Created by the team from the famous Applebee’s Fish in Borough Market, La Gamba is a breezy Spanish tapas and wine restaurant that looks onto the Queen’s Walk at Southbank Centre.
The restaurant is the first permanent South Bank venue for the Applebee brothers who have hosted several summer pop-ups by the river over the years. The menu takes its inspiration from the north-western Galician region of Spain and of course there are some great seafood dishes sourced from top-notch local independent suppliers.
Stand-out dishes on the menu include the gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns), traditional Galician-style octopus, light and crispy cod tempura, and a trio of tortilla. In summer months the fruity sangria goes down a treat and of course churros with chocolate is always the perfect dessert.
New Year's Eve at La Gamba
La Gamba opens especially on 31 December for an exciting New Year's Eve party. The Spanish fiesta includes welcome drinks and nibbles followed by a three-course dinner and DJ. After dinner join in the New Year’s countdown on the restaurant terrace (weather permitting) and continue partying at the restaurant until 1am. Tickets cost £250 per person. Note that as with all venues within the ticketed spectator area advance booking is absolutely essential and entrance requirements must be followed carefully! Find out more and book here.
