Opposite Greenwich theatre is a real treasure. Probably the oldest and best known restaurant in Greenwich. No visit is complete without eating here. You will join a long line of the rich and famous who had dined before you. See their photos and autographs. The restaurant is an old coaching house which maintains its original character. See memorabilia from days gone by. If you can make the steep stairs ask for a table upstairs by the window and watch the world go by!
Booking advised.
Relax and dine typical French menu and long wine list.
THYME is a 32-seater restaurant that opened in Westcombe Park (close to Westcombe Park station) in the summer of 1997. After a successful two years and excellent reviews in Time out and the hotel & caterer magazine, also an entry in the Time out eating & drinking guide. The restaurant has just been refurbished with the Mediterranean in mind, in warm terracotta to enhance the stained glass frontage and create a relaxed and intimate atmosphere – as well as providing the perfect backdrop to their new art-in-residence.
THYME has always had a policy of displaying (and selling) unusual art from up-and-coming students, and little known artists. The current collection of abstract landscapes is from local artist Gil Mutch, a collection of glowing sunsets and seasons, which provides a great talking point to accompany the inventive menu.
The menu, and their restaurant philosophy, is based on the finest seasonal ingredients found by the chef, at the market, on the day.
