Best Dinner Places to Eat in Walton-on-Thames

"Located on the 43rd floor of the Walkie Talkie building in the City of London, the Sky Garden is the capital’s highest public garden and one of the coolest places to visit in London for free. The garden’s large plant-filled atrium has floor-to-ceiling windows with amazing panoramic views out over the city below and is open throughout the day and into the evenings on weekends – making it one the best free things to do in London at night too!. There’s also an open-air covered terrace on one side."

"The ferns, fig trees and purple African lilies that clamber up the final three storeys of the 'Walkie Talkie' skyscraper are mere wallflowers at this 155m-high rooftop garden – it's the rather extraordinary 360-degree views of London (the best in the City) that make this vast, airport-terminal-like space so popular (advance booking recommended). Located on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch St, the Sky Garden has front-row seats for the Shard and vistas that gallop for miles east and west."

"Get the lift to the top of 20 Fenchurch Street and let your toddler explore London’s highest public garden. There are 360 degree views of the London skyline, gardens to run around in and a café where you can buy cakes and pastries. Cost – Free, but you need to prebook."

"Sushisamba is always a hit for Asian dining, with excellent food (think Japanese with a South American twist) and stellar views at its City site. Located at the famed Opera Terrace atop the historic Grade II-listed Market Building, this striking space is crowned by an Eric Parry-designed glass roof. Bold in design, the restaurant offers a host of inviting dining and drinking experiences: from the bar with its ‘living ceiling’, the exposed kitchen and high energy sushi bar, to the terrace overlooking The Piazza below, and the private dining room with its own entrance and terrace."

"Sushisamba London offers a mix of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine on the 38th and 39th floor of Heron Tower, one of our favourite restaurants in the City. The menu features items from a Robata grill, along with a variety of ceviches and tiraditos, sushi rolls and numerous sharing plates. Sushisamba London has two large outdoor terraces, one of which has a stunning copper-coloured tree as a focus point above the bar."

"With its hanging plants, hanging lights, monochrome floors and navy velvet chairs, it’s every millennial’s dream, right?. Behold SUSHISAMBA, the place where Peruvian, Brazilian and Japanese cuisine align to create a unique blend that shouldn’t work, but so effortlessly does. If the food wasn’t enough of a reason to visit, the interiors will draw you in."

"Possibly the best known of the City’s skyline-skimming restaurants, Duck and Waffle boasts not only 360 degree views of London, but also 24-hours-a-day to enjoy them in. The restaurant welcomes diners around the clock, allowing them to tuck into its eponymous dish – a confit duck leg and fried egg on a waffle with mustard maple syrup – from sunrise to sunset. Views of the Gherkin, a distant Canary Wharf and more are on hand, but be sure to sit near the window – it’s a little tricky to see its famous views from the centre of the dining room."

"The Duck & Waffle is a bit different when it comes to dining in London since it is open 24/7. Located on the fortieth floor, this restaurant has delicious British and European cuisine served in modern surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic views."

"Enjoy our al fresco dining surrounded by vines with views of the Pagoda and Temperate House. Enjoy our plant-based or beef patty burger, seasonal salads, warm filled baguettes and cake from the kitchen."

"Replacing the old Pavilion Restaurant, this new bar and grill at Kew Gardens offers fast casual dining all year round. Found near Temperate House and the Gr ..."

"Michelin-starred Brat restaurant will reopen its popular dining terrace at Climpson's Arch in East London. The daily menu will continue to showcase native seasonal produce sourced from some of the best producers in the UK such as Dan Cox's Crocadon Farm in Cornwall and Calixta Killander's Flourish Farm in Cambridge. Along with Brat favourites, diners can expect new dishes of roasted game rice, fried pork chops with anchovy and hay butter and tomatoes with aged mutton and grilled cep mushrooms."

"Tomos Parry has moved his Basque-inspired restaurant into Climpson’s Arch for the summer, where lovesick fans can enjoy the famous grilled turbot and smoked potatoes the way nature intended — with a cold drink in hand and the sun on their backs. There are also dishes more geared towards the communality of outdoor eating, including a hefty cast iron pot of chicken rice and grilled mussels with nubs of the restaurant’s own chorizo."

"Michelin-starred restaurant Brat's summer outdoor pop up in Hackney was so popular, they've made it permanent. Head there to enjoy all of Brat's Basque-inspired dishes, using British produce to showcase the amazing wealth and breadth of the food industry here."

"Restaurants American Hackney. Weekend brunch (from 10am) is of the all-day variety (and often ‘bottomless’) at this sheeny eatery from the guys behind the now-glorious Sebright Arms. Order at the counter from a menu that spans everything from Greek yoghurt with granola or avocado on toasted sourdough with pumpkin seeds and pea shoots to shakshuka, mushroom vegan balls, sweet and savoury waffles, as well as the daunting 12-hour pork hash – a free-wheeling combo involving long-cooked meat with two poached eggs, fried potatoes, peppers, chorizo and brown sauce onions."

"Restaurants American Hackney. A sheeny all-day eatery from the guys behind the now-glorious Sebright Arms in Bethnal Green, the Vincent serves up everything from late breakfasts to dinners with a broad American accent. Baked eggs, pork hash, ‘vegeree’ and waffles give way to burgers, buttermilk chicken buns, chilli chips and chocolate brownies, while drinks include the ubiquitous craft beers, hard shakes and some jokey cocktails."

"Why: Joe Allen remains a Theatreland legend and pulls in punters who come for its buzzy atmosphere and menu of American comfort food. The likes of a Joe’s hot dog and a five-cheese mac ’n’ cheese are adequate, rather than amazing, but it’s Joe Allen’s unbeatable atmosphere and open-to-all feel that will keep you coming back for more.Where:Joe Allen, 2 Burleigh Street, Covent Garden"

"In the heart of Theatreland, this classic American brasserie has fed thespians hot dogs, steaks and chopped salads since 1977. Modelled on the Joe Allen on Broadway in New York, the London Joe Allen restaurant is also lined brickwork and posters and is known for hosting glitzy after-show dinners for leading West End stars."

"Opened in 1977 after the huge success of the original Joe Allen in New York’s theatre district, Joe Allen London is a magnet for many of theatreland’s stars who fill the tables post show."

"Rosa's Thai Cafe serves its range of traditional dishes to London's hungry crowds. Having been created by a husband and wife that were inspired by their travels across Asia, the restaurant will take a handful of traditional recipes and subtly infuse them with modern flavours. With dishes like butternut red curry, vegetable spring rolls and plenty of tofu-based dishes, this restaurant is also perfect for vegetarians."

"Offering authentic Thai food with a smile, this family friendly restaurant is found across London. Head into one of Rosa's Thai Cafe for big eats which cater for all diets, without breaking the bank."

"But, bear with us as this Borough Market restaurant has launched what we think could be the best veggie burger around. Avert your eyes from the nose-to-tail butchery and focus instead on the Ultimate Veggie Burger – a quinoa and beetroot based patty sandwiched between a charcoal brioche bun with pickled carrot chutney and an avocado tahini dressing. In recent years they've upped their commitment to veggie food so even if you're not a burger fan, there will be plenty to tempt you on the dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu."

"From Lindisfarne oysters and beetroot carpaccio to pork belly and East Anglian chateaubriand, this charming British restaurant in Borough offers a welcoming and stylish place to eat come lunch, dinner or afternoon tea."

"Head to Borough Market where this charming bar and restaurant boasts a slap up selection of plates to dine out on, from meaty burgers and succulent steaks, to a range of unique daily specials."

"It’s not an exaggeration to say that Feroz Gajia is defining the halal brunch scene at Bake Street, a café in Lower Clapton. There are currently lamb birria tacos and an Arby’s-emulating beef and cheddar bun on the weekend menu, part of a rotating cast of covetable specials that come and go to tempt the queue’s hypebeasts. If it’s eggs that are required, order chaka: poached eggs in tomato ragout with spinach and yogurt."

"Bake Street's open-plan space gives it a warm and hospitable vibe – you'll feel like you're catching up with friends in your own cosy kitchen. Located in Hackney, it's an ideal brunch spot serving coffee, brunch, and other delicious baked goods. My recommendations: Grab yourself the fried chicken bene(dict), and if you're keen on something spicy ask for the yanyeom option."

"They say: ‘Evering Cake bakes, designs and creates beautiful cakes with the most natural, high-quality ingredients they can get their hands on.’. The sweet stuff: Big, fancy, bespoke cakes but also brownies and the like. This is the sister company of Bake Street in Stoke Newington."

"Known for its colourful lattes, Palaette is the ideal spot for when you want to experiment and try something new. Expand your palate, if you will. The staff are really friendly and attentive despite the fact that there's often a massive queue outside – it's very popular."

"The array of brightly flavoured dishes at these Middle Eastern-influenced restaurants – one in Soho and one up north in Stoke Newington – are sure to spark up a morning. The offering includes pita and challah for dipping in labneh, butterbean hummus and more. Unsurprisingly, eggs are also a major player: you'll find shakshuka with za'atar sourdough, and an egg and cheese bagel with chilli, chive and smoked cheddar."

"This friendly all-day Dalston café bills itself as a modern greasy spoon and has perfected the art of curing hangovers – thanks to its devotion to hash browns and all things porky. Its quirky brunch dishes (available Tuesday to Sunday) strike the perfect balance between wholesomeness and the restorative powers of fried bacon – although they also sneak in a surprising amount of veg, from kale to homemade beans. The ‘Posh Pig’ muffin is particularly good, and the vegetarian options are genuinely decent, too."
