A veritable London legend, there’s a reason The River Cafe has retained its status as one of the finest restaurants in not only the capital, but the world. Here, simple, regional Italian fare is elevated to a fine art, prepared with the best seasonal ingredients and executed with faultless attention to detail. From crunchy zucchini fritti to glorious crab linguini; wild sea bass to chargrilled leg of lamb, every dish is a winner. On a sunny day, grab a spot on the restaurant’s beloved riverside terrace and settle in for a long, indulgent lunch – surely the ultimate Mother’s Day treat. And while the ever-evolving menu is rewritten twice daily for every lunch and dinner service, the fabled Chocolate Nemesis cake is, fortunately, a mainstay, and makes for the perfect finish to a special meal.
