Dog friendly restaurants in london
"Megan's Battersea Power Station" in London is a charming restaurant located in the iconic setting of the revitalized Battersea Power Station by the banks of the River Thames. Part of the growing chain "Megan's," known for its Mediterranean-inspired dishes and inviting atmosphere, this venue has carved out a firm place in the London dining scene since its opening. It is situated in the midst of an exciting new neighborhood that combines shopping, leisure, and residential areas, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxed meals with a view of the river.

Mediterranean cuisine in battersea
The interior of "Megan's Battersea Power Station" is truly eye-catching: fairy lights, blue tiles, hanging lamps, and lush plants create a magical, almost Mediterranean atmosphere reminiscent of sunny coasts. The space is designed to feel both cozy and stylish—ideal for a romantic date, a brunch with friends, or a relaxed dinner. Especially in the warmer months, the outdoor terrace overlooking the Thames invites guests to linger, while the comfortable seating indoors offers a welcoming warmth even on cooler days. The restaurant has even been recognized as one of the most romantic in London, highlighting its special charm.
Romantic restaurants by the river
Culinarily, "Megan's" leans towards a "casual" Mediterranean cuisine influenced by Turkish elements—an inheritance from chef Sercan, who incorporates his roots from Turkey into the dishes. Highlights include the "Shakshouka Baked Eggs," a spicy dish with baked eggs in a zesty tomato sauce served with fresh bread, particularly popular among brunch lovers. The "Posh Lamb Doner" is also noteworthy, an elegant reimagining of the classic kebab featuring tender meat and refined sides. For those with a sweet tooth, the "Half-Baked Cookie Dough" is a must—warm, half-baked dough with Nutella, often celebrated as a delightful conclusion to the meal. The dishes are fresh, colorful, and designed for sharing, fostering a sense of community.
Brunch with bottomless drinks
The drink selection is just as diverse and appealing. In addition to a range of organic coffees and fresh juices, "Megan's" offers a variety of cocktails that perfectly complement the Mediterranean flavors—the Espresso Martini is a frequently praised classic here. The "Bottomless Brunch" is especially popular, allowing guests to enjoy unlimited Prosecco, Sangria, or beer for a set period, adding a festive touch to the weekend. This option particularly attracts groups looking for a relaxed and sociable start to the day.
Cozy restaurant with terrace
Service is often described as friendly and warm, with staff eager to accommodate individual requests. However, during peak times, especially on weekends, wait times may occur as the restaurant does not accept reservations for smaller groups and is often busy. Nevertheless, the ambiance remains casual and laid-back, aligning well with the concept of a "neighborhood restaurant." For larger groups, special menus can be pre-ordered, along with private dining options that make the venue appealing for celebrations.
A minor criticism that occasionally arises is the noise level, especially when the restaurant is full. Additionally, some guests may not be entirely enthusiastic about the portion sizes or presentation of certain dishes—but the majority appreciates the quality and taste of the food, as well as the thoughtful design of the ambiance. The fact that dogs are welcome further elevates "Megan's," making it a popular destination for walkers along the Thames or visitors to nearby attractions.
