SAMA Bankside is an independent bar, restaurant and events venue at 3 Robinson Road in Southwark. Set across two Victorian railway arches near Blackfriars and the South Bank, its spacious rooms combine dining, drinks, art, music and private events. Evening opening during the week leads into a livelier Saturday programme with lunch, brunch, DJs and late night entertainment.
Small plates include chorizo and vegetable skewers, Parmesan croquettes with garlic aioli, hummus with sourdough flatbread, roasted sweet potato with avocado and pomegranate, and bocconcini with tomato, olives and pesto. Padrón peppers, beetroot carpaccio, chicken skewers and honey glazed wings add vegan, vegetarian, meat and sharing options.
Sourdough pizzas range from margherita and pepperoni to barbecue chicken, chorizo with red onion, four seasons and a hot vegetable recipe with jalapeños. A vegan pizza combines spinach, courgette, mushroom, pepper and coconut cheese. Larger plates include Spanish chicken in bravas sauce, chilli prawns with chorizo, pesto gnocchi, sea bass, pork tenderloin, Spanish rice and a homemade beef burger.
The bottomless brunch pairs small plates with a main course or pizza and a choice of prosecco or spritzes, with an alcohol free option also available. Mango sorbet, vanilla cheesecake, sticky toffee Biscoff cake and chocolate brownie provide sweet finishes. Cocktails, wine, beer, happy hour and flexible private dining packages make SAMA as much a social venue as a restaurant.
