Located within the British Film Institute (BFI) Southbank, the Riverfront sits right at the heart of one of London’s most cultural districts. The South Bank is home to world-class attractions including the National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall, and Tate Modern, making the restaurant a perfect spot for pre-theatre dining, post-film drinks, or a leisurely riverside meal. With views across the Thames and a buzzing atmosphere, it captures the energy of the area beautifully.
The menu at BFI Riverfront is designed to be approachable and varied, with a focus on seasonal produce and crowd-pleasing favourites.

Vegetarian and vegan options are well represented, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Weekend brunch is a highlight, with classics like eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and buttermilk pancakes. The drinks list includes craft beers, wines, and cocktails, making it as much a destination for socialising as for dining.
