    Address: 42 Mackenzie Walk
    E14 5EH
    T: 020 7516 0191

    The Canary Wharf branch of this popular chain. The modern open plan bistro bar overlooks the dockside and recent developments. The breakfast choices range from the decidedly healthy to full English to sweetcorn fritters, smoked salmon and chive crème fraiche. Main meal menus escalate from wraps and paninis to plates and then platters, culminating in the All Bar One Platter at £14: this comprises coriander beef skewers, chargrilled lemon chicken, Cajun fish kebabs, honeyed lamb sausages, garlic and chilli beans, fries and roast garlic and paprika aioli.

  2. Amerigo Vespucci

    Address: 25 Cabot Square, Mackenzie Walk
    E14 4QA
    T: 020 7513 0288


    E: info@amerigovespucci.co.uk

    This Italian restaurant offers both traditional dishes and more inventive ones. An example is Tagliatelle al Salmone: tagliatelle with smoked salmon, seasoned with Fresh dill, vodka, paprika and cream. Seafood features prominently. The restaurant is open on Saturday evenings until 11 o'clock, which is a blessing for a growing number of Canary Wharfers but closed on Sundays. Average food price per person is about £20, but there is also a fixed price two course menu at both lunch and dinner at £15.95.

  3. Brodie's

    Address: 43 Fisherman's Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 5HD
    T: 020 7719 0202

    The food is British brasserie, which is considerably more adventurous than the French variety, with oriental and curry dishes as well as grilled steaks and swordfish. Smoked salmon sandwiches are very reasonable at £4.50, and the house wines are £11.75 the bottle. Closed weekends.

  4. Cafe Rouge (Canary Wharf)

    Address: 29-35 Mackenzie Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 4PH
    T: 020 7537 9696

    The Canary Wharf branch of this popular chain. As the name implies, the emphasis in the restaurant is on French cuisine, but not exclusively. It happily offers 'Le Petit Déjeuner Anglais' (bacon, sausage, mushroom, tomato and egg) during the morning. Most appetites will be well satisfied here for about £15 a head. Open Saturdays for lunch only, closed Sundays.

  5. Carluccio's

    Address: Reuters Plaza, Canary Wharf
    E14 5AJ
    T: 020 7719 1749

    Many busy Canary Wharf people were delighted when this branch of Carluccio's opened up. It's thoughtfully located next to the tube station, and you can drop in to buy dinner party dishes on the way home (recent research indicates that this is a fast-growing trend, the dividing line being between those who happily serve their guests the prepared food as it comes, and those who fiddle with it to make it look home made). Carluccio's is also handy for Italian lunches and dinners eaten in, lunch boxes to take out, and contains a delicatessen offering all manner of Italian delights.

  6. Corney & Barrow

    Address: 9 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf
    E14 4EB
    T: 020 7512 0397


    E: canary.wharf@corneyandbarrow.com

    Wine merchants for over two centuries and holders of three Royal warrants, Corney & Barrow marked a significant stage in the success of Canary Wharf when they opened their wine bar here. It has been described as the apotheosis of smart drinking, the highflyer's oasis, the place girls like to be taken to.

  7. Davy's

    Address: 31-35 Fisherman's Walk, Cabot Square
    E14 4DH
    T: 020 7363 6633

    The Canary Wharf branch of this popular wine bar chain. Dishes of the day, plus old favourites such as ham carved off the bone with new potatoes. Good wine list, as you would expect. About £10 a head for food. Closed weekends.

  8. First Edition

    Address: 25 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf
    E14 4QA
    T: 020 7513 0300

    In the very centre of the Canary Warf financial and publishing empires, but close to the fountains of Cabot Square and views of the dock. Much praised menu including seafood, fusion dishes and Teriyaki. A great spot for a speedy but unhurried lunch, or a civilised evening drinks venue with an excellent wine list. Has been praised as the best place for high quality food and agreeable surroundings in E14. Average meal price is £32.

  9. Gourmet Pizza Company

    Address: 18-20 Mackenzie Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 4PH
    T: 020 7345 9192

    Friendly service at this pizzeria, close to most Canary Wharf attractions. Original pizzas too, such as Californian Vegetable Pizza at £7.95 and Chinese Duck Pizza at £9. The latter includes Peking-style duck, Hoi Sin and plum sauce. What they would make of it in Italy is hard to say, but judging by the attendance it all goes down pretty well in London Docklands.

  10. Slug & Lettuce

    Address: 30 South Colonnade, Canary Wharf
    E14 4QQ
    T: 020 7519 1612


    E: SlugandLettuce.CanaryWharf@bayrestaurantgroup.com

    Good, imaginative food at reasonable prices. A typical special is chargrilled salmon supreme on caesar salad at £7.00. Good position overlooking the 'dock' garden and central Canary Wharf plaza. House wines are £11.00 a bottle.

  11. Smollensky's

    Address: Hermitage Wharf, Wapping
    E1W 1NJ
    T: 020 7680 1818

    Stunning views towards Tower Bridge from this popular American bar and grill. The emphasis is on steaks, but there is also a wide choice of fish and vegetarian dishes, with leisurely brunches served at weekends. Or go the whole hog, so to speak, with the 24 ounce New York rib of beef. Expect to pay about £20 a head. The wine list strikes a balance between the New World and the Old.

  12. The Cat & Canary

    Address: 25-27 Fisherman's Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 4DH
    T: 020 7512 9187

    Canary Wharf was named after the Canary Islands, but for all that, jokes about birds and felines have been popular from the start of this visionary project. Much of the furniture in the pub is from old churches, including a pulpit and a confession box, which now houses a telephone booth. This is perhaps the nearest thing to a traditional pub in the immediate area, a fact which seems to be enthusiastically attested by the presence of local workers from journalists in their corduroys to bankers in their pinstripes. Authentic pub food and Fuller's beers.

  13. The Fine Line

    Address: 29 - 30 Fisherman's Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 4DH
    T: 020 7513 0255


    E: fineline.canarywharf@fullers.co.uk

    Perhaps so named because the interior marks a fine line between restaurant, bar and comfortable sitting room. Plenty of good beers, even more cocktails, and a short but satisfactory wine list. The food is Mediterranean in feeling and good in quality.

  14. The Henry Addington

    Address: 22-28 Mackenzie Walk, Canary Wharf
    E14 4PH
    T: 020 7513 0921

    One of forgotten Prime Minister Henry Addington's few claims to fame is that he opened West India Docks in 1802. Today, he is remembered by this bar, a contender in the ever changing 'longest bar in Britain' stakes. The thoughtful short menu includes a garlic roasted mushroom spinach and tomato wrap at £5.25, build your own burgers at £6.80, and Chicken Teriyaki at £7.90. House wines are £11.85 the bottle, or £3.95 for a (generous) glass. There is a live DJ on Thursday and Friday evenings.
