London Greenwich Restaurant Guide

“LOVE this chain and would happily eat there any day!” – These “always buzzy” Nordic operations (originating in Copenhagen 30 years ago) provide a “tasty mix of sushi and grilled yakitori kebabs” in Scandi-minimalist dining spaces. One or two reporters hesitate at the prices for these luscious morsels – “not sure you can justify the cost of leaving full up” – but the overall satisfaction-level is high. They added a branch in Richmond’s former House of Fraser in May 2024 followed by another on Islington Green in September.

“Lovely chilli beef pie ’n’ mash and baked beans… and a fabulous crumble for dessert” – such are the culinary delights of this traditional pie shop from a family who’ve been in the business in the area since 1890. There’s a vegan option, as well as pies with chicken, cheese & onion or eels.

This spectacular tavern, which opened in Queen Victoria’s coronation year next to Greenwich’s Royal Naval College, has “a great setting beside the Thames” complete with a historic interior, and is not surprisingly “a favourite with tourists”. It can provide a good trip, but it can also “be let down by its typical pub grub”.

Opening on 7 July next door to the Greenwich Picturehouse, a British Isles- focused restaurant and bar with a strong seafood offer and raw bar. Founder David O’Brien is an ex-development director at Caprice Holdings, with an Irish head chef in Fionnan Flood, formerly of The Chelsea Pig, and Clark Crown (ex-Palomar) in charge of the bar.
