Review of The Riverside Brasserie: ? Write your review

Hidden away outside Bray, at the back of the marina, the Riverside Brasserie isn’t the easiest place to find, but perseverance pays dividends. Though it lacks the Michelin-starred status of its big-hitting neighbours, the smack-on-the-Thames location is a real trump card, especially when the sun shines (tables on the large waterfront terrace are naturally at a premium), & convenient riverside moorings pull in passing water-borne trade, too. The place itself – a no-frills modern café-like building with an open-plan kitchen – delivers food that is equally straightforward & driven by top-drawer ingreients. Brasserie classics such as Caesar salad or skate wing with brown butter, lemon & capers, jostle for selection alongside Med-inspired offerings including chilled gazpacho or pan-fried sea bass with caponata. Note: the restaurant is open April to October only.

I agree with Jayne S’s succinct appraisal of Riverside Brasserie (we also like the same Bray restaurants including Hind’s Head). Most of the time Riverside deliver consistently good quality no-nonsense brasserie style food. We sometimes choose to eat here even on cloudy days when some people cancel, so it’s worth trying for a last minute booking. Inside the décor is a bit stark, but the large windows afford a view from just about every table. If you go with good company and love good grub served in a friendly and relaxed way, then the enjoyment factor outweighs that of lots of other eateries within a 10 mile radius, in particular Caldesi in Campagna.
We ate here tonight for the first time this season and Phil Boardman is on pretty good form again. We have been coming here for years and Heston Blumenthal's departure has made no difference…there are a few new additions to the menu plus the great stalwarts such as the Crisp Belly pork starter with fennel salad & caper berries and Rib-eye with roast bone marrow.

We love the Fat Duck and the Waterside Inn in Bray…this is a totally different experience but an equally special experience in its own way. If you can manage to go on a summers day it really is one of the most special places to be, sat on their terrace watching people messing about in boats. It is good, honest food seved in a functional building (the loos have showers for the people living on their boats and you have to drive through the marina to get there) in one of the best setting there is.
