Where's good for lunch near the London Eye?

Question

I'm taking my girlfriend to London for her birthday and was after somewhere nice/funky to go for lunch - has to be walking distance of the London Eye - No restrictions to menu - Any advice?

Answer 1

If you go to Gabriel's Wharf (a 5 min walk) there is a lovely organic pizza place and also a pub which does upmarket pub food. Yummy.

Answer 2

The Founders Arms  near Blackfriars Bridge (Young's beers) further along the river towards the Tate Modern is quite good and you get great views from the terrace.

Answer 3

LE BURGER KING IS GOOD

Answer 4

YES!

If you face the "eye" on the left are a few nice eating places.

Answer 5

You have 12 good restaurants within 500m from London Eye, check here - http://www.squaremeal.co.uk/restaurants/...

Answer 6

From the London Eye, if you walk down beside the Thames, heading away from parliament, there are a load of new places under the Royal Festival Hall that face on to the Thames. They are typical chain places, Giraffe, Strada etc. If you walk further that direction, then just after LWT is Gabriels wharf, where there is a great lunch place, (Studio 6?). It will be full of people from ITV though, and does not have a view of the river.

And there is always the Oxo tower.

Answer 10

Theres a lot of eating places near the London Eye and they are all good.

Answer 11

There is nothing there.  You can walk up that side of the Thames for about a mile or so and find some expensive boutiqueish restaurants near the Tate.  The only thing I found was an AWESOME video arcade and a Mickey D's.

Answer 12

Don't take her to a restaurant, do a really 'nice/funky' packed lunch.

It's more romantic, you can sit just about anywhere and it's cheap, no waiters/waitresses interrupting your conversation and.. if you really did want to spend money on her, put it towards an extra special gift.

Have a great day!
