Lido Cafe Bar

Spectacularly positioned along the edge of the Serpentine, this restaurant offers guests unrivaled views of one of the city's most picturesque vistas. The menu puts a classic spin on casual dining with offerings like fish and chips, soup, beetroot burgers, and more traditional fare – ideal for those seeking a quintessential yet simple British meal. Additionally, while waiting for freshly-made selections from the kitchen might take longer than expected, the patient are often rewarded with well-prepared albeit straightforward dishes. Though the ambiance may be less inviting indoors, any leisurely dining experience is enhanced by the scenic beauty surrounding outside seating. The sprawling coffee mugs are almost iconic here, serving piping hot brews that invite patrons to linger over contemplation and conversation. For return visitors, Hyde Park remains the draw, while a visit here can complement a day spent exploring the adjacent grounds.
