Serpentine Bar & Kitchen

“This café has a stunning location, facing the lake in the park, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. The atmosphere is especially nice in the early morning before it gets too busy. However, the food quality could be significantly improved, with more flavorful and diverse options to match the great setting. The coffee is also a bit underwhelming and could use some refinement. While the ambiance is a highlight, enhancing the menu would make this place truly exceptional.”

“While strolling through Hyde Park, I started to feel a bit hungry and came across the Serpentine Bar & Kitchen, beautifully located right by the lake. I decided to stop for lunch and ordered the classic fish and chips with a latte. The food was decent — nothing particularly special, same with the coffee — but honestly, what makes this place worth a visit is the view and the atmosphere. Sitting by the lake, watching people pass by, and enjoying the fresh air made the whole experience really relaxing. It’s a lovely spot to take a break, especially on a sunny day, and a convenient stop if you’re exploring Hyde Park. Would definitely come back just for the peaceful vibe and the lakeside setting. ”

“Decent meal with lovely views. Stopped here for a quick snack while walking through the park and the raspberry pistachio cake was yummy. A little dry, but the flavor was good. Not really friendly customer service, but just grab your food and sit outside to enjoy the lovely weather and views. Watch out for birds trying to swipe your food!”

“This place is at the east end of the serpentine lake of Hyde Park. Opens early and has outdoor patio that overlooks the entire lake. Great for a peaceful breakfast or snack after morning run or walk in the park. Ordered pancake and egg Benedict with black coffee. Nicely done.”

“This place might have the best location out there to have a pint or a coffee! The atmosphere is great, right on top of the lake with the swans and ducks. I have been there several times mostly just for drinks. Last time I decided to have some fries when they told me that even though I ordered them the kitchen was closed, so they offered me a baby pizza margarita. That’s not great, considering I have ordered my fries 15-20 minutes ago but the staff were polite about it. I guess only so much they can do for this mistake. In general, the service is quick and the staff is very friendly which makes the difference.”
