London Battersea Restaurant Guide

Little Battersea Rise bistro (20 covers), which receives outstanding ratings from locals for its deftly executed modern British cooking and appealing style.

“One of best steaks I’ve had in London”, reports a satisfied customer of this “off the beaten track” Argentinian steakhouse with a strong following down Battersea way. There’s also a list of exclusively South American wines.

A “new restaurant that has much promise” – this yearling in a railway arch that’s part of the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station is the latest offspring of Westminster’s plush Cinnamon Club, and its “refined Indian cooking under the care of Vivek Singh” is by early accounts “both interesting and delicious”.

«Dix points!» – This “honest local bistro, serving excellent Savoyard fare” has made itself at home just south of Battersea Bridge. Locals value it for “good, reliable, reasonably priced French food, well served in pleasant surroundings”.

“The broth is so incredibly thick and creamy, and this combined with the very generous servings make for a very good quick eat” at these cramped ramen pit-stops serving “noodles… more noodles… and some side dishes for those not wanting noodles”. “As it’s just a place for sustenance, you go with the flow, but staff are friendly and helpful”.

There’s “always something different and exciting to try” at this “bustling, buzzy and slightly cramped” modern bistro in Battersea, serving “tasty” small plates and with a “brilliant focus on bio/organic/orange wines that not many other places do” (it’s part of Les Caves de Pyrène, which helped put natural wines on the dining map).
