This restaurant in the Design Museum overlooks the Thames from Tower Bridge to Canary Wharf. Clearly the view is the star of the show here, whilst the restaurant itself is set in a glass box whose interior aesthetics frame it all beautifully. The food is considerably better than your average museum café papier maché, but admittedly you might not make the trip for it alone. The variety of modern European dishes is good if not superlative. Perfect if you are playing host to visitors from out of town, but would also make for an interesting alternative for Sunday lunch.
