About Venue
London, all of it, is the backdrop to any event at Aqua Shard – the restaurant is on level 31 of western Europe’s tallest building. Even the toilets come with a view. A distinctly British theme runs through the venue, from the Liberty-print banquettes to a home-grown menu that includes Cornish leg of lamb, and beef rump with Welsh egg. There’s a spacious private dining room if your event is a little more exclusive, or there’s the semi-private Gin Wing for larger affairs. Its little sister, Tea Wing, is another glass-clad space available for events. Hire the whole place and you’ll have room for 180 diners or a stand-up reception for twice as many.

I had the pleasure of visiting this stunning restaurant located on the 32nd floor, and it was truly a memorable experience. The panoramic view of the city is simply breathtaking — perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The service was exceptional: attentive, polite, and very professional without being intrusive. The team made us feel welcome and well looked after throughout our visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined experience with amazing views and top-quality service.

Lovely Birthday treat. Selection of food was delicious.. We loved the savoury vegetarian tart. we were provided with a box to bring our uneaten cakes home. The servers were lovely and the Theme and delivery excellent. A great table awarded us views all across London. A special occasion luxury.

It was lovely experience, with a great ambiance. We went Sunday for their famous Sunday roast, I had beef and my friend had chicken. It was nice enough but it was rather cold and underwhelming overall food. I would have expected better quality. Service was good, and overall a good experience. I would recommend going for the experience but it’s quite costly too. Some photos below of the food, which was very well presented. Thx for the lovely views also.

I had afternoon tea to celebrate my partner birthday and we were very happy with our experience! Staff are very warm and welcoming, definitely go above and beyond for their costumers. Interior is very modern and of course with a stunning view. Service is relatively quickly and the Food is with great taste. As it was my partner birthday, they treated him to a free small dessert and say happy birthday! Would definitely recommend to celebration a special occasion.

Friday lunch with my wife. After five years of living in London, we decided it was time to try a high-altitude restaurant. The food was good, expertly cooked and beautifully presented. The risotto was far from Italian-style risotto, but it tasted excellent; I particularly enjoyed it. The service was attentive. One thing I didn't like: at lunch, there's a set lunch option: two courses for £39 and three courses for £49, but no one tells you! Only the menu "à la carte" was brought to our table, where the prices are clearly much higher. When we asked if we could see the set menu, the waiters seemed a little annoyed by the request. Overall, positive experience, to try once.
