Pont de la Tour, Le Description

pont de la tourLe Pont de la Tour is a highly regarded London restaurant and given that its food is said to reassure and comfort, it is perhaps understandable that it was the choice for Tony Blair when he entertained Bill Clinton in 1997. Dress code is smart in the restaurant, casual elsewhere. The enjoyment of the experience is greatly enhanced by the superb views of Tower Bridge, particularly from the terrace.

Their outstanding Modern European cuisine with French and Mediterranean influences from Head Chef, Lee Bennett, and high standards of professional service certainly underline a feeling of confidence. Le Pont de la Tour's menu changes seasonally and this selection of dishes from the à la carte evening menu is intended as an indication only.

A meal there could begin with a choice of celeriac soup, terrine of foie gras with spiced pear compote, Colchester lobster bisque, classic steak tartare, smoked haddock risotto with curry roasted prawns, half a dozen West Mersea rock oysters, or a seafood platter for two to share.

On to main dishes, some of which may derive from French cuisine but have more than a whiff of the English influence about them. From the sea a pave of salmon with a warm salad of beetroot, potato and dandelion, a whole grilled Dover sole, or that king of dishes a grilled lobster, delicately enhanced with garlic and herbs, and finished with sauce béarnaise.

Roasted Wiltshire pork chop is served with pear and potato puree and black pudding, an English label chicken has braised cabbage and morel sauce for company. One of the great treats for carnivores is a fillet of veal Rossini, possibly eclipsed only by the Chateaubriand for two with pommes paille.

They also offer an extremely imaginative vegetarian menu, and at lunchtime their prix fixe represents excellent value for money with two courses at £20, three for £25.

Le Pont de la Tour has recently announced the introduction of their Table in the Cellar. This semi-private dining table is situated in the wine cellar, and gives guests the opportunity to dine amongst Grand Crus and vintage Champagnes. It can accommodate up to 10 guests, or 22 over two tables, and is probably one of the most unique dining tables in London. Their other private dining room, Le Salon Privé, is available for up to 20 people.

The wine list at Le Pont de la Tour is considered to be among the best in London and a quality house wine at £13.95 represents a good deal. For simpler food they have an excellent choice in their Brasserie of grills, salads and wonderful crustacean. It also has outdoor seating and a pianist every evening and Sunday lunchtime.

A pleasant temptation is the Foodstore, an absolute haven for foodies stocking everything from cheeses, charcuterie, patés and freshly baked bread to everyday ingredients such as olive oils and pasta. They will also make up bespoke packages to order. Could solve a gift problem or two?

For a similar approach to wine arrange to see Walter Speller at their extensive cellar - no wonder they have such a wonderful selection for restaurant use.

More information is available on their comprehensive Website.

Your Reviews of Pont de la Tour, Le

Oliver Wheble (5 August 2006)

I'm writing this review because what had been a lovely evening was marred by the head waiter's attitude when my friends and I explained that the chateaubriand was the worst we have ever had. He didn't apologise but tried to imply we were lying because there was no evidence by that stage in the meal. The rest of the party's food was good but none of us are going to return or recommend it as we have been to a number of competing restaurants which provide customer service and in South East England there are so many more to try.

Rachael (20 June 2006)

Great location - I was part of a group of six for breakfast, which was OK, nothing special, but the service was so slow, there were only six tables in use, people seemed to be running around and not doing much. Four extra staff were setting up for lunch and the tables looked great, but I think in future they should concentrate on the people ordering at the time.
