New Food & Drink

You can’t miss it: coffee shop and bar 640East is made from up-cycled shipping containers and is already a firm local favourite in Montgomery Square. Need a caffeine fix? Only ethically sourced specialty grade coffee here, with a Galeta pastry on the side if you like. Book a spot for your next brew; plenty of outdoor and covered seating here too.

Inspired by the original chophouses that sprang up across London in the 18th century, Blacklock champions premium chops, steaks, lunch-break-friendly bites and cocktails aplenty – with its meat all directly sourced from Cornwall and a waste-reducing Pip to Peel philosophy in place. This award-winning chophouse has found its new home in a disused warehouse which in a former life provided local police with holding cells; on the same site, under the train tracks of North Dock, Blacklock promises ‘good times matched with good deeds’.

If a morning or post-lunch (or even early evening if that floats your boat) coffee is part of your ritual, setting the tone for whatever’s next, then Blank Street is the place for you. The first Blank Street only launched in 2020 in Brooklyn, NYC, but you’ll now find its quality brews all over London, including right here in Canada Place. ‘Rituals matter, and great rituals make your life better’, declares the Blank Street team. Try its coffee by specialty brand Origin Coffee Roasters plus fresh, locally sourced food.

‘A cinnamon bun isn’t going to save the world, but it’s not a bad place to start.’ Hear hear. And no cutting corners either; at Buns From Home, the croissant dough is made from scratch every day. ‘Home’ was once the founder Barney’s kitchen but enough of you loved his buns that he has a bit more help nowadays. The not-so-secret, and vital, ingredient for each bun is butter, sourced from a Normandy dairy. If your colleagues are looking on with envy, send them the online office order form, for 36 buns or more.

Championing a #goodcarbs ethos, loved by Londoners since 2011 and now open right here with welcoming smiles in One Canada Square – ciao, Coco di Mama. What do you fancy? Award-winning pasta? A hearty salad, or warming soup? Or perhaps ‘the best coffee in the city’, according to City AM. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to check out the sweet treats; if you don’t know what a biscoff bomboloni is, it’s time to find out. Mangiamo! Let’s eat.

This new local restaurant is the brainchild of the same man who founded the popular Macellaio RC Italian restaurants; at Fish Game, Roberto Costa promises a similarly high-quality menu that showcases the most seasonal, sustainable ingredients and only the best British game and fish – hence the name – cooked over fire and charcoal. Diners can enjoy sipping the famous Mexican spirit at Fish Game’s very own tequila bar, and wine made by small artisan producers. The restaurant itself, populated by carefully-curated vintage and reused furniture, will feature a charcoal grill and octopus wood carvings, as well as a private dining room.

Fuwa Fuwa, the UK’s first Japanese souffle pancakes concept are handcrafted to order using a special secret recipe and finest ingredients to ensure the pancakes are always fresh, warm and super fluffy.

For coffee drinking with a good conscience, coffee shop and retailer Grind ticks all the boxes. Beans are sourced directly from smallholders around the world and farmers paid significantly more than the rates set by Fairtrade; all its coffee is free from pesticides or artificial additives; Grind tins and packaging are recyclable AND its pods are certified home compostable, making them the most sustainable alternative on the market. Londoners drink two million cups of Grind coffee a year, making it a genuine force for good.

Indulge your senses in an explosion of flavours as we present you with a menu inspired by the rich tapestry of Indian street cuisine.

The plant-based movement across London is picking up pace and Mallow’s dishes are sustainable, local sourcing, minimal waste and veggie creations that are as beautifully presented and flavoursome as they are inventive. It is being brought to Canary Wharf by the team behind Mildreds, to the delight of local vegans and vegetarians already aware of its unique plant-based dishes. With its atmospheric split-level layout and year-round terrace, designed with references to Mallow’s Borough Market site, is this one of the best restaurants in Canary Wharf? We’d say so, but you can find out for yourself.

The freshest seafood served waterside, with views of the river, cityscape and beyond? Now you’re talking. It’s run by one family with a serious passion for seafood; Mustafa Topkaya is proud to lead the kitchen together with his children Jamie and Felicity. This restaurant is the ideal place if you and your dining companions appreciate the best seasonal seafood; Oysteria serves everything from oysters – of course – and octopus to perfectly cooked squid, scallops, sole and more.

The name Pho is synonymous with 100 per cent authentic, fresh and absolutely delicious Vietnamese street food, all made in-house. If you haven’t yet tried its signature dish – steaming, aromatic noodle soup – now’s the time. More than a quarter of the main menu is vegan, and there’s a great kids’ menu too.

Qube East’s bar and lounge is a brand-new epicentre for creatives across East London. The venue offers weekly events, in-house DJs and stylish interiors with an emphasis on connecting creators across all disciplines.

This cult Aussie brand is known not just for its distinctive bottles, sought-after scents and ethically-sourced formulations; it also takes care to choose new locations where they can add ‘something of merit’. So the Aesop design team researched Canary Wharf’s history as one of the busiest docks in the world while also taking into account its current significance as a hub for London’s banking and financial services: the result, a store that is an assemblage of items from across Europe, housed within a chestnut brown container and creating a warm, enveloping ambiance. So give Aesop a warm welcome and explore its skin, hair and body care products, right here in Canary Wharf.
