This place was by far the best! From the starters to the wine and champagne selection and everything in between, nothing says fine dinning then the archduke
Was walking down bank and spotted this place on the corner and decided to eat dinner here with my friend and it was a good find. The jazz music band playing while you eat in a rustic setting if seated by the window watching the world go by. The food was lovely and so we're the cocktails. I ordered the spring roast chicken with mash & green beans an the bacon an mushroom sauce. Good portion sizes also..would definitely recommend coming here and I would come again.
Good jazz band; creates an open and honest vibe. The steak was a good choice on the menu. Recommend restaurant for a business dinner or informal drink.
This steak house has probably everything that a good restaurant can provide.
The location is absolutely central and it is quite easy to find it walking from Waterloo tube station. I went there once with a friend and we both were quite satisfied with everything.
I ordered bone steak which was served on a wooden plate, with some decorations and chips on a side. I should admit this was one of the best steaks I had ever had. We spent about £40 with drinks which was quite affordable.
The ambiance is amazing, a piano and live band, the atmosphere in the restaurant becomes even more vibrant. The service is lovely as everyone is quite pleasant and quick with orders.
Definitely recommending it!
I'm really surprised that the Archduke has such a low score! When I visited, both my Mother and I had fabulous meals. My burger was one of the best I've ever eaten. The meat was cooked perfectly to my liking, and the chips were skinny and soft. I hold this burger as the golden standard, against which to measure all other burgers!
Also I really liked the atmosphere inside, there was a guy playing the piano as you walked in and the whole bar just seemed to have a good vibe about it.
Fabulous location if you're visiting the South Bank Centre.
This is by far one of our favourite places for drinks! Great atmosphere & a huge variety of cocktails - fantastic service too!
Love, love, loved this place, first visit, will not be the last.
Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Time spent by them confirming ingredients due to a food allergy in our group.
Sharing platter was tasty and fresh. Live music was superb
Highly recommend this place
Atmosphere is great, service was a little slow but were very nice. Caesar salad was excellent as was the apple pudding.
Very nice location. We went there for a pre theatre dinner which we enjoyed.
Lovely bar which feels like it's on the New York skyline rather than street level by Waterloo. The staff were amazing and the service was excellent. The live jazz band (the Eliana Veinberga Quartet) were phenomenal and created an amazing vibe. I could happily spend every evening here!
Had a fantastic evening there on Thursday 2nd Nov. The staff were very friendly, and our waitress checked we were not in a rush for a show at the Southbank. The steak was one of the best I've had in ages. Great service, would recommend.
Warm welcome, professional staff and excellent food ( I agreed with my friend when he said that was one of the best steaks he ever had). I asked to edit our drinks and they delivered us what we were looking for (I really appreciate it, and I praise the patience of our waitress 🤝). Such an atmosphere.. and good prices! I was quite surprised when we got the bill! Definitely I will come back and I will bring more friends. Thanks guys!
Sat outside so noise from building site next door (beyond control so no blame). Excellent service and great cocktails 🍸
A perfect spot for a wedding anniversary! The food was amazing! The jazz was amazing! The service was amazing! And the ambience, amazing! We enjoyed listening to the sound of the trains overhead while enjoying our cocktails and dinner. I highly recommend checking this place out
We dined in the restaurant last night & we couldn't fault it, the staff including all waiting & door staff were impeccable & went out of their way to make it a special evening. The live music & food was top quality & we highly recommend this venue for a wonderful relaxed evening!! Well done Archduke staff 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
First visit for a Birthday meal last night . Great atmosphere, friendly staff , lovely surroundings. We both had the Ribeye steak which was tasty but not the most tender steak we’ve had . We both enjoyed it though . What makes the place and the evening is the live music , it made for a very relaxing , enjoyable evening. Will definitely go again .
This place is really lovely. Great relaxed but sophisticated vibe. Beautiful decor and live music. Staff are also another level - great, fast service, very attentive and observant.
We only had nibbles but divine!
They have a great pre 7pm dinner meal.
Will be back for that
What an interesting place to put a restaurant/pub! Right underneath the railway. You can kind of hear and feel the trains passing by during your meal. Seriously!! I thought it was cool to experience that. When the trains passed it was not loud or disruptive all. We got to sit on the second floor away from the pub goers. So the noise level was quiet for us. I think the only thing I would have wanted to change was the waiters were all talking to one another a lot on the stairwell next to us. But other than that it was a great place to have dinner. The steaks were perfectly cooked. I would say one of the best steaks we've had by far. I highly recommend this place!!!
I had the Rotisserie Chicken which was amazingly done skin had so much flavor from the chargrill flavour, salad was beautiful fries were tasty but it's this green sort of fiery guacamole with coriander and mayo, that was divine and I don't even like mayo and it brought the whole dish together, nice atmosphere and really friendly staff, £21 for this dish for London rates I have no complaints and would definitely come back. The only gripe I have the Rotisserie chicken barely fits on the board and found it hard to stop spilling the chicken, not a negative just constructive criticism
Not gonna lie, we had low expectations and we were blown away. Excellent mid range pub fair with fabulous staff and good vibes. We’ll definitely dine in again next time we’re headed to a show.
Good for a meal before a show in the Southbank, and to watch people walk by outside. Staff is nice, food is good (my medium steak was a bit too tough, though), service is fast. The clotted cream (instead of ice cream) gave a nice touch to the pecan pie.
We went there for an early dinner on a weekday. Place was busy but they managed to get us a table (even without reservation).
Waiter was friendly and helpful, as we had some non native speakers in our group, the waiter was patient and helped to translate and explain some of the dishes on the menu.
We had a three course menu (which is apperently offered for a discounted price in the afternoon), and a run eye steak.
All our dishes were okay. The steak was however a little bit too pricy for the quality (especially considering that it came with french fries..
Nonetheless a good place to eat if you are around.
Been wanting to come to this venue for years and finally went with my wife last night . We both had rib eye steaks which were excellent and the service was too. Thank you to our lovely waitress and also the great Helena Debono was singing too perfect night!
Wow, what a great place, team, food - we had a superb evening. Well done everyone. Lucia was outstanding, good on her, she will go places.
