Nestled within the Novotel London Bridge on Southwark Bridge Road, Gourmet Bar offers a stylish yet relaxed dining experience in the heart of South Bank. Just a short stroll from Borough Market, Tate Modern, and the River Thames, it’s perfectly placed for a leisurely meal after exploring the city or catching up with friends in a vibrant urban setting.
Inside, the décor blends cosy charm with modern flair - think exposed brick, ambient lighting, and plush seating. The atmosphere is welcoming and versatile, ideal for everything from solo lunches to romantic dinners. Guests can enjoy live music on select evenings, adding to the laid-back vibe.
The menu at Gourmet Bar celebrates fresh, hand-selected British ingredients with a creative international twist. Designed for sharing and casual dining, it features small plates like creamy baba ghanoush, Korean BBQ chicken wings, and prosciutto with melon. Mains include artisan sandwiches such as the bacon cheeseburger with prime British beef, wood-fired pizzas like the spicy diavola, and comforting classics including fish and chips and seasonal salads. Vegan, vegetarian, and halal options are also available, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
The drinks menu is equally impressive, featuring local craft beers, creative cocktails, and wines from around the world. Whether you’re popping in for a morning coffee (they serve artisan Climpsons & Sons brews), a relaxed lunch, or evening drinks, Gourmet Bar delivers quality and comfort with a touch of flair.
Open daily for brunch, lunch and dinner, it’s a convenient and inviting spot for both hotel guests and Londoners alike. With friendly service and a menu that balances indulgence and freshness, Gourmet Bar is a hidden gem in one of London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
