Canary Wharf, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

A fine position by the Thames, looking over to the O2, is the draw to this 200-year-old, Grade II listed tavern in the depths of Docklands. Since its sale by ETM group to Fuller’s, it doesn’t attract the attention it once did as a dining destination, but feedback on eating here remains upbeat.

“On a clear day the sights across London are wonderful” on the 37th floor of the recently opened Novotel Canary Wharf. This 65-cover venue still inspires limited feedback, but such as we have praises “beautifully presented dishes, tasty drinks and a great atmosphere”.

In the lobby of Canary Wharf’s top landmark, this is “a business restaurant primarily, so I don’t really rate the atmosphere” (“it’s too bland for anything else”). “However, it works perfectly for a meeting: breakfast and lunch menus are well thought out and the food well put together”. For its purpose “definitely one of the best restaurants in the Wharf”.

A stunning waterside location in Canary Wharf (in the same former warehouse buildings as the Docklands Musuem) provides the setting for Drake & Morgan's latest opening; all-day dining, Sunday roasts, cocktails, plenty of outside seating and weekend brunch complete the picture.
