City Cafe
About City Cafe
Only a 4-minute taxi ride from Victoria Station, this award-winning restaurant-bar-terrace overlooks ’Side Street’, a uniquely-conceived work of art linking John Islip Street and Millbank. Very easy on the eye, the restaurant is a series of mini dining rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. You pass through an arty avenue of columns from the pre-dinner drinks area to your table situated in a light and airy dining environment. Fine modern European cooking. Try a little Chicken liver and foie gras parfait, pear and apple chutney and toasted brioche to start, followed by 28 day aged buccleuch beef fillet, mini steak and kidney pudding, creamed horseradish puree and root vegetable ragout from the a la carte menu. For dessert, treat yourself to the lemon and honey rum babas.
With an extensive New and Old World wine list, dedicated vegetarian menu (Garden Menu) and a daily changing Kitchen Menu, City Café is a smart choice for informal, not to mention funky, fine dining to suit all diets. The health conscious will no doubt appreciate that low-in-fat and lighter calorie dishes are highlighted on the menus.
