Fresh, light, modern, and sophisticated are words that describe both The Light House restaurant in the south London suburb of Wimbledon and its meltingly good Italian fusion cuisine. The dining room is pleasingly modern and spacious, all pale walls with striking artworks, blond floors and furniture, and there is a lovely patio for lingering on and on. The Light House menu changes every day to make best use of the freshest seasonal ingredients and each dish is an adventure. Try perroche bruschetta with piquillo peppers, caperberries, babaganoush and Greek olives to start, perhaps followed by pan-fried sea bass on wild garlic leaves, courgettes, ratte potatoes and romesco sauce. Black pepper cheesecake with gooseberry compote is a winner, too. For chatty lunches, romantic evenings, memorable Sunday lunches or satisfying meals when Wimbledon tennis is in full swing, The Light House is waiting with excellent modern European food and friendly service.

    We received a very warm welcome from friendly and helpful staff at the Light House on a busy Saturday evening. The menu was interesting and the food generally well prepared. Service was excellent and comfortably unhurried, which is becoming unusual in many restaurants. The wine list had a good selection at a range of prices to suit most pockets. Definitely a restaurant to be recommended.

    It was a delicious meal but unfortunately there was a rank damp smell around where we were sitting. We mentioned it to the waitress and she agreed but didn’t offer anymore info 🤔

    Great service and great location. The waiting team were fantastic and went over and above to look after us. The chef was moaning and complaining at the front of house which wasn’t great and the mood of the chef was reflected in the food.l which was over overcooked and salty!
