Midpoint Restaurant Greenwich is a Turkish café, bar and restaurant on Ballast Quay, right beside the Thames on the riverside path east of the Cutty Sark. Its own tagline, “Authentic Turkish meets the Thames”, sums it up: generous Turkish cooking with river views.
Charcoal is at the heart of the kitchen. Adana kebab, lamb and chicken şiş come off the grill, alongside cold and hot meze such as hummus kavurma, sucuk and sigara böreği, and boat-shaped pide topped with cheese or minced lamb. Desserts include baklava and künefe with salted caramel ice cream.
At weekends Midpoint opens earlier for a Turkish breakfast, from menemen and çılbır to a full serpme spread for two. That makes it a handy stop for a riverside walk, as well as a relaxed spot for long lunches, family meals and evening drinks.

Atmosphere and good to know
Midpoint describes itself as a café, bar and restaurant, and the space works for all three: tables for long lunches, a bar for drinks and views of the river. OpenTable notes an indoor fireplace, counter seating and an outdoor smoking area, and lists wheelchair access and gluten-free options.
Wine, beer and cocktails are served. Weekend breakfast includes several vegetarian dishes, and there are vegan meze such as hummus. OpenTable lists the cuisine as halal; check with staff if this matters. Booking online through Hostme is a good idea on sunny weekends.
Midpoint opening hours
Monday to Friday: 12:00–23:00; Saturday to Sunday: 10:00–23:00. Hours can change on bank holidays, so check with the restaurant before you travel.
