips were without salt, but salt was only brought by the waiter when it was almost ready. All in all, Ramsay should come here and try, it was way below the level you've come to know him for on TV at least.

Delicious fish and chips, though maybe 10% too expensive for what it was. Service was great and friendly. Music was god-awful: loud reggae versions of ‘Deck the Halls’. I know Christmas is looming, but the vibe was off.

Lovely food. Friendly and professional staff. Very nice view.

The service was excellent. Delicious cuisine. Cozy place.

Had lunch here two days in a row. Great service and lovely ceasar salad and then poke bowl. Thanks for looking after me

Food was delicious, service a little slow though

I went there I think 4 days ago or so, with my family and as usual we loved it, the food is always good, and the service was amazing! Jian did such a great job with everything he did, even practicing a bit of Spanish! I will definitely keep coming here Ps: please restock the tokaji 🥹 Amazing place and people ❤️

We just ate at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Limestone during our London trip after a Sorted Food YouTube video recommandation. The meat was a bit overcooked so the staff happily and rapidly made one anew, which was personally brought by the chef with their apologies and attentions. Apart from this little misfortune, the starters and mains were excellent, quickly served and beautifully warm which was really enjoyable. Thanks again to the staff and especially Jan/Ian (apologies for the spelling) for his kindness, good service and French expressions. Really good address to taste typical English dishes.

Enjoyable lunch, looking out over the Thames. Not as expensive as I thought.

One of the best restaurants we've been to. Staff we're amazing. Lovely looking over the Thames while drinking great cocktails. And food was great too. Highly recommend

View of the Thames and great food and service.

Totally over rated, burger was dry and tasteless. No ice bucket for our Prosecco had to ask twice, one of the glasses had a chip. Dessert was lovely but it was just a brownie nothing special. Expected so much more very disappointed .

Looking for a place for dinner late on a Sunday evening and this place popped up. No idea it was a Gordon Ramsay restaurant until we walked up. I ordered the Tangerine Spice Berry Soda and the Courgette and Basil Pasta and was very happy with both. The only sad part of my meal was when I finished plate. Leaving with a full stomach and a happy heart.

I went for a nice dinner with my boyfriend and the night was beyond incredible. The food was amazing, but what really stood out was the impeccable customer service. We were greeted by Greta who was very warm and inviting as soon as walked through the door. As for the food, we were looked after by Saad who had some incredible food and cocktail recommendations. The pesto lasagne was a dream. It was my first night around the Limehouse canals and the conversations with Greta and Saad really made our night fantastic. They were so friendly, made us laugh, and we had an amazing time and our best date yet. Thank you sooo so much to the wonderful staff for a sublime evening. What a night. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, everything were perfect and I cant wait to go back!

Fantastic Sunday evening food watching the sun set over the City.

Such a great evening we had! We've been looked after by Saad, who was very friendly, but as well very profesional and with a good knowledge about the menu! Amazing venue and beautiful views! We will return!

Great experience! Greta and Ellyes, thank you for the atmosphere, you’re awesome!

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! I visited with my partner after eyeing up the place for a while and have to say - it was amazing. Food was top notch, the GFC burger was so tasty and a generous portion too. Cocktails were also sublime. And THE SERVICE. Honestly, possibly the best service I’ve ever had - staff were incredibly friendly and you can just tell they love what they do. Big shout out to Ellyes especially who provided our table with outstanding and friendly service that I’ll remember for a very long time. If you’re on the fence about trying this place - DO IT. I’ll definitely be back. 😁

The food was delicious, great atmosphere. Our waitor Ellyes was so friendly and helpful, he was very considerate of our dietary requirements and changes to our dishes, and made us feel really at home here!

We just dropped in for a couple of drinks and sat in the bar area which was pretty empty. There were a few tables occupied with diners in the restaurant. Drinks were a little expensive, service was very good and the atmosphere was nice.

Ellyes is probably one of the best waiter I’ve had during my time in London! Service and food was amazing! 10/10 for sure!

Great place with a lovely view. Food is so good and Ellyes was absolutely amazing!

I and my fiancé came for dinner last night around 8:30pm on Friday 18/10/24 to celebrate our engagement. I ordered roast cod cost over £20+ and it’s was disgusting salty, very disappointed because I was very hungry and I expected Gordon Ramsay restaurant would have professional chef to cook much better than myself, I told the manager there and she came back and told us they tried it and agreed it’s was very salty and only took £8+ off our bill when the roast cid dish was £20+ and ruin our night. 2ndly: me and my fiancé are not happy with the new waiter because when my fiancé finish his red wine and waiter asked if he want another and is the wine taste nice? My fiancé replied “wine taste nice but I don’t want to order another.” And then the waiter replied “that’s mean the wind not nice?” This comment made my fiancé shockingly stunt of disgusted because he has never have this rubbish comment from a waiter before. Then the same new waiter came and asked us if we want hot drinks after our dessert? I replied that the manager already came to take our order for hot drink and it’s not come yet. And the waiter replied “yeah I can see that!” I find that’s very rude comment and he need more training before come out to serve customers. He asked us and we just replied the update and he replied rudely like that. Seriously the food and the service really disappointed us, for us to chose special to our engagement. Not great night and ruin our celebration.

The restaurant offers fantastic river views and a pleasant atmosphere, though it can be quite noisy due to the glass walls and ceiling, which amplify the sound of 50 conversations at once. Some carpeting would significantly improve the acoustics. The service was adequate, but the food was rather mediocre.

We had such a lovely time. Our server was Ellyes and he took very good care of us. Thanks to him we felt comfortable and very welcomed. We ordered the gorden ramsey fish and chips and the bread street kitchen burger. These dishes were delicious. The cocktails were also made on point. The location is really beautiful with a view of the themse. We will absolutely come back

Lovely light meal with cod pieces and Caesar salad. Well priced

Came here for a pre-show meal (Gipsy Kings at The Troxy). Steak cooked to perfection, daughter found the naan with her curry too oily. In terms of service, we had a bi-polar experience. Initial service was slow, waited to order and food took a long time to come. Due to a busy lunchtime service, there were no roasts available, but nobody thought to tell us until the point of ordering. When it came to desserts, we were served by Greta who was a stand-out star and displayed gold standard customer service skills. Again some items we had ordered were 'off', we were comped our desserts with no quibble. All in all, a good experience that could have been great had the serving team shown better cohesion. One of the other ladies serving had quite a haughty and dismissive demeanour. The wonderful Greta made a substantial regain and made us feel welcome and we left happy customers.

Excellent food and service with a gorgeous riverside view, highly recommended

Lovely restaurant, great service from staff and the food was fabulous, incredibly tasty and a great selection of food to choose from. They are also super lovely to toddlers and children, with kids eat free and we had our 18 month old with us and they were great with her which was a lovely relief.

We were at a friend's birthday in this restaurant. I really liked the cuisine, the atmosphere, the friendly staff. We will definitely go here again))) I recommend it

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! The fish was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.The presentation of the dish was beautiful. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I can’t wait to come back!

Amazing location next to the River Thames with beautiful views. The food was very tasty, especially the desserts❤️

We had high expectations for Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen and Bar, being fans of both Ramsay and *Kitchen Nightmares*. Given his expertise on TV, we expected a top-notch experience. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The beef wellington, which we were excited to try, was just okay—nothing special. The presentation was very good. The Caesar salad with chicken was also underwhelming. Overall, a bit disappointing for such a highly regarded name..

A five star restaurant in a fantastic riverside Location. The food was amazingly delicious and service was great too.

Went we in and no one was there to greet/seat us, so waited around for someone to come out of the back. We went in early evening and the restaurant was empty when we arrived. We took our order, starters and mains. Our waiter was nice, but food service was VERY SLOW, an hour plus after we arrived, we still hadn’t received our mains (we ordered steak and chips and fish and chips). In the end we asked for them to be put in takeaway containers (pictures below of how it was packed). Food was ok, however not worth the money. Wouldn’t recommend.

Amazing location, amazing food, amazing experience!

Came for a Beef Wellington experience. Location is nice with the river view. Overpriced and mediocre quality food. Beef was over roasted on top and a bit tough to chew inside. Everything was simply not tasty. Waiters seem polite, but not really helpful and engaged.

Gordon takes a decent boozer and creates a restaurant with bang average food at a ridiculous markup. We can only pray he does a Jamie Oliver.

Really nice place and great food.

Great atmosphere in the conservatory area, we went for dinner with a large group. The waiting staff were wonderful. However it is a true travesty that Gordon Ramsey thinks his name is enough to serve sub-standard bland, tiny portions of basic dishes. More power to the independent pubs of London with hearty, tasty grub. If you’re looking for tasty food, run far friends.

What a beautiful location and very reasonable prices for a GR restaurant .Service was great, we had the lovely Luisa. The poke bowl was yummy,my steak was a bit too fatty n chewy but was good.

My partner and I went here for dinner on Sunday and we were sadly disappointed. We were told that the Sunday Roast had ended a couple of hours prior and was no longer being served so we both ordered medium rare steak and wine. We then proceeded to both be served the wrong wine entirely followed by steaks that were medium the whole way through as well as so gristly and fatty that despite being one of my partners favourite dishes, he ended up having to leave a large proportion on his plate as he struggled to even get his knife through it. To make matters worse, we then saw two separate tables being served Sunday roasts shortly afterwards. After our meal it took quite a while for the bill to be brought out after it was requested despite not being very busy, and then we were asked to calculate the exact value of our percentage tip on the spot while the waitress stood there holding the card reader. I'm sure the rest of the menu is lovely as some of the other dishes did sound nice, but I would either avoid the steak or simply visit a proper steakhouse instead. And maybe don't ask for wine either, as it's not an insignificant amount to spend just to end up drinking the wrong thing.

This used to be my favorite place in london when it was nice neighborhood resturant called “The Narrow” now the menu is mainstream n the taste is average. Service was poor too… it wasn’t even a busy evening.

Amazing atmosphere, Luisa was a very good hostess and food was great

Where do I even begin? My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with our experience at Bread Street Kitchen Limehouse! Almost a year ago, we stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant while out for a walk, and we instantly knew it was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. It felt like a sign, and it truly was the perfect choice. The organization and attention to detail were exceptional. At no point did I worry about anything going wrong—the whole day was seamless. With 90 guests, I was concerned about logistics, but the team was incredibly professional and handled everything with such care. The food exceeded our expectations, and the variety of options ensured everyone was happy. The staff was outstanding—friendly, fun, and blended right into the celebration while staying unobtrusive. Special shout-out to Alison, Luiza, Elle, Saad, Greta, Donatas, and Robert, who made the day unforgettable! The location, the venue, and the service were truly remarkable. We couldn’t be happier to have chosen Bread Street Kitchen Limehouse for our special day. Thank you for everything—you made our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!

Great service (thanks Luisa) and stunning location. This is a gastropub, so set expectations for that, though the food is all a cut above that standard. Terrific wine list too

Great Sunday roast, service and wine, only downside was in the glass conservatory overlooking the Thames was like a greenhouse on a not so hot day, aircon non effective so was sweating throughout the meal

Anniversary Lunch ( 25 years). We were given a voucher for a 3 course meal for 2. So we used it to celebrate our sliver wedding anniversary. Food & service was amazing. Absolutely wonderful view of the themes.

The manager I think Rafael he was very nice, genuine and welcoming us upon entry. Food was much enjoyed, we had steak and beef burger, the best burger I've eaten perhaps. The bill was also reasonable around 70 incl drinks n service charge for 2. Will definitely come back.

We had the best experience in this place. The food was amazing, the location is perfect and the staff was so lovely. We tried the Sunday roast and the beef & Ale pie and both were amazing. Thanks to Rafael for making us feel welcome and for being so kind.

I had I really nice lunch today. The venue is really good, with Thames river views, the quality of the food was outstanding and the service was really attentive, a big shout goes to Rafael for making me and my friend feel welcomed, and for adding happiness to our lunch.

Had lunch today at (I still call it The Narrow) Bread Street Kitchen. Outstanding service from Raphael and his team, food was fantastic and the views are still incredible. 5*

Ellyes is the best! Then is the Gordon!

The worst meal I’ve ever had out. The food is very poor quality for such a premium price. We were shocked they’ve gotten away with charging so much for so little. £17 for bangers and mash there was a palm sized amount of mash and sausages which were far worse then those that could be bought from a supermarket. The £15 Caesar salad has no chicken, 4 anchovies and honestly just consisted of only lettuce smothered in standard mayonnaise. There was nothing else to it. Irony is that it’s the type of restaurant that would appear on Gordon Ramseys Hell’s Kitchen. The whole menu is extremely underwhelming and basic pub food done to a poor quality.

This makes me very upset...there was an 'optional' 15% ...(not 10 or 12%...15%! ) service charge on the bill....sure you could have it removed but people are not like that. THIS IS NOT USA..... put the prices up & pay your staff properly.... Apart from that it was OK

Nice meal overlooking the Thames. Only problem had to ask for the bill 3 times

Had high expectations but received low results… food was average, service was average (tried to take our bill twice). Was a shame because the spot the restaurant is in is great but everything else needs a bit more work :/

Chic Gordon Ramsay place sitting right on the Thames. We had the veggie smash burgers with Koffmann fries - and sticky toffee pudding to finish. It was the perfect day to sit somewhere nice and have some well-prepared food. All very clean, elegant and tastefully done - we enjoyed ourselves enormously.

What a lovely way to spend an evening in London! The riverside views and a warm environment are just the beginning. The bar offers a creative variety of cocktails & spirits. And the non alcoholic drinks are a healthy alternative treat. For dinner, I enjoyed a delicious Caesar Salad with very fresh lettuce & the most wonderful marinated anchovies. The Butter Chicken is tender and flavorful. And the Sticky Toffee Pudding is rich and comforting. Highly recommend!

Made a reservation to eat here on Sunday evening, August 18. The location on the Thames is beautiful, especially at dusk. It was not busy inside and the place we were assigned was not ideal because of a pillar that was a bit awkward. The dishes consisted of Fish & Chips (2x) and a burger. The quality of the food was fine. In our opinion, the service could have been a little better. Not that it was bad. It took a long time before we received the menu, then to order. And the payment also took some time. It's not all that bad, sometimes it makes all the difference how you experience it.

It's a lovely restaurant, great service, helpful, friendly staff. Food is well presented and delicious. The conservatory area is a pleasant, understated area for dining.

Cocktails were lovely, starters weren’t the best but the main meals made up for it. Great atmosphere and lovely service and was a bonus that it was dog friendly

Too expensive Very clean Slow service Nice view

Wonderful Saturday dinner. We sat in the conservatory with a beautiful view of the Thames. Super dog friendly. Amazing food. Rafael was an absolute superstar, could not have asked for more. Thank you. See you soon!

Fabulous location, super friendly staff and great food with an awesome view

Very nice decor to this establishment, the barman was very good with his service and friendly, nice pint of Guinness and my partner had a lovely sticky toffee pudding, only annoying thing I can comment on was as we left a woman behind the bar questioned whether we had paid for our food and drink.i found this rather rude..

At the very beginning we waited a very long time for someone to come to the table and say hello. We had to stop someone to order. Our water was never refilled during the service. The glasses stood empty. I ordered a lemon swizzle which was too sweet at the beginning but after mixing it became too sour and bitter. I ordered a poke bowl which was good but I think there was very little rice for a large portion. My husband ordered a Sunday roast which was delicious but unfortunately the plate was missing green beans which we noticed on the table next to us, the portion was also smaller than the table next to us.

It’s not bad, but you feel that it’s overpriced for sure. Service is not good at all. And keep in mind that they charge 15% by default. You also can expect delays when waiting for the order. Meh

The Royal Foundation of St Katherine is a 10-minute walk from the hotel. My son and I enjoyed the hamburger menu and all the food was of excellent quality. The atmosphere was good and also a nice view over the Thames. The restaurant bears the name of the well-known chef Gordon Ramsey. It is more expensive than normal, but that's not the case in London. Especially if you eat on the Thames. Even think that it will be much more expensive in London itself.

It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The food was not tasty or delicious at all, we ordered appetizeres, and they were very bad, any resturant makes wings a lot better than the ones they served, and the culiflower was also below normal. the steaks were also below normal, they were normal to a point where I can make a lot better in my own home, better by far. The salads were also below average, any resturant is better than this one. When I asked them to clean my table because it was dirty, they took a tissue with no water, and wiped the remaining food of the previous customer in the table, and made it even worse, it was really a very bad experience, and when we ordered beef wellington in our reservation, which was about 2 months ago, we discovered that they did not have it for us, we flew from another country for this experience and it was very bad.

Terrible Service and Overpriced Food I recently visited Bread Street Kitchen and had a very disappointing experience. Despite the place being empty, it took over an hour to prepare our order of cod bites, chicken wings, and a salad. The food was just okay, but the salad was a rip-off – £17 for a tiny portion with only four lettuce leaves and two anchovies. When I asked about the delay for the rest of our order, the waitress informed us it would be another 20 minutes for two burgers and was not nice at all. She told me I should have informed her if we were in a rush, to which I replied that I wasn’t expecting the food to take so long. I’ve had much better salads at takeout places for a fraction of the price. This experience felt like a scam and I won't be returning.

Went for a meal with friends nice location had a burger thought it would be special dry and taste less very disappointing

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant. The waiting time was unbelievably long, and when we finally got our food, it was not worth the wait. The steak was poorly cooked and lacked flavor. The smashed burger was equally disappointing, with a soggy bun and bland taste. Despite ordering a full meal, I left the restaurant still feeling hungry. The prices are ridiculously high for the quality of food and service provided. I can honestly say, "Gordon Ramsay, I can cook better!" Overall, the service was subpar, and the food quality was terrible. I expected much better and will not be returning. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements.

More than twice the price of a normal bar - two small glasses of wine and a small orange juice was over £34

Beautiful view and very elegantly decorated restaurant. The food tasted excellent and the price was absolutely right! Worth a recommendation.

Lovely location and great food.
