We’ve always taken desserts seriously here at aqua shard, believing that every meal should end on a high note as well as a sweet one. The same thought and care go into choosing the ingredients for and the preparation of our desserts as into any of our savoury dishes – and we’re sure you’ll be delighted with the new dishes joining the dessert menu this month.
If there’s one dish that sums up the quietly luxurious experience of breakfast or weekend brunch here at aqua shard, it’s our Lobster Benedict – Colchester Blue lobster cooked slowly in a spiced butter, which is then used to make Hollandaise sauce, to be poured over the lobster and poached free-range Clarence Court eggs atop toasted English muffins.

We know and appreciate that for many guests a visit to aqua shard is intended as a celebration of a special occasion – a milestone birthday or anniversary, becoming engaged, success at work or a reunion with old friends – and every day can feel like a celebration!
With that in mind we’ve added a very special sharing dish to the menu – a 1kg rib of Galician Blond beef, one of the best-tasting, richest and tenderest cuts we’ve come across. Whereas most beef comes from cows aged 2-3 years, Galician Blond comes from older dairy herds aged 8 years, meaning that the meat has more marbling of fat which makes it richer and tastier.
