Nine Elms, International Restaurant Guide

2024 Review: On the fringes of the new developments around Battersea Power Station, this modern all-day-brasserie opened in April 2023 – too late to generate any survey feedback. Instagram-worthy foliage is a feature, both inside and on the terrace. Let’s hope chef Luigi Vairo (who provides an international menu) doesn’t take too much inspiration from the restaurant’s name… the legendary queen of the Iceni, who burnt London to the ground…

At the southerly entrance to the mega-mall formerly known as Battersea Power Station, this glammed up café provides more space and pizzazz than the food units that abound in the moody gloom of its gargantuan neighbour and is enlivened by foliage, large windows and stylish fixtures and fittings. Open from breakfast, there’s something for everyone on the not-especially foodie but competent, all-day modern café menu with mains such as Salmon Carpaccio or Chicken Meatballs.
