Exceptional(1609)
Price: Moderate
• Modern european • Wimbledon
Fresh, light, modern, and sophisticated are words that describe both The Light House restaurant in the south London suburb of Wimbledon and its meltingly good Italian fusion cuisine. The dining room is pleasingly modern and spacious, all pale walls with striking artworks, blond floors and furniture, and there is a lovely patio for lingering on and on. The Light House menu changes every day to make best use of the freshest seasonal ingredients and each dish is an adventure. Try perroche bruschetta with piquillo peppers, caperberries, babaganoush and Greek olives to start, perhaps followed by pan-fried sea bass on wild garlic leaves, courgettes, ratte potatoes and romesco sauce. Black pepper cheesecake with gooseberry compote is a winner, too. For chatty lunches, romantic evenings, memorable Sunday lunches or satisfying meals when Wimbledon tennis is in full swing, The Light House is waiting with excellent modern European food and friendly service.

    Fantastic experience. We went on valentines day which is also my husband’s birthday and as soon as we checked in with reception they wished him happy birthday which was lovely. The food was excellent, we went for the surf and turf and doughnut fondue, all the flavours were amazing. I also love that the table aren’t sandwiched together so you dont feel like you are sitting on top of other guests. The violinist was a great touch and loved that it got lively with the dj too. This was our second time, will definitely be back again.

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The French Table! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, setting the tone for an exceptional lunch. The food was delicately prepared and bursting with flavor—every dish was cooked to perfection, and we truly couldn’t ask for more. It was a special occasion—my wife’s birthday—and the team made it even more memorable with their impeccable service and attention to detail. She was beyond happy and completely satisfied with the meal, making it a perfect celebration. If you're looking for elegant, high-quality dining with outstanding hospitality, The French Table is the place to go. Highly recommended!
