    beautiful views and while i only had the opportunity to try the duck & waffle dish, it was spot on! the duck leg came a top a half belgian waffle with a fried duck egg on top. the flavors were all delicious and the mustard seed maple syrup.rounded out the dish perfectly. the restaurant has 360 degree views of london from the 40th floor. the ambiance was a bit loud with a mixture of families and people on business.

    Best meal I had in London ever - the foie gras crème brûlée was to die for
    Sallie D.

    The best meal I have had in London out of all the times I visited. The duck and waffle is perfection and the foie gras crème brûlée is to die for. Prices are reasonable. Views are nice. Open 24 hours. What more can you ask for.

    View from our table!

    Everything about this place was excellent. The food was good and the prices were not bad considering the location. The view was unbeatable. If you're able to get a seat by the window, it's worth it. Service was good as well. I have no complaints. Will certainly go back.

    Ahh Duck and Waffle. Nothing screams "I'm cool" quite like naming your restaurant after the dish you want everyone to order. Bit on the nose, but I respect the commitment. Perched 40 floors up, this spot offers views for days. You feel like you're having dinner in the clouds or at least in a Bond villain's penthouse. Me and my brother rocked up without a reservation, which was a gamble. The kind of gamble that got us gently escorted to the bar like two lads who just wandered in off the street. Now I'm no stranger to a cold shoulder, but they really leaned into it. Treated like third-class passengers on a ship full of influencers and finance bros. No comfy booth. Just two stools and a reminder that spontaneity has consequences. Still, I'll give credit where it's due. The bar staff picked up the slack. Friendly, efficient, never let our glasses get lonely. We ordered food, and no surprise here, I went with the duck and waffle. It delivered. Crispy duck laid over a fluffy waffle with just enough sweet drizzle to make you raise an eyebrow and smile. Worth every bite. My brother went for the lobster roll. He's used to the warm, buttery kind you find in Maryland. This one came out cold. Not cool. Cold. Still tasted alright but he looked like someone handed him an ice cream sandwich when he asked for a steak. To sum it up, Duck and Waffle has style, but only if you're on the list. Without a reservation, expect a touch of humility before the luxury. The food made up for it in the end, but next time, I'll plan ahead or at least wear a nicer watch.

    The bacon wrapped dates

    We stopped by around 9pm on a Saturday night. Even though we had a reservation, we still waited a few minutes for our table. There's a little bar area where you can grab a drink while you wait, but our table was ready before we could even make a choice. We lucked out with a great spot by the window facing east--perfect view of the Gherkin, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. For a summer night, it was amazing to watch the city shift from day to night. Our waitress was super helpful and walked us through how the menu works. We were excited to hear everything is freshly made, and we loved watching the kitchen crew in action. To start, we had the bacon-wrapped dates--absolutely delicious. For mains, we ordered the roasted lamb and the signature duck and waffle. The duck and waffle was a standout--a fun, elevated twist on the classic chicken and waffles. The maple mustard was *so* good. For dessert, my husband had the sticky toffee pudding and I went with the Biscoff cheesecake. Oh my gosh--it was incredible. I seriously wanted to lick the plate. My husband had a glass of wine, and I got the waffle mocktail, which honestly tasted just like a waffle in a glass. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd love to come back. Bonus points for being open 24 hours--it's nice to know you can pop in for a late-night bite. Just a heads-up: the late-night menu kicks in at midnight and is different from the regular one.

    Food and service was excellent. I booked in advanced and told them I want seats with a nice sunset view and they did not disappoint. Thank you. We'll be back for sure.

    Came here solo because I had a few days to myself while in London and was excited to try this place. I had a reservation, took the long elevator ride up (which has a view of the city while you're on it), and got to the top which had a little bar and huge windows for viewing the city. I waited there for a moment until someone got me and took me to my table. There was a pause on the way to the table where the person leading me was talking to someone over their earpiece. Slightly awkward because it seemed like they were deciding where to put me (probably as a solo diner). But either way, I was eventually seated by the window. All the tables offer a great view of the city (some have slightly nicer scenery but overall all have a good view). I had to, of course, order the duck and waffle and I got some hot tea to go with it. Everything came out extremely fast. The food is really delicious and it's what they specialize in so I'd expect great quality. The duck is super crispy yet tender and juicy inside. The waffle is good but nothing special - could be crispier on the outside. It's also only a half waffle but it's such a filling dish I don't think it needs to be bigger. The egg is good too I just wish it was possible to change the preparation but since it's their speciality there are no modifications. Overall I would recommend but for groups or couples. It's very loud and not super comfy so for solo dining it wasn't my favorite spot, but definitely worth trying if you're in London and want a higher end brunch. They're also open 24 hours with slightly different menu options available for early breakfast and late night.

    French toast
    Elizabeth X.

    Great food. Duck was crispy and went well with the waffle in a funny play on the classic meal. The French toast was my favorite though--soft and with an amazing custard on top. View from the 40th floor is of course beautiful, although the elevator ride is a bit scary with tie glass windows. Somehow still pretty busy at Friday ~ 12 AM, but we didn't need reservations.

    Duck & Waffle - yum but rude service.

    Delicious! But...trade off for super rude and indifferent staff - you get the best of both! We're glad we went, but the service is lacking. They messed up our order and no sh*ts were given. Then, after we'd spent a fortune, it was too much to ask for a photo. Got a response like we were asking the guy to wipe our ar*e. It's worth going once, and that's it.

    Uniqueness: Signature Duck & Waffle dish with incredible city views Wait Time: *** (Can be a wait without a reservation) Food Quality: ***** (Delicious, especially the signature dish) Service: *** (Good overall, but birthday dessert was tiny) Setting: ***** (Amazing views, stylish bar) Cost: *** (Pricy, but worth it for the experience) Duck & Waffle is a must-visit for the views alone, but the food holds its own too. Their signature duck & waffle dish is fantastic--crispy, savory, and just the right amount of indulgent. The bar is stylish, adding to the upscale experience. There was a bit of a wait since we didn't have a reservation, but that's expected at a place like this. Went for my birthday and got a tiny dessert, which felt underwhelming, but otherwise, the experience was great. Definitely worth a visit!

    Pork Belly

    I went to London for the very first time this November and while I was there, I went to duck and waffle twice My first time was night one when I could not sleep due to the time difference from LA to London I knew duck and waffle was a 24 hour eatery and I decided to check it out With no reservation and it being two in the morning, I took a stroll and asked the hostess. If she could see me she said it would've been a 10 minute wait and showed me to the bar. Shortly after the host took me to my table the place was beautifully decorated for Christmas. The views were immaculate being 40 feet up while most of London slept. My first time there, I was limited to their late night menu given that it was two in the morning, so all their options were available I ordered the date, the cheesy polenta the crème brûlée Frois gras, Colombian eggs, which I ended up taking to go and their plum crumble dessert Even for it being their late night, menu quality was immaculate. Taste was amazing and it became my new hyper fixation that I couldn't wait to go back. For my last meal, I went here for lunch, which was a little bit more difficult to get a reservation prior I attempted to book online with no avail and then it ended up calling their number to speak to somebody and get a 1 PM reservation I showed up a bit early and they were able to accommodate my seats 30 minutes before my reservation time which was nice this time because I showed up during the daytime. My menu options weren't limited. Given it was my first of the day and last meal in London, I was able to order a bit more than I normally would have I ordered their cappuccino. They're non-alcoholic cherry velvet drizzle drink, of course the date. I also ordered their octopus and their pork belly. Again, no complaints. Everything was delicious. I was so sad to be leaving London and not have duck and waffle so I opted to purchase their cookbook for both myself and a friend of mine who is in the culinary industry. I cannot recommend duck and waffle enough.

    Very beautiful space that's on the 40th floor. We came here around 5:30 am due to jet lag and we were told we needed reservations because they were still prepping food. We responded that online it says they are open 24 hours 7 days a week. The guy told us to come back at 6:10/6:15 am, so we walked around Liverpool station across the street. It was a bit annoying but what are you going to do. We went up the elevators and it's a straight shot up to the 40th floor with plenty of glass and views. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and talked about his recent trip to California. We ordered a fresh orange juice, the Colombian eggs, duck and waffle, a side of hash browns, and the matcha latte. It was weird because the matcha latte was listed under coffee, and when we asked the waiter she said there was coffee in it and matcha powder and that there must be coffee in it because it was listed under coffee. When we received it, there was definitely no coffee in the drink. The hash browns were very salty and the avocado toast was basic with some like in the avocado. The columbian eggs had really good flavor though. And the duck and waffle was good with solid taste though it was on the saltier side and there was only half a waffle with the entire meal. Considering the price, there could be some improvements.

    Nice steak restaurant with high quality steaks/food, but I have to say, it is very overpriced…read more Chateaubriand steak (93 GBP for 600g) - This lean cut of steak was cooked to a perfect medium and pretty good. However, it was a whopping 93 GBP for 600g, which is meant to share between 2 people, but still not that much (refer to my pic). This is simply just too high of a price for this. Bone marrow and onions (12 GBP) - This was surprisingly good. Although the marrow itself didn't have much of a flavor, it was a nice buttery consistency to spread on the bread. The onions were cooked very well. Sticky Toffee Pudding (9.50 GBP) - This was more of a bread like dessert than a pudding, but was tasty and not overly sweet despite the toffee (which is good). The staff are very friendly, helpful, and attentive. The service speed is pretty quick. The interior is decorated in a nice yet not too pretentious steakhouse style. There were still plenty of open tables available on a Sunday night. Overall, while the steak and food are very good, the steak is simply too overpriced to justify me getting it again. Maybe worth trying once but not twice. I would potentially come back for the other menu options though.

    We are staying here at the counting house, but this review is about our dinner…read more We had dinner at the counting house for the last night of our London leg of our trip. I just have to say in general, everyone at this hotel and pub are just extraordinarily friendly and helpful. I'm not that familiar with pub culture and apparently the way it works is that you have to go up to the bar to order your food. I asked the hostess about it and she said that if we want a waitress there is an added service charge. We were on three walking tours that day and we're exhausted so I didn't care about paying the service charge. We started off with Yorkshire, puddings and gravy. I'm from the US. I don't usually get to have a Yorkshire pudding so I wanted to try it. It's kind of like a popover with gravy. The Yorkshire pudding was okay but the gravy was delicious. I saved the gravy and used it for the next part of my meal. We both had fish and chips. Unlike the US when I ask for malt vinegar, they know what it was and had it right away. I can't tell you how often in the US I'm giving red vinegar. The the fish and chips were spectacular. The fish was crispy even after sprinkling on the vinegar. The fries were very nice. Not as good as blacklock but very nice. And I am fry snob. My wife ordered sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I couldn't even finish my fries, so I passed. Overall a very nice meal and perfect for us as we were exhausted from walking all day and only had to go upstairs to our room afterwards.

Got the gravy on the side, didn't think I'd use all of it, before I knew it, it was all gone.

I will be mixing mustard into my mashed potatoes from now on. Originally came for the sticky toffee pudding, so of course we ended with that. Marvelous! The toffee sauce is so comforting and rich, the cake was so moist, and it was perfectly balanced with the ice cream. Didn't detect any dates, maybe they were too finely chopped. Also the apple and blackberry crumble just didn't hit the same; it was slightly dry and on the sour side (maybe don't take a bite directly after the pudding!)
