London Battersea Restaurant Guide

This “great local French bistro” offers “well priced and very well executed” dishes, based on the cuisine of Evian on the shore of Lake Geneva. It’s “easily missed in its location” just south of Battersea Bridge.

Since 2006, this out-of-the-way Argentinian has won a strong Battersea following, particularly with its selection of succulent steaks (flown in from Latin America) and “lovely” staff. If you have veggie friends, don’t despair: they do now have the odd vegan option.

“A long-time favourite”, “always full of chatter and laughter”, this Battersea pizzeria was the first in town to serve by the metre (or round, if you prefer) in 1993. “Both pizzazz and pizza that are long and good”.

“Bright, interesting flavours” from an evolved menu that’s “delicately prepared” win a thumbs up for Vivek Singh’s “well-appointed” duo of modern Indians. The original, inside a large atrium within a City development, benefits from a big ‘outside’ terrace; its year-old sibling occupies a railway arch within the new Battersea Power Station development.

Still relatively undiscovered by reporters, London’s branch of this trendy Copenhagen pizza-stop occupies a moodily and slightly weirdly decorated arch at Battersea Power Station’s Circus West Village, complete with tables hewn from big lumps of tree, spaceship lights and candles. On the few reports we received, it’s worth a whirl, especially for one of its buffet brunch deals.
