Embankment Cafe in City of London, Westminster

"I visited this cafe yesterday and had a pleasant experience. The cafe has a nice, relaxed vibe with comfortable seating. I tried their cappuccino and a croissant, and both were decent. The coffee had a good flavor, though I would have preferred it a bit stronger. The croissant was fresh and buttery, which was nice. The staff were friendly, and service was quick. It’s a great spot to grab a coffee and take a break. I'll definitely stop by again if I'm in the area."

I love this cafe staff and food is soo nice

To top it all off, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I can’t wait to come back for another meal!

“If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has a fantastic selection of dishes, and we loved everything we tried. We only had good comments about the food. I can’t wait to come back again!” The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.

Such an amazing place I had dinner with my friend. food was so delicious and the staff was also very polite and nice .

I recently visited Embankment Bistro Cafe. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of charm and sophistication. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The bar team, especially the incredibly talented and friendly bar girls, went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm created a welcoming vibe that made me feel like a valued guest. They were knowledgeable about the menu, quick to recommend the perfect drinks, and their warm smiles truly added to the experience. The food and drinks were fantastic, but it’s the incredible team behind the bar that makes this place shine. I’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to tell my friends about this hidden gem. Great job, Embankment Bistro Café—your team is the heart of your success!💕

They provide very good food and drinks i have been there one day ago and their customer service is also fantastic and next time i will take my friends there to enjoy the time with the beautiful view of garden.

The food was amazing. I love it. Highly recommended.

Amazing service and food is so nice! The portions are very generous 😀 Lovely place and just a minute walk from the statuon and lovely river views Highly recommend this place

The food and service were great, I recommend it to everyone

I discovered this restaurant by chance and I was not disappointed. impeccable and fast service, the super nice waitress and special mention for HASAN which is a real ray of sunshine 🤩 I will come back it was delicious I took the traditional fish and chips for my daughter it was too good and fresh and the fries delicious. the prices are right for London I recommend in addition the restaurant is beautiful with a very nice terrace in the heart of the greenery

Called in on Sunday morning after a night out. Can’t fault the place. Even opened a little earlier to accommodate us.

Fresh veggies, kind waiters, nice atmosphere in the park. Coffee ok. Eggs so so, service very slow, high price

Not been to the cafe for a couple of years so was amazed to see the refurb. The owners have done an amazing job. The restaurant area is well seated, great atmosphere and the food is just as good as it always was. My wife and I love to visit for breakfast (bunch). The staff were very friendly. I look forward to our next London visit and another awesome breakfast (brunch).

Customer service worst ever!!! Do not recomend! Shocking experience!!! I sat in today pretty much hungry, ordered a tagliatelle with chiken and mushroom in creamy sauce. I was waiting excited for the food, and the waiter did bring me a totally different pasta with tomato. I can't eat tomato. He said i ordered this one for sure, I did explained him i know what I ordered, that has no tomato in for sure. He did show me his smartphone with the order placed, and i had to say i did not put that order in your system, i know what i ordered. He hesitated, but asked me if I want tagliatelle? I said yes, as I wanted it in first place. So I waited but the food did not came, instead another person who later told me he is the manager, and strait away asked me to leave. I asked him completely surprised why? And he said because you ordered a food and sending back, so they need to trow away. (Beleive me if it was not with tomato, I would eat, as I don't like food to be wasted. Who's waiting for the food arrive and send it back for fun? ) I told him I ordered tagliatelle, and it's not my fault that the waiter did not get it right. I still want to eat, and not this is the way you should treat customer. He did call the waiter and ask him if I order tagliatelle, and off course he said no I ordered penne.  He said now the food needs to trow away. I said it still not my fault and it's very bad customer services to ask me leave instead of take the order right, as I still willing to pay for my food if its the right one. Than he asked me if I want to order the tagliatelle.  That time I was so shocked, even my hand were shaking, and I lost my mood to eat anything.I was so nervous, i've been never told to leave in any restaurant. ( I did not behaved wrong, or given attitude.)I said I will take your first advice and leave instead. While I was packing my bag together, he made a photo of me. I asked him to delete the photo, and he denied it while he holding his phone in hand towards me, so I guess he made a video. I don't understand for what, to put me on banned list? Not necessarily. I won't go back ever, and suggest to everyone to avoid this place where the liar waiter has bigger value than a customer. I left the place with a promiss of review, so here I am, sharing my horrible experience. Unfortunately on the food I can not comment, but on the photos from previous review that tagliatelle looks nice. As I see the management only reply for the good commenst, so I don't expect any, but if the gentleman who said he is the manager and he really is, than there are major problems. If not, I suggest to train staff more how to do good customer service.

It was a great evening at this fantastic place. Their coffee tastes so nice thanks to the cute bartender Bishnu. All their staff were so nice and kind . Very good service I will defenately visit here again because of the environment. Last but not the least server Hasan was a good man and very good story teller for his good service I had to post this big review.

Viktorija makes the best cocktails.

This used to be a straight down the line cafe. It now seems to have turned into a hybrid cafe/cocktail bar... but it still serves a very welcome cup of tea on a long walk around embankment!

Very tasty salmon. We had a wonderful time with a beautiful view on the garden.

I had a Sirloin steak and Salmon fillet, it was amazing. They have excellent service, Hasan served us. He is a fantastic man. Good place for friends and family day out.

An absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be coming back!

The food and drinks were fantastic, with great attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. The cosy atmosphere made the experience even better.

We had the most delightful experience! We ordered the charcuterie board and a bottle of wine, and both were absolutely amazing. The flavors were perfectly paired, and the presentation was beautiful. The cozy atmosphere of the location made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and tasty evening!

I had an incredible dining experience! The pasta was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection with rich flavors that left me wanting more. The cocktails were equally impressive, expertly crafted and delicious. To top it all off, the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I can’t wait to come back for another meal!

Great for a stroll and rest to a nice cafe

I am so happy to find there , they have lovely garden inside park, here is like secret haven , the food is delicious staffs are soo cute ( especially Victoria;) thanks guys for the good hospitality ♥️

a wonderful spot for a lunch and cosmo. Vicky Victoria’s drinks are unmatched!! So fruity and crisp and by god do they give you a buzz not to mention her customer service skills make you feel so welcome and happy to be there!! Will most certainly be coming back ❤️

This place was a delight!, Quieter and prettier surroundings than some better known wine bars in the area with good food and drinks.

This is a hidden gem! Stylish indoor restaurant and a very pleasant outdoor terrace. Great food, service and the friendliest staff who checked several times from arrival to leaving that we were happy with our meals, required anything else or just to be friendly. Thank you will definitely visit again.

Great breakfast and the staff were incredible! Next time I visit London I’m coming back!

It’s been recently refurbished to a very high standard the food is good tho London prices let down by excessive loud music which is a real pity

This place is cute and relaxing. I had a drink and salad and both tasted well. Service was great as well. Victoria was attentive, friendly, and nice. Would highly recommend stopping here.

Everything was of top standard, nothing too much trouble, the decor throughout was lovely, clean and well maintained. We had an amazing dinner at and the staff were fantastic, warm and welcoming. Especially one of the bartenders Viktorija, her delicious cocktails really kept us going! The food was impeccable, delicious and gorgeously presented. The music was fun and playful and the atmosphere was convivial and inviting. We will certainly be back to celebrate with them again!

We didn't have any food, we had a drink , friendly staff

Amazing atmosphere,nice cocktails and music, thank you for Viktorija the service was absolutely fantastic!!!

Every thing about this Cafe is very good. You are greeted in a very welcoming and friendly way. I enjoy the light meals and the atmosphere is very good. I recommend a visit and enjoy

Nice food, fantastic ambience and great staff! Hassan was very welcoming, friendly excellent customer service. Hassan was very helpful! He’s an asset to this Cafe! I will recommend this to all my friends and family!

We were looked after so well by Victoria! Fantastic outdoor terrace!

I recently visited Embankment Bistro Café with my boyfriend, and we had a wonderful experience. The girl who served us, Viktoria, was incredibly friendly and attentive to our table throughout the meal. She made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel really welcome. Her warm service definitely added to the overall experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

Victoria make such a nice cocktails and she is wonderful friendly person. Wonderful place to hang out.

Very nice cafe in a small park in a quiet area and close to the Thames, delicious food and friendly staff.

First time in London. All of the bars and restaurants I’ve been to have been subpar service. 0 personality or hospitality from workers. Victoria however, is the most amazing person I’ve met so far. She made our experience here fun and memorable. This is the one spot I’ve actually had a great time being at. That’s all because of Victoria and her sparkling personality. Thanks for being awesome! We’ll be back every single time.

Perfect, but a bit expensive still

Very lovery servic&friendy2 of your staff took selffy for us thank u. We the.long table out side late afternoon we al had a lovey afternoon in your park&caff

Overpriced food and extra charge for service which is bad af/non-present. Do not visit!!

I so wanted to like this place. It’s in a beautiful park in central London. I had visions of a German beer Garden style easy-going quick service Café. It’s not that the staff aren’t helpful and lovely it’s just that they are too overbearing. I don’t need thousands of explanations and checking if I’m alright when I’m just having a drink or a quick bite to eat. There was real confusion with the drinks, and what the difference is between low alcohol IPA and lager (which really confused them for some reason). The range of drinks is very average and pretty pricey. I also asked for a cup of tea but apparently nobody is allowed to have hot drinks after 4 o’clock because, well who knows? The worst offender was the food. Unfortunately, it’s in central London where they don’t have to try so the salad and the burger my friends ordered were massively average and very expensive for what they were. What really upsets me about restaurants and places that serve average food is that it costs no more to cook average food than it does make great food. The ingredients are just the same. We also ordered some chocolate cake. When it arrived, it was clearly a factory made cake, but even even worse, it was completely stale and inedible. This place should be absolutely packed out every sunny evening. Instead, it’s just a very average place to have a drink and eat. I would recommend it if you want a pint or a quick drink (unless you want tea or coffee after 4pm!) in the evening but for anything else, go elsewhere.

Perfect place for an aperitif. Got some aperitif spritz and olives. Good atmosphere and friendly staff makes this place a cute spot for a few fun hours

Sneak service charges into your bill without your knowledge. I don't mind paying for service as long as it's visible

It great place to chill out or celebrate birthday party. Staff was very friendly specially manager Kubilay was looking after us well. Highly recommended!

Best place to gather up with friends!! We had excellent time. Waiters were so helpful and attentive.The vibe in garden is unique in the heart of London. Highly recommended !!

amazing location and amazing stuff, especially the mustache guy was so kind 🥂

Lovely! Perfect spot for a good weather. They serve aperol or pimms pitcher which is amazing for groups.

It’s nice but the burgers are very simple (don’t come for burgers, it’s not worth it). The fries are good 🇧🇪. The breads with toppings are good and fresh (for that, it’s worth it!)

Best aperols in the area, great team, lovely atmosphere, great outdoor space!

More atmosphere on mars. They apparently can’t afford a kettle after 4pm for a cup of tea.

Beautiful cafe in a quiet park. Great breakfast food &drinks, and friendly service

Amazig service with Hasan and wonderful drinks with bartender Viktorija! Will be coming back for sure!!!

A wonderful garden café, a little away from the hustle and bustle, especially for breakfast. Best coffee so far in London. Gladly again…

My husband and I are visiting from the United States and, after a day of walking around London, needed a spot to rest and eat. We happened across Embankment Bistro Cafe. We are so glad we did! We had delicious fish and chips, exceptionally friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere dining in the perfect weather under the trees on the patio. I highly recommend this wonderful gem of a bistro!

Very nice little place in the middle of embankment garden. We enjoy some nibbles and a very good aperol sprits. Service was excellent. Really really nice place to relax and enjoy a drink.

The waiters were good, but the beer is hot and the wine is not tasting how it should. It tastes quite vinegary. We spoke with the manager but he kept saying that he could do nothing do to help us. He didn't offer any alternatives or anything else to fix the problem. Will not be coming back.

Been here three times now and had to complain every time. Once for my Club Sandwich being soggy white bread not toasted and only having a lettuce leaf in one section and for the Aperol Spritz being flat. Second time for the Aperol Spritz being flat and third time - guess what, the Aperol Spritz was flat. The manager got quite aggressive when we disputed it. Not sure we will go back.

Almost a little insider tip. Who would expect such a nice bistro here in the park? In the best weather we were able to get a table here in the evening - without a long wait - and were looked after by a very nice and attentive service. Despite the hustle and bustle, we felt very well looked after here. Drinks and food were good and the price-performance ratio was also good. We were able to end the evening very comfortably here and would be happy to come back when the opportunity arises. A nice change compared to the very full bars on the main streets.

Quiet and relaxed at 9:30am Saturday morning, we had eggs Benedict and it tasted great, service was good and polite and on a sunny morning this is a beautiful place to eat or have a coffee. You have to go 🙌🏼

had a great time, staff are lovely. will definitely be coming back.

Where you can still find a table in the evening. Delicious dishes and friendly service

The beer platter was really good.

It is my first time here. One of the best places Ive been in central London. Lovely staff, wonderful cocktails and great food! 10/10

A really great friendly place on Embankment - loads of room outside for drinks overlooking the park surrounded by beautiful trees. All the staff are attentive including Ed who looked after us very well. Would thoroughly recommend

We had a lovely evening there last week. Very helpful staff and fantastic venue and atmosphere - I would highly recommend.

My twin brother and I had a long day layover in London last week and we were walking around London for the first time when we discovered the Embankment Bistro Cafe! We were immediately drawn in when we saw the lovely outdoor patio which was covered in cute tables with cushioned chairs, bright orange umbrellas, and trees and green grass lining the perimeter. We decided to go inside and were so happy to be greeted by the kindest waiters who were so smily and welcoming!! As we walked inside we saw a large glass case filled with stunning pastries and desserts that were so so excited to try, as well as a menu with all of our favorite drinks! We were seated outside at a beautiful table with super comfy couch chairs, right next to the most colorful summery flowers and in the warm sunshine, we were loving it so much already :) Then our waitress Semin came over to help us and she was absolutely delightful. She gave us all of her favorite recommendations and was so attentive and sweet our entire stay! We tried the Pimms and Lemonade and loved it and then had a few draft beers which were cold and delicious! We also tried the Tiramisu which is my twins favorite and he said it was one of the best he’s ever tried! While we spoke with Semin about our travels, the manager or owner Mez came over to talk with us and we all had a lovely conversation! We were going to walk around London for a few hours after but decided to just hang out at Embankment Bistro Cafe because of how great the vibes were! I recommend this place to everyone visiting and living in London! Thank you so much again Semin and Mez for our very enjoyable morning in London, you made our whole day and we can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing garden bar! Didn’t get food.

Was such a lovley experience. Had Edd who went above and beyond to make sure everything was great for us. Would definitely recommend.

Ed was great! Very very friendly and kind!

Just had a cup of tea but what I saw was very impressive

Spritz drinks are refreshing, the jalapeño poppers sre perfectly spicy and crispy with a melted middle cream cheese. The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant. Highly recommend

So friendly Hasan was the best! I enjoyed it very much and will come back

Such a cute place to have a nice meal. Waiters were really welcoming and the ambient is beautiful!

Called in for a cup of coffee after a on the boat to Greenwich only to be told that they stop serving hot drinks from 4.30pm which is absolutely ridiculous for a cafe that also serves meals.

Very good fish n chips, nice big portion

Great cafe in the centre of London. Staff are polite and friendly. The food was very nice. Good surrounding and offers scooping ice cream as well as lollies. Would highly recommend if you are in the area.

This owner is selfish, rude person. He doesn’t care about people only about his own profit.

Really great place, a hidden gem. Delicious food at great prices. Lots of cake choices. Servers are friendly and the place has a great chilled atmosphere.

Lovely garden cafe. Very friendly staff. I had a decaffeinated coffee £4.72 and they had a disabled toilet A* for service

Embankment Bistro Cafe is a charming spot for a casual meal. The menu offers a tasty selection of classic bistro dishes with a modern twist, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Service is friendly and attentive, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or a leisurely lunch, Embankment Bistro Cafe is a delightful neighborhood gem worth checking out.

Lovely place great food good drinks and great staff.

Went here last Saturday on way to evening meal. Nice location especially in summer. Prosecco arrived in plastic cups (very small) for £8 each We asked for glasses but was told they had run out. Plenty of people around being served their drinks in glasses. I know it was the Pride festival but disappointed.

We waited over 30 minutes for our (overpriced) drink order (4 ciders and a mixed drink). When they finally arrived the ciders had ice in (why????) and were incredibly watery, and the mixer was not included in the mixed drink. Who’s drinking straight vodka with a piece of lime at 4pm? Overrated tourist trap, would not recommend. Serves us well for grabbing pints in the Embankment!

Lovely atmosphere. A quiet and green space right in the heart of London. Relatively quiet and spacious, perfect for having a meeting or doing some work, unlike most cafes in London you can actually hear each other. Staff were kind and attentive. Big garden too! Would return.

The service was good, and the menu was satisfactory. However, I encountered a minor communication issue when ordering takeaway food from non-English-speaking staff

We stopped here on our way to Westminser and this was just the most adorable place. We went at about 9am on a Tuesday and my group was the only people inside. The benches were so cozy! We all loved our food! The pancakes were a smaller serving than what we expected, but nonetheless were delicious. We highly recommend the blueberry cheesecake. It tastes so fresh and wasn't overly sweet. The English Breakfast is filling if you're very hungry. The chicken and pesto sandwich is great if you are looking for a lighter and healthier meal.

Lovely picturesque, beautifully positioned venue. Stylish interior which benefits from front and rear chill sitting areas, and the staff care that you have a good time. I had a drink and had a lovely experience. Sometimes you stumble across hidden gem which just ticks the box. I will be returning, xx.

Loved the hospitality! The food was delicious, the owner and his daughter were so lovely and kind! Definitely coming again!

Why have I never been here before… great location to meet in central london. Lots of seating inside and out. Food and drink top notch. Also dog friendly. Love.

Very nice place to eat breakfast or lunch friendly and helpful staff with nice views of the park

Nice cafe, clean and friendly staff.

£4.90 for a small takeaway latte, tasted fine, but not worth the 25% more paid for it than other cafes in the city.

Excellent service, comfortable and restful setting. Thank you for a 5 star experience

Friendly staff and nice spot, but awful food. Burnt sausage, concrete inspired bacon and stale bread. The mushrooms tasted OK. Coffee tastes like it came from a machine rather than barista I would expect from the price. Disappointing as I love the location.

From a cafe to a café . The transformation is a joy to behold. The food is excellent, as is the service
