I’m heading up to London for a meal in the next few weeks. Any suggestions for somewhere near Waterloo? Cuisine could be anything interesting. A friend has suggested the Goucho Grill, but it looks a bit dull to me, and also a touch pricey!

Cheers,

If you can make your way over to Leicester Sq way there is an awesome Bombay style cafe/restuarant called Dishoom.

There’s a few chain type restaurants along the South Bank. Good location for views etc, but food not all that special.

Instead I’d head for the Cut about 5 mins walk from the station in the opposite direction (Near The Old Vic Theatre)- The Anchor & Hope there is very good. Also a couple of pretty good Tapas places.

Walking downriver from the London Eye there is a restaurant on the first floor of the Oxo building called Tamesa (NOT the Oxo tower restaurant itself) where I had a truly amazing steak a couple of years back. Had good river views and not too expensive either (not cheap, but this is London)…

Meson don Felipe tapas bar on The Cut is superb. In fact there’s quite a good choice of restaurants on The Cut.

Archdukes for a steak or Livebait on the Cut (if fish is your thing)

Loads of choice around Waterloo

On The Cut there is the anchor and hope gastro pub, Maison Don felipe Spanish, Ev Turkish and Baltic just onto Blackfriars rd.

There is also the Waterloo Brasserie and Bangalore Express just across waterloo road from the station

Then there is Canteen and Skylon and Ping Pong near the festival hall.

And there’s the Oxo tower too of course but that is a bit pricey.

There was a thread like this a few days ago here, but the suggestions on this one are much better!

Meson don Felipe tapas bar on The Cut is superb.

+1 – nice food and actually feels like being in Spain too, unlike most.

Tas is alright in the same street too, cheap modern Turkish place.

anchor and hope. pretty good pub type food.

Ah yes, Tas on The Cut. Ev is on Isabella St nearby. As is Thai Silk which is very nice.

no no no no NO!.
You want the Fishcoteque on Waterloo Rd (its pretty much underneath the station bridge)!

Is that still there?

Was the title (and cover) of one of my fave albums…

there is the Livebait fish restaurant on The Cut….

but not idea if it good as I only ever walk passed it… sorry

but the tapas bar on the same street as mentioned above seems a good bet.. only been in a couple of times though

might look up Tas… sound interesting

Was still there in March!
