THREE OTHER DOCKLANDS RESTAURANTS
JAMIE’S ITALIAN
Jamie’s successful chain has brought colour – and extremely good pasta – to Canary Wharf. It doesn’t take bookings and its busy, but its worth trying your luck for the juicy, well-priced steaks, the spaghetti carbonara and the increasingly famous polenta chips. 2 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, E14 5RB. www.jamieoliver.com
PLATEAU
Sitting up on the fourth floor of Canada Place, Plateau commands rather stunning views across Docklands. It’s a futuristic place, full of light, bright and funky furniture and an undeniable sense of cool, and an enticing modern European menu too. Fourth floor, Canada Place, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, E14 5ER. www.danddlondon.com
THE GUN
Brothers Tom and Ed Martin are behind some of the leading gastropubs in London, including the Swan in Holborn, but The Gun has established the gun is the jewel in the business’s crown. Last week it was named London’s best dining pub by the Good Pub Guide, and who are we to argue? 27 Coldharbour, Docklands, E14 9NS. www.thegundocklands.com
