Question

Im going to the Tate modern in a few weeks, is there anywhere around that serves up good food? The tate restaurnat looks expensive, has anyone been?

Answer 1

The indicative "entry" cost of a single 2-course a la carte meal(dinner), including starter, main course, vegetables (if extra), coffee, cover charge, service & VAT, plus half a bottle of house wine in Tate Modern restaurant is £37.

You can find 13 quite good restaurants within 500m from Tate Modern, some of them cheper some not,  so I'll you the choice:)

Answer 2

Absolutely, when you walk out of the tate, head towards Tower bridge. On the south bank, you'll find a Wagamamas, Pizza express, Nandos (Portugese), Greek restaurant, few nice pubs. There's loads of choice, don't head towards the London eye though, there's not much of a selection. Hope that helps, enjoy the Tate!!!.

Answer 3

Try going back down to Southwark Tube Station its about 6 minutes easy walk, just immediately behind it is a hidden street called Isabella Street, it's under some railway arches.

There is a brilliant Thai Restaurant & Bar there called Thai Silk, they also have another restaurant just around the corner in Waterloo Road opposite the main station. (and they are both usually really busy - its great food) There is a big bar and seprerate Restaurant at Isabella Street with a great outside seating area that get lots of sun. It's not pricey either they have a special at 5pm-7pm that is a full authentic Thai meal for just obver £7, the beer is only £3 a pint for a Kirin. Get them to show you the private rooms you can hire for Karaoke evenings, one bven has a Full Golf Simulator in it as well

Answer 4

if you come out of southwark station 2mins walk to Tas restaurant which is very good - there are also restaurants each side of this one which as also very good. Nice hideaway kinda place

Answer 5

The food and wine at Tate Britain on Millbank is superb! I personally prefer the art there too!

Answer 6

if you are going on a friday or saturday, stroll down to barrrow market by london bridge station about 10 mins away. There you can get anything you want for a fantastic picnic, pies, cured meats, cheeses bread, pickles, fruit, cakes, etc, it is fantastic. Take your picnic with a few bottles of booze and sit by the river. perfect.

Answer 7

You've gotten a bunch of good answers already. I however have to disagree with the opinion that food at the Tate is not great. The groundfloor restaurant does a fantastic fish and chips (never mind much else on the menu) so if you're in a fish & chips mood then go no further than the groundfloor.

Enjoy! The Tate is a great place   :-D

Answer 8

The foods not great there. Walk towards the wheel and there are plenty of places down there which are quite good.

Answer 9

THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT PLACES NEXT TO THE 'LONDON EYE' THEY SHOULD MEET YOU NEED.
