    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Truly enjoyed the spectacular view from the restaurant located on the 40th floor! We celebrated our anniversary at this beautiful restaurant which is very accessible by public transportation. It has its own elevator going up directly to its floor and the ride was fun and quick. We went in mid-November and the Christmas decorations made it extra romantic. We got lucky to be seated immediately without reservation since it was a very late lunch/early dinner. When we left, the restaurant was filled up with people having dinners or drinks by the bar. Would recommend making reservations since the restaurant isn't huge. Note that it is open 24/7 which is a bonus! Service was quick and attentive! Food was great. The duck was crispy. We got to see the city from daylight to night which was perfect. Would highly recommend this restaurant especially if you are visiting London the first time and/or celebrating a special occasion.

    Came here for lunch with my friends and had an absolutely amazing meal. The service was fantastic- everyone was so friendly and helpful throughout our meal. The views from the restaurant were so beautiful - you could see much of the city and looks out towards the water. The restaurant itself is also very clean and nicely decorated - perfect for date night or just some sort of fancy dinner. The food and drinks were all delicious! I would highly recommend the Foie Gras Crème Brulee and the Caramelized Banana Waffles. They were absolute treats to die for. The house bread is also worth a try and the beef tartar was very well seasoned. The famous Duck and Waffle did not disappoint!! I would highly recommend their cocktails and mocktails - we asked the server for recommendations and all got drinks that we loved! Would highly recommend for a nicer, fancier meal out!!

    First time staying in London, and we were tired of just getting hotel breakfast every morning. My friend looked up this spot through google, and we decided to go, which was the best decision to make! It's in a cool building downtown on the 40th floor, with an amazing view of the city all around! The food was outstanding!! I had the Duck & Waffle with maple mustard syrup, with a side of fancy hash browns. The duck was cooked to perfection, crisp and rich all at the same time, with a perfectly sized fluffy half waffle to pair it with. I would definitely come back here to try everything else, as well as take in the views and the casual ambience

We had a party of 13 so I understand there would be somewhat of a wait and that the whole Dining experience might take a while. We dined on a Tuesday night and the place was quite busy! It took at least 30 minutes from sitting down to get our drinks and another 10 on top of that for them to bring out some bottles of water. It seemed like our server was training someone new. They could have been more efficient, but it took a long time for them both to go around the table and enter in our orders. We were at a work after hours function so we all ordered from the 3 courses for 45 quid option. All of the starters sounded good, but I was slightly disappointed in the drunken dumplings as there were only 2, but the presentation was cool with them pouring the broth into the bowl at the table. I wish I had ordered the cheddar and shrimp toasties as they looked quite good! This place has awesome & fun cocktails, hence the Alchemist name. I didn't realize this at first so ordered a Mai Tai which was not nearly as exciting as some of what my colleagues ordered. Second time around I ordered the red zombie which came out smoking with a test tube vial of absinthe to add in! Definitely cool, but also a bit strong. I had the ribeye steak for my main. It was delicious! The cauliflower and potatoes very good too. Had the next level chocolate brownie for dessert. My only thought is it could have used a bigger scoop of ice cream compared to the size of the brownie but it was delicious! So good, in fact, that I had to finish every last crumb. The ambiance was nice. The bathroom was clean, but a little hard to locate. All in all, I would definitely come back if in the area again.

    One of the better cocktail menus I've ever experienced anywhere in the world. The presentation was…read morefantastic, but the flavors were also spot on. Very unique, yet approachable. We did not eat, but would absolutely recommend the cocktail experience.

And that meant we got to sit in this tiny tucked away little corner archway for just us 4 peeps and it was totally awesome. The cocktails were lovely and I really enjoyed our time here.

It's really refreshing to have the actual owner come talk to you and show interest in how you heard of the place and how you Found (ha!) it. He was lovely, and so were the cocktails, and so was Found.

    This place must be new right or is it that hidden that no one FOUND it?…read more The bar staff are really cool and funny also happy for us to keep a tab going. The smell of fresh paint, with it's a lovely warm atmosphere, magnolia walls, dark wood, candles on each table and lots of cocktails to choose from makes it a great after work or pre-party venue. I got the cocktail which was the first on the menu and it was called Frothy Lady (I think). Very sweet and hardly tasted the alcohol. The espresso cocktail tasted great too but couldn't taste the alcohol. So it got me wondering if they were being stingy or were they just really good. The jalapeño pretzels were really nice and the olives had too much lemon on them for my liking but I was hungry so ate them all anyway. It's next to The Book Club and a short walk from Old Street so if you're around give it a try!
