Open (Until 3:00 PM)

"A highlight of the London restaurant scene for more than 30 years, the River Cafe is as iconic as it is delicious, and all the more remarkable when you consider it was intended as the employee canteen of an architect’s office headquarters. Run by Ruth Rogers, wife to that architect, Richard Rogers, who opened it with chef Rose Grey, it’s also a sublime riverside dining spot, perfect for an al fresco lunch. The Italian food is simple—think whole Dover Soleroastedin the restaurant’s wood stove and richdesserts such as their chocolate Nemesis cake—and by no means cheap. But rest assured, especially given the number of chefs that have trained in the River Cafe’s kitchens, from Jamie Oliver to April Bloomfield (of New York’s The SpottedPig), this is quality cooking."

We came in close to their closing hours but definitely didn’t feel like it, the service was attentive and fast and the food was nice. The coffee was fabulous and the atmosphere was amazing. Would definitely recommend a lovely greasy spoon like cafe close to King’s Cross.

Fantastic breakfast spot near my accom that opens at 7am! Perfect for a tourist with a full day of activities lined up for them. Wife and I shared the full English breakfast which came with tea/coffee. Fantastic portion, and it was piping hot. Fantastic for a mid winter breakfast. We also got a latte which was really good!! The prices are decent too! Came back again for breakfast the next day. Highly recommended!!

I went to this Cafe to have breakfast. I completely LOVED this place. The food was soooo good and the service provided was great. This seems to be very local. I will definitely be back on my next trip to London.

Had the pleasure of this being my last breakfast in the UK while travelling from Canada. I got lucky and was able to sit at a fairly private table outside and ordered a classic full English. This restaurant was super close to Kings X Station which made my departure very easy to get to the airport. The service was super friendly and if I’m ever in the country or area again I will make sure to pop in.

Lovely neighborhood cafe for breakfast, brunch or a quick meal. Tucked in on a quiet peaceful street just steps away from the the bustling kings cross station area. The place seems like family run and has an intimate and cozy vibe which is something I’ve always been fond of. We came here for the traditional English breakfast and were not disappointed. Foods were well-cooked, served hot and fresh, and we love the way everything was delivered, nothing fancy but feels home style and hearty, exactly what we were craving in a beautiful morning in London. Our breakfast even comes with complimentary hot tea/coffee, and to our surprise they don’t charge service fee on top of the bill! Yummy food, generous portion with very fair price, lovely atmosphere, all that made us very happy customers. We hope to come back next time!
