Food hygiene meets Google reviews. Find your unicorn.
🏠 Thames Wharf, Rainville Road, London, W6 9HA
Tier Achieved:
Clean. Reliable. Does the job.
The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.
The River Cafe sounds like the glamorous Italian escape we all need, but it’s got more mixed reviews than a family holiday slideshow. The food ranges from 'sensational' dishes like spatchcocked pigeon to 'meh' pizzas that leave you questioning your life choices. Naomi and Grace clearly had a blast, but others might find themselves scratching their heads at the price tag.
Service can sometimes feel like you’re at a trendy club rather than a Michelin-star restaurant, with waiters zipping around like it’s a game of food dodgeball. If you can get past the price and occasional service hiccup, you might just find yourself enjoying a lovely meal by the Thames, but don’t expect the consistent magic everyone raves about—because this place can throw a curveball.
"Everything was perfect for sharing between two."
"Beyond just cooking and presenting tasty food."
"It was really just simple and well executed."
