• International • Canary Wharf

Booked 51 times today

We’ve long loved Canary Wharf and it's rich history of the nearby Docklands and Billingsgate Market, yet Blacklock in a glass tower never quite fit. One look at an old disused warehouse nestled cosily in the corner of Canary Wharf underneath the train tracks of the North Dock and we knew we had found home. Feel the comforting rumble of trains passing overhead conjuring memories of some of our favourite haunts underneath the bridges in NYC - a place where, with the blinds rolled down and away from prying eyes, a decadent lunch can swiftly roll into dinner.

Incredible venue - incredible atmosphere. We had the sharing steak at £150 for 1.2kg. The flavour was amazing We also opted for the creamed spinach and onion rings. The baked Alaska easily would serve 4 people. Lacked flavour in my opinion BUT was a memory. The entertainment on a Saturday night is also really worth the service charge. We then went into the vault. A very cool place.

the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. while i was waiting for my main course i was given delicious bread and humous. i chose the chicken pide as my main and chocolate cake as my dessert. both were delicious. i was tempted by one of their mocktails, but ran out of time before a matinee at shakespeare’s globe. i’d recommend this restaurant, especially if you’re attending the globe as it’s only across the road.

My friends and I wanted to have a lovely pre-Christmas catch-up in a quiet environment with good food! We got that at Mosaic. We had the pre-theatre menu which was lovely, beautifully presented and tasty. My vegetarian friend went for the vegetarian option and she thoroughly enjoyed it. The service is excellent too, carried out with professionalism, patience and a lovely smile. We will certainly be back.
