About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Fancy
Nestled within London's premier eco-conscious hotel, the Rafael on the Left Bank, Banyan on the Thames presents a sophisticated dining experience with views of the river Thames.

Enjoying your meal al fresco in the summer months adds another gentle element of gracefulness to your day. It is a romantic setting and a great family place where children can watch helicopter landings as they eat from their own tastefully developed children’s menu.

The menu features a delightful fusion of European, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, showcasing culinary artistry at its best. Signature dishes include duck confit accompanied by a ginger and lime sweet and sour sauce, a mango and papaya salad topped with curry chicken, and the traditional Barcelona fish soup. Banyan on the Thames fully embraces the serenity and charm of its picturesque riverside setting.

    A Hidden Gem by the Riverside: A Dining Experience Like No Other From the moment we stepped into this charming riverside restaurant, we knew we were in for something special. Nestled right by the water, with panoramic views of the gently flowing river, this place offers an unbeatable combination of stunning natural beauty and an unforgettable dining experience. The ambiance is perfect – the sound of the water flowing, the occasional chirp of birds, and the warm glow of the setting sun creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Whether you're sitting on the outdoor patio or inside with floor-to-ceiling windows, the view is simply breath-taking. But it's not just the scenery that makes this place stand out – the food is extraordinary. Every breakfast we tried was a masterpiece. The menu is thoughtfully curated with a fantastic mix of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and every bite left us wanting more. The staff here are warm, attentive, and knowledgeable especially Victor. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and are happy to offer beverage pairings and recommendations that truly elevate the meal. Their attention to detail and genuine passion for hospitality truly make the experience one to remember. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or a celebration with friends, this riverside restaurant is the perfect setting. It’s the kind of place you’ll leave with a full belly, a happy heart, and plans to return soon. Highly recommended!

    The 60£/ pp Christmas dinner was over-priced. The food was good, but not better than that. The decor is all over the place and so is the menu. I cannot really tell what this place wants to be.

    The food was okay, served by a very nice gentleman however the actual restaurant (we sat in the covered outside area) was not inviting. Definitely needs updating, tidying and heating. Very shabby. Wires hanging off the wall. Not a good look.

    This is my favorite restaurant, and for good reason. The service, the food, and the ambiance are all exceptional. The waitstaff are incredibly courteous and attentive, ensuring that every detail is perfect. The food is prepared to an outstanding standard, consistently exceeding my expectations. Whenever I'm unsure of where to dine, I inevitably find myself returning to this beloved spot. It truly never disappoints & will be introducing my parents to this restaurant this week for my mums birthday
