We’ve had a apartment on the island for many years now. Though we spend almost all out time on the coast in West Sussex these days.
Here’s a few thoughts for you and your son for places off the wharf.
The grapes on narrow st already mentioned is a nice old riverside pub with restaurant above, away along narrow st is La Figa which is an excellent Italian bistro/pizzeria, the best in the area I’d say.
Heading south from the wharf is the George at crossharbour is one of the better pubs on the island and gets you away from the chain offerings on the wharf, the pepper st ontiod is a nice bar with dock side seating but service could be a bit hit’n’miss.
Byblos harbour is a good Middle Eastern restaurant as is Moira on the corner of byng st
We always found Lime or the Gaylord to be reliable and consistent Indians
Greenwich has the better pubs, there’s a nice walk along the river bank stoping off at the Trafalgar and Cutty Sark(good pub food here) then head inland to plume of feathers on the edge of the park and the miter is always a vibrant pint.
Let me know if either of you have any Q’s
Edit: I forgot to say if you wanted to try the local delicacy pie, mash and liquor, which I’d recommend whole heartedly then avoid the tourist trap goddards in Greenwich and take a trip on the dlr to chrisp st market and Maureens, some of the best in London and it’s also the best salt beef beigel outside of brick lane.
