The Archduke
PRE-THEATRE OFFERS: Prix Fixe menu until 7pm, two courses £26, three courses £30
The Archduke was among the first restaurant and wine bars to open in South Bank in 1979 and remains to this day a neighbourhood institution, located literally a stone's throw from the Royal Festival Hall at Southbank Centre. Owned and operated by Black and Blue Steakhouse, steak and wine of course features prominently. Options on the prix-fixe menu include starters like Forestière terrine chicken and mushroom pate, classic mains like Steak Frites, and for dessert warm apple and cinnamon pie, ice cream sundae, blood orange sorbet or Cornish brie and grapes.
