Quick info
About Le Pont de la Tour
Le Pont de la Tour is a French restaurant set in a 19th-century former tea warehouse alongside Tower Bridge on Shad Thames, with riverside views of the bridge from the dining room. The kitchen works from classic French cuisine, with steak and fish or duck dishes appearing regularly on the menu. On Sundays, a roast is served with lamb or beef alongside potatoes and green vegetables, and desserts run to chocolate fondant, creme brulee and lemon tart. Each table is assigned its own waiter or waitress, and round tables accommodate larger groups. The room is decorated in a smart-casual style. Walk-ins are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast draws the clearest complaints. One group reports wrong meals, with beef served instead of lamb, and food left sitting until cold. Two reviewers found the lamb chewy or difficult to chew. Another says the table was not checked on. One birthday diner describes a waitress's mocking comment about the amount ordered, a requested candle dessert being overlooked, and leaving early. Others note the tarte au citron and creme brulee had run out, and that drinks felt excessively high, with two small Coke Zeros cited.

“I visited Le Pont de la Tour yesterday to celebrate my birthday with my husband, but unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing and genuinely ruined the occasion. The waitress who took our order and cleared our plates made a mocking comment about how much we had ordered, which made us feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. We had also requested in advance that a dessert be brought out with a candle for my birthday, but this was completely overlooked. The quality of the food was also not great and did not meet the standard we expected from a restaurant of this reputation. We had planned to stay and order several courses, but the atmosphere made us feel so unwelcome that we decided to leave early. It was not somewhere we felt comfortable spending any more money. For a birthday celebration, I expected far better food, service, professionalism, and hospitality.”

“Absolutely lovely place, we saw the sandy outdoors on instagram and booked right. When we arrived we were taken to our seat and I wasn’t sure it was okay to take my shoes off to freely feel the sand but Alper was there to put us at ease right away! Highly recommend, staff was nice, atmosphere on point and we didn’t eat but I am sure the food is great too!”
