Canary Wharf. Nestled right on the water's edge, this busy hangout has the best panoramic views of the Docklands and London city skyline to accompany a delicious Greek and Turkish fused a la carte menu.
“My best friend and I visited the restaurant. The restaurant ambience was amazing the food was tasty, and the service was fast!”
1. Roka
Why It Stands Out: ROKA Canary Wharf delivers a sophisticated Japanese dining experience with panoramic views of the city skyline. The sleek, modern design and lively atmosphere make it a top choice for everything from business dinners to celebratory meals.
Menu Highlights: The robata grill takes centre stage, offering dishes like glazed black cod, lamb cutlets with Korean spices, and scallops with wasabi and yuzu. Sushi and sashimi are prepared with precision, and the dessert menu is equally indulgent, featuring their famous yuzu-infused cheesecake. Complement your meal with sake or a signature cocktail to complete the experience.
2. Burger & Lobster
Looking for a waterfront dining experience that's as juicy as a burger and as fresh as a lobster? Look no further than Burger & Lobster in West India Quay. This quirky spot serves up an abundance of, well, delicious burgers and succulent lobsters. So, whether you're feeling meaty or shellfish, you're covered. And, the best part? You can enjoy your meal with a side of stunning waterfront views.
“I recently had the most amazing date with my boyfriend at lobster and burger! I’ve been eyeing this place for months, constantly seeing their mouth-watering posts on Instagram, and my boyfriend surprised me by taking us there.”
