The Waterside Inn is a renowned 3 Michelin-starred restaurant located in Bray, Berkshire, on the picturesque banks of the River Thames. It offers an elegant riverside dining experience and also functions as a 'restaurant with rooms'. Founded by the legendary Roux brothers, Michel and Albert, it is now run by Alain Roux and is home to his eponymous Culinary School.
Customer feedback is mixed but generally highlights the beautiful riverside setting and stunning views as a major draw. Many praise specific dishes like the foie gras, Dover sole, and lobster ravioli, as well as the thoughtful wine pairings and overall atmosphere. However, some customers express disappointment regarding service inconsistencies, a perceived lack of 'wow factor' for a 3-Michelin-star establishment, and occasional issues with food execution or creativity not meeting the highest expectations. Some reviews also mentioned noise levels and isolated instances of rude staff.
The Waterside Inn offers river excursions aboard its boat, 'Waterside Inn II'. Its menus are seasonal, changing four times a year to reflect the freshest ingredients.
The restaurant is ideal for dinner, especially for special occasions. The website also mentions a 'Summer Sundays experience', suggesting daytime visits during warmer months could be particularly enjoyable due to the riverside location.
