Canary Wharf’s culinary offering is truly hard to beat – a rich tapestry of something for everyone set within the awe-inspiring architecture and the buzzing business and leisure hub of the capital. Hearty comfort food struck through with great British tradition, exotic fusions of far-flung flavours and trendy al fresco eateries serving up the most satisfying to-go options all vie for attention and, just like the shopping, arts and culture scene, there is quite literally something for everyone. Pay a visit to the newest hotspot One Canada Square Restaurant & Bar for dinner, read the papers over brunch at Tom’s Kitchen, go oriental at Roka’s robata grill, enjoy cocktails with a view at Plateau and dance the night away whilst sipping whisky in Boisdale’s atmospheric, jazz-fuelled environs. But that’s not all. Canary Wharf is also a haven of viticulture, home to the prestigious Nicolas Wine with an impressive selection of wines available to taste, and Waitrose Food, Fashion & Home which boasts a fine and varied wine cellar with delicious vintages to be paired with the store’s sumptuous fare. Everyone’s favourite eateries are still resolutely in residence. Pop by Italian feast-makers Carluccio’s for a leisurely lunch or a lunch-hour take-away, breeze into Wahaca for an authentic taste of Mexico, sink your teeth into sumptuous burgers at Byron or work your way through generous helpings of hearty grub at Jamie’s Italian. It’s almost impossible to choose – in our opinion, never a bad thing.
Bon appetit!

Whisk your loved-one into the Capital’s upper echelons at this fabulous French-style penthouse restaurant and bar, with a panoramic vista which takes in Canada Square Park and the gleaming cityscape beyond.

they enjoy informal fare of the very highest quality, prepared by Head Chef Allan Pickett and includes such delectable dishes as seared seabass, ceviche of scallops and black truffle risotto.
The restaurant’s terrace opens during the summer months to offer al fresco dining, while the grill terrace lends itself ideally to chilled glasses of champagne for two. Both terraces are heated and covered so as to be functional all year round, and the sommelier, Tomasz Kruszernuk, can even be called upon for expert insight into the extensive wine list’s 250 offerings.

The Park PavilionT: 020 7636 5228W: rokarestaurant.com
Right in the very heart of Canary Wharf, Roka is designed so that guests are neatly arranged around the central robata grill, creating a sumptuous, warm atmosphere and the sense of energy which comes only from communality.
The restaurant specialises in robatayaki, a contemporary Japanese-style barbecue prepared on the grill, and allows diners to compliment an array of
typical Japanese dishes (including fresh fish and their legendary sushi platters) with views across the Wharf from the al fresco terrace, creating an enjoyably seamless cultural composite.
The drinks menu caters for all tastes, but its real strength lies in the wide selection of shochu infusions, a traditional Japanese rice wine frequently compared to sake but often much harder to find.
The décor evokes contemporary Japan, with light-coloured wood panels and chic, modern furniture that strikes a perfect balance with the fresh approach Roka takes to the country’s cuisine.

Smart, simple and under the command of renowned celebrity chef Tom Aitken, the ethos behind this no-nonsense eatery was a recipe for success from the start, not least thanks to its menus filled with mouth-watering British comfort food classics such as slow roast pork belly, open steak sandwich, shepherd’s pie, beer-battered pollock and the infamous triple cooked chips (or truffle chips, if you’re feeling especially extravagant).
The restaurant provides a mixture of booths, tables and private dining options, as well as an outdoor terrace and even its very own deli, offering express take-away from Monday to Friday for hungry devotees on the go. The restaurant’s sleek, curved bar serves up an impressive selection of wines, beers and cocktails from midday and features an all-day menu of its own, replete with such appetising items as chicken liver and foie gras parfait, macaroni cheese with truffle, and black olive and onion tart.eAt iN; tAKe-AWAY
