I’ve been going to Le Pont de la Tour for over 20 years. Everything is sublime. The food is delicious, the service is amazing. We had the last seating at lunch today and you would never think anyone was rushing to get ready for dinner service or just tired from a busy lunch. Plus the views…

We had a table booked for 7.00pm and were lucky to be seated by the window with a fantastic view of Tower Bridge and The Shard. Having been to 14 Hills previously we know that the restaurant is beautifully decorated and added to this were some lovely Christmas decorations. I ordered the Sea Bream, which was outstanding. My partner ordered the Turkey dinner but unfortunately his food was luke warm and the meat quite tough. He complained and was offered an alternative which was quickly brought to our table. Overall an enjoyable evening and thankfully the complaint was dealt with quickly and professionally. Would definitely go back.

We had a fabulous meal from the Xmas set menu. All dishes were very good and to a very high standard. The restaurant was very very busy so congratulations to the chefs, please pass on diners thanks to the kitchen at this busy time. We would recommend this restaurant and will be returning in the future. Thanks Cote Brasserie!
