The River Cafe

untitled

 

The River Cafe has made quite a name for itself with its healthy, tasty food, inspiring atmosphere and star

studded fans like mum Gwyneth Paltrow.

 

The Café brings the flavours of Italy to London, emphasising the finest ingredients, and an all-Italian wine list.

 

Its menu adapts to the changing seasons, and what is available in the markets and each day there are two

seperate menus for lunch and dinner. Signature dishes include: wild mushroom risotto; Dover sole smoked in the

restaurant’s own wood stove; and rich Italian desserts including lemon almond cake or the chocolate

“Nemesis” cake.

 

Conveniently located on the north bank of the Thames in Hammersmith, the restaurant was built in a former

Duckhams oil storage facility, which was customized by architect Lord Rogers to feature unique designs with

a modern, open-plan kitchen, garden and views of the River Thames.

 

With a play area in the middle of the dining room, the restaurant is 100% child friendly. Children can be seen

running around in the garden, exploring the organic vegetable patch and enjoying the yummy food, all the

makings of a nice meal out with the kids in London town.

 

You can find The River Cafe on the Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, London, W6 9HA,

020 7386 4200.
