Featured Canary Wharf Restaurants
1. Boisdale of Canary Wharf
Scottish restaurant in Canary Wharf
Cabot Place - E14
“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”.
2. Plateau
French restaurant in Canary Wharf
4th Floor, Canada Sq - E14
Spectacular cityscape views have always established this D&D London operation as one of the “go-to business lunch venues in Canary Wharf”. It still take occasional knocks for being “overpriced”, but Chef Jeremy Trehout’s “great French cooking” won consistent praise this year.
3. Ippudo London
Japanese restaurant in Canary Wharf
1 Crossrail Pl - E14
“Decent ramen and one of the better food options on the Wharf” – twin selling points of this global, Japan-based noodle outfit (whose unit in WC2’s Central St Giles Piazza doesn’t incite any feedback).
4. Roka
Japanese restaurant in Canary Wharf
Unit 4, Park Pavilion, 40 Canada Sq - E14
“Some of the best fusion fare that will pass your lips” – these “always buzzy” and “vibey” Japanese-inspired operations dazzle with their “beauteous robata dishes”, “amazing black cod”, sushi and other “superb Asian dishes”, and even if “the prices are as incredible as the food” it’s “money well spent”. That they are perennially ignored by Michelin is incomprehensible.
5. Goodman
Steaks & grills restaurant in Canary Wharf
3 South Quay - E14
“Every cut is served exactly the way it should be” at these testosterone-heavy, NYC-style steak-houses, which – amongst the multiples (including Hawksmoor) – serve “the best steak in London full stop”, and are naturally “ideal for business”. “Staff are personable which keeps the atmosphere buzzing”, and “while they are far from cheap, the meat is top quality, ranging from UK, US and further afield; matched with an excellent, varied wine list, with US bottles very well represented”.
6. The Gun
British, Modern restaurant in Canary Wharf
27 Coldharbour - E14
This historic Docklands tavern has “a wonderful atmosphere right on the Thames” and views directly across to the O2. “Long established as a riverside gastropub”, it serves “imaginative, distinctive food” in the “classy dining room” or al fresco on a heated terrace.
7. Pizza Pilgrims
Pizza restaurant in Canary Wharf
12 Hertsmere Rd - E14
“Believe the hype!” – “If you have a craving for pizza”, the Elliot brothers’ “no-nonsense” pit stops are some of the capital’s best antidotes: “the menu is simple but they use top quality ingredients” and “what a hit – YUM!”
8. One Canada Square
British, Modern restaurant in Canary Wharf
1 Canada Square - E14
In the lobby of Canary Wharf’s most iconic building, it’s no surprise that this modern European outfit is geared towards business dining – a function it generally performs well. On Friday and Saturday nights, it caters for post-office excess with a “bottomless dinner”.
9. Dockmaster’s House
Indian restaurant in Canary Wharf
1 Hertsmere Rd - E14
2014 Review: “Unexpected and under-utilised”, this “posh” Indian, in an “historic” Georgian building near West India Quay, is well worth seeking out for its “tasty, well-balanced and different” dishes, “efficiently” served too.
10. Rocket Canary Wharf
Mediterranean restaurant in Canary Wharf
2 Churchill Pl - E14
2017 Review: For a “decent” lunchtime or post-work pizza, salad or steak, these “cheap ’n’ cheerful” cafés around the City and Canary Wharf receive a number of recommendations.
