Malevo Tower BridgeA-Worth Trying

52 Tanner St, London SE1 3PH · Argentinian restaurant · 4.8/5 Google (424 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

Argentinian steakhouse with standout grills and value-packed lunch deals; evening prices are premium and service is usually warm though occasionally inconsistent.

Why it gets an A- for overall quality

Malevo Tower Bridge delivers exceptional food quality anchored by reliably well-cooked steaks and confident Argentine parrilla technique, supported by attentive, knowledgeable service that builds genuine loyalty. Consistency shows minor variation on quieter nights, and the pleasant but understated setting lacks destination appeal, keeping it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants rather than reaching grade A territory.

Restaurant Summary

On a quiet side of Bermondsey near Tower Bridge, Malevo feels warm and welcoming with the perfume of grilled beef and chimichurri drifting through the room. Service is often friendly and engaged—several diners call out servers by name—though a few nights see slower drinks or missed items. As one guest put it, "we felt looked after and the steaks arrived just how we asked," capturing the general tone of easygoing hospitality. The cooking leans classic Argentine parrilla with an elevated touch rather than showy gimmicks. Expect well-sourced cuts sold by the 100g, crisp empanadas, triple-cooked chips, and a few contemporary plates like grilled octopus. The culinary approach is elevated traditional: quality ingredients, focused seasoning, and confident grilling that suits steak lovers and groups who want to share mixed grills. Lunch is a standout value, while evenings are priced like a solid London steakhouse, so pick your moment based on budget. Families do fine here thanks to simple, kid-pleasing options: empanadas, burger and chips, and shareable sides. There is no specific kids menu, but chips, salads, and straightforward meats make it workable. If your crew needs lots of veggie or vegan mains, offerings exist but are limited; for most families looking for a relaxed meal near Tower Bridge, it is an easy choice.
