1. The Prince of Greenwich

Location: 72 Royal Hill Greenwich, SE10 8RT

Rating: 5 (504 reviews)

A quirky Victorian pub with great Italian food, this restaurant takes number one on our list.

What customers said: "Went for a family Birthday celebration based on previous reviews. Will definitely return, thank you Paolo and your lovely team for making the day so memorable."

"Everything was spot on, wonderful relaxed atmosphere, the decor of this place is so nice, staff very friendly and the food was outstanding, Italian cuisine at it's finest."

2. The Peninsula Restaurant

Location: 72 Royal Hill Greenwich, SE10 8RT

Rating: 5 (375 reviews)

Right on the Greenwich Peninsula, this highly-rated luxury restaurant comes with river views.

The menu is described by Michelin as "creative and ambitious, with the occasional Nordic touch; the dishes are skilfully executed and attractively presented."

What customers said: "I've booked Peninsula because was planning a day out in Greenwich, and wanted a descent dinner as the final step in many other indulgences. A £38 set menu looked quite attractive for a luxury dinner. I did had some certain level of expectations going to dine in Intercontinental, but the result was far beyond.

"We'd got a table next to the window with an amazing view: sparkling London skyline. Food was delicious, and service very attentive, but not intrusive, how it often happens in posh restaurants.

"Highly recommend for a romantic dinner - the settings make a perfect date night!"
