We've known for a while that the team behind Fallow were opening in Canary Wharf and now we know what the restaurant will be called - Roe.

Des Gunewardena was one of the duo that set up D&D (Bluebird, Coq D'Argent) but stepped away in 2022. Since then, he's started up a new restaurant group and previously revealed plans to open in The Royal Exchange in the City. Now, he's one

You'll soon have a good reason to get stuck at Canary Wharf tube station when Karapincha, a new Sri Lankan restaurant from twin sisters Vasanthini and Dharshini Perumal, opens its doors.

...D&D restaurants have been shutting a few places recently as they restructure, with Avenue and Radici both closing earlier this year. But arguably their highest-profile closure so far is Plateau in Canary Wharf which has just shut the doors.

The man behind Macellaio RC, Roberto Costa, is trying something different for his next opening, Fish Game in Canary Wharf.

Following their Borough Market opening back in 2021, a second plant-based Mallow restaurant is on the way to Canary Wharf.
Mallow comes from the same people behind the Mildreds restaurants but here they're a 100% plant-based affair. And for Canary Wharf, the menu will include a few new dishes like:
We've seen dining pods pop up from time to time across London, most notably on the south bank of The Thames, but M Restaurants are doing something a little different with theirs. They're stacking a lot of Himalayan salt in them (around the diners, of course).

Wagyu steaks and more in Canary Wharf
They've been in Peckham for a while, but now neighbourhood restaurant Pedler has found a brand new neighbourhood in Canary Wharf.
They've moved from Peckham, and have taken over the space that used to be Shutters. As with the Peckham original, the focus will be on their produce, including fish direct from day-boat fishermen, so you can expect a changing seasonal menu. A taste of that
