17 of the best Canary Wharf restaurants

Spread over two floors overlooking Cabot Square and the London skyline, Boisdale is a lively venue with an exciting calendar of events. Featuring the UK's largest whisky bar, a garden terrace, and Scottish-inspired restaurant this is an all-rounder destination for any occasion.

Iberica deals in the finest produce for its classic Spanish fare, and offers a comfortable dining room that is as well suited to business meets as it is group dinners with friends.

High up in the sky and set over three floors, Bokan at The Novotel provides exquisite views whilst you enjoy the largely European menu from executive chef Robert Bokan, which includes favourites such as beef tartare.

From the team behind Mildred's, Mallow is a totally plant-based restaurant serving up international flavours, sustainable ingredients, and a variety of menus for whatever time of day you're visiting. The weekend brunch is particularly popular so make sure to book ahead.

The most spacious of the three Goodman eateries, the Canary Wharf branch continues to serve what many regard to be some of the best steak in London (with a rather large price to match).

ROKA’s Canary Wharf branch serves high quality contemporary Japanese cuisine in a large, bamboo-covered restaurant. The menu is based around the robatayaki style cooking, where dishes such as lamb cutlets are cooked over hot coals.

The best thing about the Ivy is you know what you’re getting each time, with a consistent level of quality found in each of the brand’s cafes. Here there’s much of the same as elsewhere with pretty interiors, crowd pleasing international plates and top-end service.

Importing an LA buzz to this little corner of east London, Feels like June brings with it pastel interiors and a clean, fresh menu. There’s lots to like and something for everyone, from the plant-based burgers to the banana splits.

Whether you’re dining with friends or colleagues, Dishoom’s signature buzz makes the perfect backdrop to breaking bread and making merry. Feast on the food of Bombay’s famous Irani cafes, including classics like black dahl and chicken biryani.

A cheap and cheerful staple, with colourful interiors and cracking set menus that allow you a full taste of the team’s work for around the £20 mark. Think Mezcal cocktails, tasty tacos, and plates of crisp tostadas.

Hawksmoor doesn't disappoint, and this Canary Wharf site is one of its' best. Found on a floating pontoon, this double height space comes complete with an outdoor deck, downstairs bar and a menu packed with incredible seafood and steak. 

Boasting colourful interiors, plenty of greenery and gorgeous glazed tiles, Gallio brings a slice of the Mediterranean to Canary Wharf. The menu features mezze, salads, pilaf bowls and wraps, but its signature offering is its handmade pizzas made with 18-hour fermented dough.

Canary Wharf’s huge Big Easy is in an amazing location, sat on the park level of Crossrail Place looking out over the water, and serves big American style food. Think ribs, shrimp and lobster, washed down with frozen Margaritas.

Over the past few years Gaucho has become one of the biggest steakhouse chains in London but that doesn’t mean that their steak isn’t still amazing. This particular branch also has beautiful al fresco dining section overlooking the river.

The Gun is one of very few old school pubs in the Canary Wharf area with its long wooden bar and red leather stools, and is renowned for serving some really high quality restaurant food too.
