Nestled beneath a Victorian railway arch, The Archduke is a brightly coloured haven of exposed bricks, hanging foliage and spiralling stairs. The smooth live jazz and the ramble of overhead trains provide the perfect urban soundtrack for this South Bank hot spot that is becoming as well known for its gastronomic offerings as it is for its groovy ambience and convenient location. Liz Philips famously started her business 20 years ago, after getting fed up with being crushed by herds of luvvies during show intervals at the Royal Festival Hall next door. Now, she caters for the over-spill as well as regular patrons. The modern British food is excellent and reasonably priced. The average price is £35.
