Buenos Aires Steak Restaurant. This little place is great. Inside is tiny, but atmospheric. It serves typical tapas and Argentinian steaks and empanadas (a typical Argentine pastry to eat as a starter). Interesting fact: it serves only beef from grass-fed cattle from the Las Pampas region of Argentina.
Location: to the right side of the main street, the nearest restaurant to the property
Sticks'n'Sushi Is quite a big venue. It's a popular place with the Wimbledon crowd as the prices are good. Perfect for fish lovers (try the Maki De Luxe). They have extended their menu recently and now include a very big choice. The cocktails are also to be recommended too I believe. Interesting facts: The restaurant is Danish but serves Japanese. The food is a combination of Sushi and Yakatori sticks from the grill. Founded by two brothers who are half-Japanese and half Danish.
Location: on the right of the main street, 1 minute away
Opposite Sticks'n'Sushi you will find All Bar One. They have a menu that runs from breakfasts through to evenings. Usually there are tapas and at the moment they are offering sharing menus. It has very much a city bar vibe. click for website Interesting fact: it was designed as a modern open plan pub for single women who found it intimidating to go into a traditional English pub on their own.
Location: on the main road just before the church.
The Alexandra. We can confidently tell you this is one of the best pubs in Wimbledon. It has 4 different bars and great food. The tables are outside overlooking the church and the square and inside. It also has a fantastic roof terrace. Interesting fact: The pub is apparently haunted!
Location: opposite the church on the pedestrian walkway on the main street
The Hand and Racket is another nice pub nearby. It has a lunchtime menu as well as evening and has a selection of meat and fish dishes. It is quite expensive but popular at lunchtimes. Click here for website Interesting fact: Used to be a South African pub
Location: Further on on the main street after the Alexandra
US owned Five Guys restaurant. It has a large number of tables and service is very quick. It only serves hamburgers, hot dogs and chips. It is good for children and is open all day. The hamburgers are fab...and the chips are really good, you can order salted or spicy. Check out their website Interesting fact: It was originally the father and his 4 sons. Another son was born so it was no longer 5 guys!
Location: on the main street on the left after the tube station
Tortilla is a Mexican restaurant serving burritos from California.
Location: On the main street opposite Morrisons.
These are just some of the main places, but you will no doubt spot others too. All of them are child friendly and many are open late...so it is easy to try new dishes you might not be familiar with. As you can see, on a one or even two week holiday you'll be spoiled for choice!
One final mention....Pizza Pilgrims is a new addition. It is minutes away from the property, just by the station. Real authentic pizza with great decor. Pop in and take a look, they are very friendly and the pizzas are made by Italians. Really lovely.
