The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in England

I visited this venue recently and left feeling disappointed. While most of the drinks were priced within a typical range, I was shocked to be charged £11 for a single glass of Prosecco- a price that felt completely unjustified given the overall setting and service. When I politely questioned the price and asked to see a drinks menu, I was met with the dismissive response, “We are the drinks menu.” This lack of transparency is concerning, especially when charging premium prices. A simple drinks list—printed or digital—should be available to customers. The overall experience didn’t match the pricing. Staff lacked polish, character, and basic hospitality etiquette. If a venue is going to charge top-shelf prices, it should offer a setting and service to match—which this did not. The entrance was particularly unwelcoming, with bouncers dressed in plain black making the atmosphere feel more intimidating than upscale. One of them even made my wife feel uncomfortable with inappropriate glances and comments in another language. After that, we chose to move on to The Salthouse Hotel next door, where we received a much better experience. There, I enjoyed an Aperol Spritz a proper cocktail, and one that’s typically around £11—served with genuine hospitality in a far more refined environment. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be returning or recommending this venue. ---

My friend and I went to the Wharf, for lunch yesterday. It was a terrible experience. We ordered fish and chips, and steak and chips. The steak arrived first, and sat on the counter by the till as both waiters struggled to identify who the dish should go to. To put this into context, there were three occupied tables, including us. When they worked out it was for my friend it was brought over. We queried if it was still hot, the waiter responded with annoyance saying that of course it was. We countered saying we had watched it sit on the side. He said, ‘yeah, for less than a minute’. On we ploughed. We said ‘well, we’ve looking at it for 5 minutes, on the counter over there’. His response? ‘No you haven’t’. I then asked him to not argue with me. His response? ‘I’m not arguing’. Oh the irony. My friend asked for it to be taken back, and he grudgingly agreed. The same bit of meat returned 5 minutes later, and the only change was it was 5 minutes colder. She asked for another steak freshly cooked. My meal then arrived, which I ate alone. My friend’s meal arrived 15 minutes later, and it was finally hot and she ate it. However, she has texted me this morning that she started vomiting overnight. Presumably due to the meal, as she started feeling unwell once she was home and didn’t eat dinner. Have I mentioned the surly waitress who ignored me, then rolled her eyes repeatedly when I asked for condiments? Yeah, not a winning team. I suggest you don’t go there when there are loads of other options along the South Bank.

Comimos aquí antes de una noche en el O 2. El personal era muy servicial y amable. El servicio fue muy bueno y la comida deliciosa. Pensamos que era la mejor comida turca que habíamos comido. Fue un excelente comienzo para nuestra noche! Sin duda recomendaría comer aquí. .

We always love this place as is nice and the food is reasonably priced. Service is hot and miss though let me explain. Greeting staff nice, waiters and waitresses good but the servers who deliver the food always reach over you to deliver the plates etc rather than just walk around. Now it might be a small thing but think it’s the terribly rude and I can’t stand it. Service is very easy to get right and it’s super simple. I worry the management don’t bother to train people these days. Shame really.

This is my second stay at the Hotel du Vin in the last fortnight. The food in the Bistro has been consistently excellent both at breakfast and dinner. Equally so is the restaurant service which is attentive , caring and welcoming from all the staff. One member who really stands out is Alina who delivers superb customer service. Lovely very comfortable boutique hotel .

Delicious food. Visited twice within 3 days. Would highly recommend the pancakes or waffles. Good service. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only thing is I wish they were open longer and earlier as you could definitely go for an early breakfast or a late night treat.

Excellent service, amazing place!

Celebrando un cumpleaños especial. Excelente comida y el servicio de todo el personal, pero especialmente Bradley era amable y eficiente e hizo nuestra noche.

Vinimos para el asado del domingo y la comida era deliciosa. También pedimos 2 martinis de fruta de la pasión que también eran geniales. Qemal nos cuidó y se aseguró de que teníamos todo lo necesario de una manera atenta y amable. Definitivamente volveremos a visitar pronto!

Bonito pub, ambiente concurrido y buena elección de comida. Sin embargo, el servicio fue muy lento. Esperábamos mucho tiempo por nuestra comida, y entonces nadie apareció para ofrecer desierto de café. Literalmente tuve que ir al bar a pedir la cuenta.

The 3 things above what you have to score I didn't get chance. The carpark is the issue and how the pub make any money is beyond me. You have to pay for parking or put your reg down in the pub.so for the start the pub was closed and thr car park sign on how to pay is soooo confusing its crazy 🤪 so we ended up leaving all 5 of us who had come for drinks and dinner

Visited The Merry Monk through word of mouth. This little gem of a gastro pub needs to be celebrated. Owners were attentive to us all and the food was excellent. We all had different meals and all enjoyed our food.

La comida tardó en llegar. Parecía estar bien en ese momento, sin embargo, nos dio a mí y a mi pareja graves problemas estomacales al día siguiente. Causando diarrea duradera de 2 días y calambres para nosotros dos. No vayas.

Well not far from the car park after walking past loads of empty tables inside. We did ask to be moved and we were, so did not end up being as bad as it started.

ABDUL WAS VERY NICE AND MADE OUR EXPERIENCE REALLY GOOD
