Summary
This Boisdale spin-off in Canary Wharf (for a drink, try to grab a seat on the terrace) aims to replicate the Caledonian styling of the Belgravia original, down to the live music and focus on wines and whiskies. When it comes to its traditional, meaty fare, no culinary fireworks were reported this year, but it was consistently well-supported.
Summary
“Good fun” (a rare commodity in Canary Wharf) is to be had at this “surprisingly enjoyable” (including at the weekend) Scottish themed venue, whose meaty fare, “great live music and selection of drinks” follow a similar formula to the Belgravia original. “If you can grab a space on the terrace, it’s an ideal place for an after work bevvie too”.
Summary
The Canary Wharf spin-off from the Belgravia original is a popular expense-accounter choice thanks to its views, meaty Scottish fare (“not complex but good”), spacious interior and Thames-side cigar terrace. It does have its critics though, who say it’s “hyped”, or “OK but nothing special”.
Summary
Canary Wharf spin-off from the famous Belgravia Caledonian that’s “a little on the expensive side”, but often tipped especially for business, thanks to its “excellent” steaks and seafood bar, “great range of drinks” and “spacious” interior; “cigars outside a bonus” (if you like that sort of thing).
Owner's description
The second floor restaurant and live music venue presents jazz, blues and soul throughout the week, from light instrumental acts on Mondays and Tuesdays to sell out blockbusters at weekends and relaxing easy listening on Sunday afternoons.
The first floor bar, grill and terrace offer an affordable English brasserie style menu with focus on classic pies, Scotch eggs, sausages and burgers, not forgetting light dishes and salads. The a la carte selection in the main restaurant is well known for Aberdeenshire dry-aged steaks, Highland game, Hebridean shellfish and Scottish treats such as Loch Ryan native oysters, Dunkeld smoked salmon and roast Macsween's haggis served with obligatory mash and neeps.
For whisky and cigar lovers, Boisdale of Canary Wharf offers an outstanding variety of malts and blends from Scotland and around the world, as well as a wide selection of hand-rolled Cuban cigars, including rare vintage and pre-embargo sticks which can be enjoyed in the Library or on the terrace.

Boisdale of Canary Wharf Restaurant Diner Reviews
"What is it that makes it difficult to see patrons when they are desperate to be served in an unfull restaurant. I really like the Boisdale formule. The smoked salmon is fabulous (if expensive) and the special offer steak a delight for carnivores."
