City Cafe

30 John Islip Street

London
SW1P 4DD

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 peppered beef, rocket salad and Roquefort to start, followed by baked monkfish with a crayfish risotto 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.
