Mediterranean Restaurants in London

1. Piazza Italiana Italian restaurant in 38 Threadneedle Street - EC2R

Near the Bank of England, this Italian three-year-old occupies a particularly fine Edwardian banking hall (built in 1902). Had it not opened around the time of the pandemic, it might be better known – “it’s not too noisy for a City restaurant and with good service and a reasonably priced lunch deal”.

2. The Don Mediterranean restaurant in City The Courtyard, 20 St Swithin’s Lane - EC4

“It’s back” under new ownership and management – tucked away in the former HQ of Sandeman’s port dynasty, this City haunt was “much missed by locals in search of a good ‘working’ lunch, and is settling back into operation nicely” after a four-year interregnum. The modern European cuisine and service are consistently well rated, and “the experience is not too expensive” – while the 600-bottle wine list, appropriately strong on port, is “as good as they come”.

3. Vagabond Monument Mediterranean restaurant in 51 Gracechurch Street - EC3V

2021 Review: A “wealth of wines by the glass” and “tasty nibbles”, help make this growing group of self-service wine bars a “fun way to try a selection of vintages from a multitude of small producers”. At the Battersea Power Station branch’s school you can educate your palate towards Wine & Spirit Education Trust certification and watch wine being made from grapes grown in Oxfordshire and Surrey.
