We had a lovely mean to celebrate a family member turning 21. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic. The meal is expensive but given the quality, I feel acceptable.

Very good food but service slow and somewhat inattentive. From seating to starter being served was 90mins. A bit too long.
Le Pont de la TourResponded on June 23, 2025
Thank you for your feedback — we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed the food. That said, we’re sorry to learn that the service was slower than expected and not as attentive as it should have been. A 90-minute wait before the starter is certainly longer than we aim for, and we understand how that can impact the overall experience. We’ve shared your comments with our front-of-house team to ensure we’re more mindful of pacing and guest attention moving forward. We hope to welcome you back soon for a visit that’s as seamless as it is delicious. Warm regards, The Team at Le Pont de la Tour

Despite waiting for my friend to join me, I wasn't offered either a menu or a glass of water. I felt totally invisible. The waiter who did attend to us once my friend arrived was pleasant and attentive and gave us time to order. The food was excellent. We went for the w/end brunch menu. The mark-up on wines was extortionate so I just ordered two glasses of champagne for my friend and I and then dropped to Cremant for my second glass. Its a lovely spot near the river. I had booked a table outside which was well sheltered. We were left to spend a very pleasant afternoon on the hottest day of the year and I would certainly recommend Le Pont de la Tour as an ideal spot for any occasion.

Pont de la Tour offers great French food in a beautiful setting. No better place to be on a sunny summer's day in London! Staff were a little distant (hot? harassed?)at first but warmed up once we got chatting. It was a pleasure to have the best type of French food - beautiful seafood and great wine. There was a nice little touch to celebrate our anniversary. Overall, a very pleasurable experience.
