As much as Shoreditch has been on the rise and there are plenty of places west that mean business, the heart of the capital when it comes to work is undoubtedly Canary Wharf. But it’s just as vibrant and qualified at play as well as work.
Choosing from an express lunch, tapas or larger options, makes it easy to tailor your meal to appetite requirements. Tasty options include paella, fried chorizo lollipops and even a whole roast pig to share.
This classic riverside restaurant is hardly anything new. Perfect for a leisurely lunch, we adored the juicy rib eye steaks and churrasco of chicken on the menu. And if the occasion calls, the cocktails are worth a punt (or three).
Scottish steaks, whisky, live jazz and a cigar room to retire to. What else could you want after a long day at work? Particular culinary highlights include the 10oz New York strip and the rib-steak burger with truffle mayonnaise.

Healthy but very yummy Japanese delights are aplenty at this restaurant right in the heart of Canary Wharf with a menu designed around Japanese robatayaki (charcoal grill).
Special Mention – If you really can’t get away from the desk then we can’t recommend Dhaba Lane enough. Amazing curries and Indian-style sandwiches and salads are available to order online from this unusually delightful mixture of typical lunch fare and Indian specialities.
