My second time of visiting the restaurant for brunch with friends and to didn’t disappoint. The food selection is great from the menu and affordable. The portion sizes are good. The food doesn’t take too long to come out. The staff are friendly and welcoming, ready to help with all of your requests. I will be back and highly recommend this restaurant. It gets really busy between 12-3pm everyday so I’d advise reserving a table to avoid disappointment.

Canary Wharf

About the restaurant

Blacklock a modern version of the Great British chophouse. Nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf, underneath the train tracks of the North Dock. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC. We take the best meat in the country from the award-winning farmer and butcher Philip Warren in Cornwall. We cook chops simply over our real charcoal grill with a little help from vintage Blacklock irons and serve it all up alongside cocktails that give back and wine on tap in our atmospheric chop mecca. On Sundays we serve a Sunday Roast (almost as good as Mum's). Bookings and Walk-Ins available.

About the restaurant

Chef Larry Jayasekara has approached the project as a custodian, preserving and enhancing the 4-story building. Classically trained but undefined by any particular style, Larry offers a cuisine that, at its core, is all about the joy of eating. Given his 20 years of experience in fine dining, he has curated relationships with a select list of fishers and artisan producers to source the finest ingredients in Britain and overseas. With access to regenerative mixed farmland in Northamptonshire, The Cocochine kitchen enjoys fruit, vegetables, seasonal flowers and livestock, including game as well as native and rare-breed pigs direct from the farm. The menu features modern and refined dishes such as Tanera Island Poached Langoustine Leek, Morel, Lemongrass and 40-day Aged Rowler Estate Beef Fillet Maitake, Red Wine Jus.
Every element of the restaurant is considered, and the experience, from the outset and throughout, is about personal connection and old-school hospitality.

Four of us had a wonderful evening there, drinks on the top floor and then really good food from the a la carte menu in the intimate restaurant. The service was first class. Highly recommended.

Went for my birthday dinner and it was a fantastic experience. Beautiful restaurant, amazing food and cocktails and lovely friendly service. Some of our highlights were the cabbage skewers, the cucumber with cod roe (which was blitzed into the silkiest taramasalata I've ever eaten) and the espresso hazelnut choux bun, which has immediately become one of my favourite desserts of all time. As pescaterians we were especially impressed with the effort and care the restaurant put into its vegetable dishes. All round an amazing experience and would highly recommend for a special meal!

What a cracking mid week treat, the food, service and the band was really good. Slightly more empty than I expected it to be, but really enjoyable evening. Staff were really attentive and plenty of tunes you could sing along too. Looking forward to coming back next time the Wild Things are playing again!!

About the restaurant

A world of spices and colours, sizzles and smells. Of secret recipes and even more secret ingredients, passed across tables in noisy restaurants and down through generations. Flavours we can’t even describe. In combinations you wouldn’t believe.

For us, there’s nothing more exciting than discovering these tastes. It’s our passion. Our obsession. It gets us up in the morning and into the kitchen, never knowing exactly what we’ll come across next.

Fitzrovia

About the restaurant

Charmingly unique, Drunch in Fitzrovia is a must for those tired of the same typical Mediterranean dining experience. From street level Drunch looks like a Parisian restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The best seats in the house are by the wide windows where you can sit and watch the world go by.
However, a few steps below and guests are transported to a whole other world. Drunch's basement is straight out of a fairytale – its bare stone walls, with their arches and low lighting, enhance the atmospheric ambience. It is the ideal setting for romance and a real surprise to everyone who discovers it.
Sophisticated and contemporary, our menu makes good use of High-end Italian ingredients to produce elegant and creative dishes a long list of excellent wines & cocktails.

The food was very good, nicely spicey, but not overly so. Our server was excellent. Sadly I can’t remember her name, but she was helpful, friendly, and at the end of the night when one of our party left her phone behind our server not only found it and put it to one side but she charged it up so it could be called. We’ll happily go back again.
