About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
A live­ly restau­rant and music venue serv­ing mod­ern British food, featuring the UK's largest whisky bar, a heated garden ter­race, a cig­ar shop and humidor, over­look­ing the City of London skyline.

The high capacity restaurant is on the second floor of a Gotham City-style Art Deco building overlooking the fountains in Cabot Square, Boisdale of Canary Wharf Restaurant is one of the most majestic premises to have opened in the area.

It bears the distinctive Boisdale design of lacquer red and dark green walls, rich mahogany panelling, and an eclectic collection of classical and modern original artwork. The Whisky bar is one of the most extensive in the world, with over 1000 malt whiskeys and expert bartenders are on hand to guide you through the impressive range, and create hand-crafted unique cocktails suited to your taste.

There is also a ticketed live music show every night except for Mondays, and Jools Holland is Boisdale's Patron of Music.

    I believe my experience isn’t representative of Boisdale but I was informed the Scottish Steak Supper I booked wasn’t available on Saturdays. The manager was indifferent and kept my family waiting. We ordered something else but the steak was overcooked and nowhere near medium. The service standard isn’t up to par with modern establishments. Staff need better training.

    Wouldn't go again. Super expensive for what it was. We had the herring starter which was sold out but a variant gravalax was given (we were told which was fine) but it had no flavour whatsoever. My rib eye was slightly warm on arrival and no seasoning or flavour. We also has to wait for 10 minutes before being served when sat even though staff were flying past us attending to others. Attentative after being told so maybe just bad luck. Not worth the very high bill at all. If you like live jazz and whisky go. If your a foodie, maybe try elsewhere.

    We went at 6 pm, which is very early so rather empty. However, the food was excellent and the service really good.

    It is a convenient location close to the tube and DLR. We went early evening and so it wasn't too busy. There seemed to be a lot of staff, but they were not particularly attentive. We had to chase for drinks that were slow in arriving and the food also took a while to arrive. The food was Ok, but nothing special.

    We used to enjoy Boisdale’s Jazz Sunday Lunch, and after some time away, we decided to book lunch. The menu has changed, possibly more competitively priced but unfortunately the quality of the food has suffered. The whitebait starter was small and a little dry, the roast pork was sliced, looked synthetic and tasted very bland, the roast potatoes had dense skins and the carrots and cabbage were also bland and looked unappetising. It also wasn’t very hot. We had a selection of cheese for dessert (£6 supplement), again disappointing - the cheeses were too cold and hard, hence tasteless. The jazz band were good but too loud so it hindered any conversation. However, our waitress was very good. The restaurant wasn’t very busy which we found unusual compared to lunches in the past. We were very disappointed overall and would not recommend. We will not return.
