Blueprint Cafe (Bermondsey)

• This is place is defiantly worth going for the lunch specials and the view over the water is brilliant
• They sat us at a great table by the window with a panoramic view of Tower Bridge and the Thames
• So the view is obviously a big attraction
• Food wise it was a bit hit and miss (more miss than hit)
• The Razor clams I had were nothing special
• The mackerel was a bit overcooked
• The pickled cucumbers with mustard and dill that accompanied it was delicious
• Main course I had grilled leg of lamb with tomatoes and courgettes
• The lamb was perfect (well apart from the fact there was not enough of it and there was a real glut of vegetables)
• The meringue dessert was rather messy looking but tasted good
• The strawberry shortcake was less successful
• Some restaurants with a view compensate with either underwhelming food or high prices
• Mark Jarvis is now the head chef
• The wine list was organised by style and had selections such as Elderton Shiraz 2009 at £
• Sourdough rolls made with buttermilk were excellent
• Although there are limits to how exciting this dish is ever likely to be
• Fennel and rocket salad and Romesco sauce was a nicely balanced dish
• In my youth was regarded as cat food rather than sort of fish that would appear at the dining table
• The coley itself was accurately timed and properly seasoned (14/20)
• Even better was chicken leg
• Char grilled and served with curly kale
• Onions with the chicken were nicely sweet
• Blood orange parfait was served with olive oil sponge and blood orange syrup
• The parfait was not too cold and had reasonable flavour
• D restaurants will limit the freedom the chef has with regards to ingredient quality at this price point
• If you want to eat in a room with a view then you should consider the Blueprint Café
• The 'market' menu is great value
• Dessert was ok panacotta was too gelatinous
• The hazelnut praline was way too creamy
• Winelist was well priced and with plenty of variety
• The restaurant is located right next to the museum design and offers tasty British cuisine
• The restaurant is very bright and makes you feel that you are at one step from the river
• The service is great and the servers will offer you two options for your lunch
• We had salmon for the starter and the chicken yellow ross for the main and it was a nice treat
• The portions were a little bit small but very good
• Is a big plus for a restaurant with great assets
• Came for a meal to catch up with family and had a fantastic experience
• Amazing view of Tower Bridge along with friendly service
• The food was excellent really impressed with the quality
• Overlooking the Thames is a glorious spot to enjoy a meal
• His new Saturday brunch menu is a guaranteed weekend delight
• The new brunch menu is no exception
• I found my Wye Valley asparagus with Parmesan custard and crispy Parma ham (£
• A mild and creamy Kedgeree with hay smoked North Sea haddock and Burford brown eggs and topped (£
• 12 as a main) was just the sort of comfort food item I&rsquo
• Judging from good vibes in the restaurant while I was there &ndash
• We started with Parsnip soup
• Then moved on with some Risotto and ended with choice of desserts from the menu
• We had sparkling wine as well which was really nice
• The acoustics are not great and the window tables also have the advantage of being quieter
• We arrived very hungry so ordered the red pepper and walnut dip with crisp bread
• Also the sour dough melba toast was drenched in olive oil
• I would have preferred a dip that was flavored more like a romesco than a muhumarra
• My companion's lamb pie was very pretty
• Very meaty and with little fat
• A quenelle of wild garliic pesto was a great compliment
• The lamb jus was intriguiging with a tiny hint of aniseed in the background
• The accompanying oxtail and bone marrow sauce was rich and had been sweetened with port
• The roast hispi cabbage with crisp shards of prosciutto and a light coating of cheese and mustard sauce was brilliant
• Some of the best cabbage I have eaten
• The accompanying hollandaise was quite masterful being more acidic than usual
