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.

Some of the small plates were amongst the best things I’ve eaten. The XO toast and the ceviche were standouts. Our mains were nice but less memorable. Go big on the small plates.

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.

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.

A great pre-theatre meal, food was great, as were the cocktails and good service.

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.

Nice venue, with nice decor and ambience with very friendly staff. My wife’s duck was very good, as were both starters. My chicken tikka burger was very salty and the chicken very small but otherwise good. A little on the expensive side.
