Wahaca Paddington
Price: Moderate•Mexican•4.7(54)Vibrant, Mexican small plates, made with over 200 ingredients, everyday by talented chefs. Cocktails freshly shaken to order, from iconic margaritas, made with 100% blue agave tequila, to mezcalitas and beautifully crafted non-alc cocktails. A taste of authentic Mexican flavours from Oaxaca to Wahaca. With a relaxed, laid-back vibe, where everyone’s welcome, any time of day.
Cooking with fresh, local, ingredients, with a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, Wahaca has been consistently recognised as a leading sustainable restaurant.
Our newest restaurant is just outside Paddington railway station. It's a great spot for a quick bite before catching a train, relaxing after a day of exploring nearby Little Venice and Regent's Canal or taking in London’s sights.Satay House
Price: Moderate•Southeast Asian•4.7(1,552)Satay House, London's most established Malaysian restaurant effortlessly combines traditional recipes and family-run affability with modern culinary techniques and sleek contemporary design.
The Stablehand
Price: Expensive•British•4.5(389)Built in 1839 on an old archery range, this pub quickly became a cherished neighbourhood meeting spot and was frequented by notable locals throughout its history, from Winston Churchill to Tony Blair.
To honour the historical roots of the establishment, offer our take on the quintessential British gastro pub. We aim to be London's only gastro pub sourcing all of our ingredients from the British Isles, and where that is not possible, we look to source ingredients from countries and territories with close links to Britain, such as our lemons from Gibraltar. Our Head Chef champions British produce through culinary favourites such as steak, fish pie, and the classic treacle pudding.Our unique drinks & wine list is also fully sourced from sustainable vineyards, breweries and distilleries across BritainSmith's Bar & Grill
Price: Moderate•British•4.4(1,500)Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, Central London, it is the first place you see when you walk under the bypass behind Paddington Station.
Known for its high ceilings and almost full-length windows, the natural light in Smith’s is just as nourishing and wholesome as the comfortable furnishings and exquisite selection of food and drink that we serve.
The venue is split into the areas:
• Main Restaurant
• Main Bar & Lounge Area
• Outdoor Terrace Canal-side
Smith’s is an ideal venue for weddings, on-location filming, major launch events, and multi-stage music and entertainment events.
The whole venue can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 400 standing. Its proximity to Paddington Station (50 yards from the Hammersmith & City Underground entrance) makes it quick to get to for those coming from out of town.

We liked that we each got to pick our own teas and that we were able to try more than one. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We have 2 teen boys who weren’t sure about the idea at first, but ended up really enjoying themselves. We would go back in a heartbeat!More infoAfternoon Tea at Royal Lancaster LondonPrice: Expensive• Café• Bayswater•4.7
- AAaronLondon •3 reviews5.0Dined on Jul 19, 2025The food over this restaurant was superb and staff were friendly. I love all the food ordered and considered to be a very authentic Malaysian food. The only let down for me is the banana fritters dessert as it’s a bit of let down on the taste when comparing to the banana fritters I grew up with in Malaysia. Albeit the price is on the higher end, the food quality is on the higher end as well.More infoSatay HousePrice: Moderate• Southeast Asian• Paddington•4.7
