Chino Latino

The view from Chino Latino doesn't need to be explained — it announces itself through floor-to-ceiling windows that span the restaurant's first-floor position on Albert Embankment. Parliament, Big Ben, and the Thames fill the panorama at close range, a perspective that improves as daylight fades and the buildings illuminate.

Pan-Asian Meets Peruvian

The kitchen's identity is fusion in the proper sense — not a random collision of cuisines but a deliberate blending of Pan-Asian technique with Latin American influence, particularly Peruvian. The result is a menu that covers sushi and sashimi alongside dishes like black cod with spicy miso and steak on volcanic hot rocks. Under Head Chef Ederson Bonasso, the restaurant has held multiple awards over a decade-plus tenure, and the consistency of the food across that period says more than any single review.

The cocktail programme carries the same Latin-Asian fusion philosophy, and the central bar — which serves as the room's social axis — gives drinks equal billing with the food.

Atmosphere by Design

The dark palette with red accents creates a mood that feels grown-up and deliberate. Translucent coloured panels divide spaces without closing them off, and the open-plan layout allows groups to flow between dining tables, lounge seating, and the bar without the formality of separate rooms. For evening events, the interior does atmospheric work that would cost thousands to create in a blank canvas venue — and the Thames view provides the finishing touch that no decorator can source.

Within Park Plaza London Riverbank

The hotel setting — 645 rooms, 24 conference suites — provides practical support that standalone restaurants can't offer. Guests attending multi-day events sleep in the same building. Conference delegates move from daytime sessions to evening dining without logistics. Wedding parties accommodate out-of-town guests without a hotel search. The integration between restaurant and hotel isn't just convenient — for certain event formats, it's the reason to choose the venue.
