Scottish steak sensation at Boisdale
Named after the remote port on the beautiful Isle of South Uist in the Outer Hebrides, Boisdale brings Highland hospitality to the heart of London. At their location in Cabot Place, they serve up world-famous dishes ranging from Aberdeen steak to Scottish salmon across their two restaurants and four Canary Wharf private dining rooms – but the magic doesn’t stop there. There’s the Hine Bar & Garden terrace to enjoy, the UK’s largest whisky bar, a Cuban Cigar Library and a live music venue where they are open late and feature a host of regular acts thanks to Jools Holland – Boisdale’s Patron of Music presenting the very best in jazz, blues, soul and occasionally rock’n’roll. To get everyone in the swing of things over the holidays, sing along to The Definitive Rat Pack Christmas Party or tuck into a Sinatra Christmas Lunch – amongst other favourites.
Sustainable seafood at Fish Game
Having opened in July, Fish Game will be celebrating its first Christmas on Water Street this year with the best of British sustainable seafood. Alongside their popular menu from the UK’s lands and waters, cooked simply over fire and charcoal, they have a beautiful private dining room in Canary wharf – perfect for festive celebrations. The multi-course menu immerses you in a flavourful feast, where favourites range from trout on toast to Cornish monkfish and ribeye off the bone.
Carbon positive cocktails at Hawksmoor Wood Wharf
Housed in an eco-friendly floating pavilion, Hawksmoor Wood Wharf are masters of sustainable seafood and steak. Certified B Corp, the Canary Wharf hotspot is popular for its delicious fare, its buzzy atmosphere and its seasonal cocktails. With the autumn/winter menu we’ve become big fans of their carbon positive gin and their Pear-Nicillin cocktail made from Glenmorangie X, Laphroaig, pear, lemon and ginger.
Organic high at MMy Wood Wharf
This sustainable community market is like Christmas has come early for foodies with a social conscience. From organic wines to an international feast of groceries and freshly prepared food and drink, tuck into iconic Badiani gelato, pizza and pasta or sip on craft beers, coffee and more. There’s a grocery store so you can continue cooking up a storm at home, and don’t forget that while you’re here there’s The TAM – a Jazz Club on the lower ground floor – for live music ranging from Jazz, Blues, Neo Soul and open mics.
Freshly farmed at Pedler

Now showcasing their British Christmas menu, favourite dishes include a crab and crayfish cocktail, smoked haddock, mini Yorkshire puddings, baked salmon, fried venison and a veggie wellington, not to mention a delicious blackberry ‘fool’.
Innovative indulgence at Six by Nico
Famous for their innovative, themed menus, Six by Nico at 6 Chancellor Passage is dining with added whimsical appeal – appropriate for the holiday season. Taking the sense of enchantment to new heights, they feature a new six-course tasting menu every six weeks courtesy of chef/proprietor, Nico Simeone, who was born and raised in Glasgow and has sprinkled his particular brand of stardust across the UK ever since. We can’t wait to see what he cooks up this Christmas!
Leisurely luxe at The Ivy in the Park
Renowned for its refined but casual all-day dining, The Ivy in the Park is in one of the Wharf’s most sustainable buildings, inviting you to enjoy company with friends or watch the world go by in style. For the holiday season they have launched their dedicated British Christmas dinner menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, not to mention a set New Year’s Eve menu as well.
