Set on the bustling South Bank, moments from the world-famous London Eye and Royal Festival Hall,
The Archduke restaurant, cocktail and wine bar is a local institution. A mainstay since 1979, The

surrounding Waterloo Station with live jazz performed every night and Sunday afternoon.  
Owned and operated by Black and Blue Steakhouse, customers indulge in heavenly cocktails,
delicious wines and modern cuisine including mouth-watering steaks, grilled fish, and
classic rotisserie chicken.  
For your private events please contact us for details, we’d love to help you celebrate your special
occasion.

    Excellent lunch with friends. Food was really good and the lamb and steak were cooked perfectly. My food allergies were dealt with professionally and staff were knowledgeable as well as friendly. Have visited in the evening too and wouldn’t hesitate to return.
