About City Cafe
Only a 4-minute taxi ride from Victoria Station, this award-winning restaurant-bar-terrace overlooks 'Side Street', a uniquely-conceived work of art linking John Islip Street and Millbank. Very easy on the eye, the restaurant is a series of mini dining rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. You pass through an arty avenue of columns from the pre-dinner drinks area to your table situated in a light and airy dining environment. Fine modern European cooking. Try a little Chicken liver and foie gras parfait, pear and apple chutney and toasted brioche to start, followed by 28 day aged buccleuch beef fillet, mini steak and kidney pudding, creamed horseradish puree and root vegetable ragout from the a la carte menu. For dessert, treat yourself to the lemon and honey rum babas.
With an extensive New and Old World wine list, dedicated vegetarian menu (Garden Menu) and a daily changing Kitchen Menu, City Café is a smart choice for informal, not to mention funky, fine dining to suit all diets. The health conscious will no doubt appreciate that low-in-fat and lighter calorie dishes are highlighted on the menus.
Opening hours:
Mon - Sat 12pm - 3pm and 5:30pm - 10:30pmSun 12:30pm - 3pm and 5:30pm - 10pm

City Cafe is perfect to capture the business/government clientele that work nearby, and which historically have not been well served. Food is good - not spectacular - and well priced for a business lunch. Service is friendly, if lacking a little polish. It also has a particularly strong vegetarian menu.Review
City Cafe is an excellent place for a weekday lunch. The kitchen menu is extremely good value and the food is interesting and beautifully presented. The salt beef I had as my main course was delicious. Service is excellent, with attentive and efficient staff. Another important factor at lunchtime -- where time is limited -- is that the speed of service was fluent without being rushed.Review
The City Cafe has a great value set lunch menu and the food is good. The staff are very attentive - maybe a bit too much so, with different waiters asking us if we were enjoying our food every few minutes. But we had a nice time all the same!Visitors
