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.

    We were shown to a table at the window, with amazing views. We had bread &olives while we looked at the menu. I ordered the octopus to start , which was the best I’ve ever eaten. A good size portion and beautiful presentation. Then had the venison, which was perfectly cooked. My partner had beef,and we shared the sides of mash and cauliflower cheese. All good size portions, great presentation and tasted delicious. Then I had the “shard” dessert. Throughout the meal the waiter poured our wine. The service was excellent, and we were not at all rushed. I will definitely recommend and be returning. The only negative was they add 15% service to the bill. I think it should be left to the customer to decide.

    We had the best tea time experience at this restaurant. Our server, Alisha went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. We arrived a little early, but the waiting area was very comfy and we got to enjoy the spectacular view. Once seated, our Peter Pan tea experience began. There were cute little touches, they were very accommodating with our dietary restrictions and we got to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. I’m always hesitant about trying places i see on social media because sometimes the quality of service doesn’t match the views. However, everything about aqua shard was nothing short of perfect. Thank you for a memorable time!

    We often forget what amazing treasures we have on our doorstep; our visit was simply a date day and a chance to enjoy our wonderful capital together and all its sights. The food was divine and enough and so beautifully presented. My only criticism is the butter was too hard and couldn't be spread on our sourdough rolls (despite the rolls being warm too!) The ambience was relaxed and calming with just the right amount of attention from the staff. The views of the London skyline fom the window table simply enhanced the experience. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours before moving on to explore all that London has to offer. We were not rushed and there was the perfect amount of time between courses to rest and be ready for the next. Very tempted to go back for the evening as our brunch was so delicious. Thank you all for such a lovely experience.

    Magical experience. The service from the time you arrive to the building till you are seated on your table is amazing. The food is beyond delicious. Wherever you sit you can enjoy the breathtaking view, but of course the best will be at the window, we weren’t lucky enough to get one. Only thing I didn’t like was the music, for the magical night and atmosphere the music should be more romantic or sophisticated. The prices are reasonable for the quality of drinks and food. The experience was amazing to be repeated.

    This is an absolutely fabulous experience. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the views... wow (we were very lucky with the weather)! We opted for the pairing menu and the wines were all good (much better value than buying wine by the bottle) - a decent amount of each, which was a relief as the glass sizes weren't shown on the menu. We were lucky to get quite close to the window (if there are only 2 of you you stand more chance of getting a window table). Highly recommend.
