The River Café
The Italian Job
London, England
The most memorable restaurant experi-
ences are never just about the food. Part
of the pleasure of dining at the River Café,
still trendy decades after it opened in
1988, is seeing and being seen. Another
part is simply being in such a beautiful
place, either on the terrace overlooking
the Thames or inside, where floods of light
pour through huge windows into a stream-
lined steel-on-white design by co-owner
The food and the view are superb at the River Café, overlooking the Thames in London.
