Le Pont de la Tour

With its lovely wharf views of the Thames, outdoor seating, and fine French cooking, this restaurant draws an elite crowd — Prime Minister Tony Blair recently entertained Bill Clinton here. A refreshing change from the fusion trend of late, the food is simple and fresh, with options that include calf's liver with bacon, roasted lobster with butter and herbs, and a front-and-center crustacea bar where fresh seafood is selected. Choose from an upscale menu or a more moderate Bar and Grill menu. TUBE: London Bridge
