The River Cafe Cafe

June 17, 2024

Hammersmith’s iconic River Cafe has launched its own smaller cafe, on the adjacent east side of its home in Thames Wharf.

The River Cafe Cafe is now open, with an outdoor terrace alongside its riverfront site, offering an all-day menu on a no booking ‘walk-ins only’ basis.

The River Cafe, famous for its ever-changing Italian menu, says the cafe has its own separate menu prepared by the restaurant’s chefs.

At breakfast this includes River Café’s home made brioche and cakes along with fresh fruits such as strawberries, melon and peaches.

The all-day menu includes plates of prosciutto and mozzarella, alongside seasonal vegetables like zucchini and grilled peppers.

Ice cream coupes specials and River Café desserts are served all day, and pastries, ice creams and coffee are available to take away.

In the evenings, aperitivos, non-alcoholic cocktails and wines by the glass are on offer, served with homemade crisps and Italian olives.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
