    Went to this place for brunch based on a friend’s recommendation. First things first, the view from this place is absolutely amazing! We got a corner table in order to enjoy the view fully. We ordered 2 Colombian eggs, the lemon meringue waffle, caramelized banana, and some drinks. The lemon meringue waffle was alright.. the caramelized banana was good, but the Colombian eggs were absolutely great! I do not like neither eggs nor avocado toast, but I absolutely loved it! The service was really good, we were seated very quickly, and they checked with us continuously till the order was completed. Lastly, make sure you book at least a week ahead in order to get a good table, and ask for a corner table as well! All in all, I liked this place a lot and I would absolutely pay it another visit.

    To be honest, it was only okay. Not too sure where the hype comes from. Yes, it's nice having a meal over the roofs of London, but this also depends on which side you sit, I guess. I asked for a nice table when making a booking weeks in advance, as we had a birthday to celebrate, but it got ignored. I also noticed that another table got a free birthday treat, and we did not, which was a little disappointing. The food was okay, but mine was really salty (avocado waffle), but my friend liked hers (duck leg). It was a little surprising that it was only half a waffle, as this was not stated anywhere. For these prices, you'd expect a little more. After 50 minutes we were asked to leave, as it's only 1h for 2 people. So definitely not a place to catch up if you're planning to. Otherwise, our waitress was lovely.

    The restaurant has the best view of London Bridge and the Thames. We went there for dinner and sat near the window. It was stunning when the buildings, bridges and rivers were covered with golden color during the sunset. The atmosphere was excellent as well. And the food, all the dishes were great. The signature duck is crispy and delicious! The otpus and tartar were also very tasty. And the lamp ribs, salad and this we're good too. The food and the view it certainly deserves to have a meal there!

    I have fond memories of this restaurant ,but undoubtedly the best time to visit is around Christmas. The decor is amazing, almost overlooked the not so great service. It’s less smooth as it used to be. We got served with random food we never ordered. However the food and wine was fabulous.

    Good food, Duck & waffle is definitely a must you need to try. Service is not very good, the waiters took too long to serve, not very polite for the cost we paid, total £138. Good view at night but even though I booked 1 month in advance, no chance for the good view table. Overall not worth the hype, so don’t book it for your special event or you will regret it, normal dinner is fine.

    Amazing restaurant, high in the sky!! Wonderful, inventive, delicious food and attentive service. Our waiter, Chris, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the ingredients. He was very helpful in describing the size of dishes when we were choosing from the menu. The gentleman on the door downstairs was also very polite and welcoming. The cheese souffle was the star of the show, magnificent. Thank you, Duck and Waffle team.

    Great evening out. A little pricey but it is generally good food. The views are amazing, try to catch sunset on a clear day. Booking at a sensible time can be a challenge but not impossible some weeks ahead. Also used for a corporate event. Set menu options are good and much better value for money compared with similar in the vicinity or at the Shard.

  • 5/5 Sophia Phuong T. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing restaurant with spectacular view high up of London. I was there in the morning on a weekday so it wasn't busy. I was offered to seat next to window which was amazing view of London.The food was very good as well as cocktails. Menu is simple but it bought out the best selection. Staff was very attentive and well knowledge. They were all very friendly. Another good thing about the restaurant is that they open 24/7. It's the only restaurant I can visit despite anytime of the day. However, booking is essential during busy hours.

    We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at Duck and Waffle. The waiters were wonderful and extremely tentative, which led to our food and drink being quickly ordered and delivered to our table. True praise should be given to them. The food was delicious and as we were celebrating a Birthday, Duck and Waffle also provided a lovely cake with a Happy Birthday inscription written on the plate. This was incredible and truly enhanced the experience. With a spectacular view of London, I would highly recommend visiting Duck and Waffle at sunrise or sunset.

    Amazing place! When in London, it is worth eating there with a beautiful view of London. The breakfast was delicious! Very nice service. It is worth making reservations in advance. When in London🇬🇧, you must visit this place and eat a good meal with a beautiful view 😇.

    I enjoyed lunch at this beautiful restaurant. It’s situated on the 39th floor so the views of London are amazing. The customer service was great. I was initially seated at an inside table but asked to be reseated near the window so that I could take in the breath taking views and they facilitated my request. The Duck and waffles was great and so was the Lobster Mac and cheese. I would definitely recommend.

    My experience at Duck and Waffle restaurant was truly amazing and unforgettable. the friendly and attentive staff made it remarkable. The food was absolutely delicious. Each dish was a treat, with fresh ingredients and a wonderful mix of flavors that really stood out. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented, making every bite enjoyable. What really made the experience special was the incredible view. Eating while looking out over the city was breathtaking. It added a whole new level of enjoyment to the meal, making it not just about the food but also about the unique setting. Overall, my visit to Duck and Waffle was fantastic. The great food, excellent service, and stunning views all came together to make it a meal to remember. I can't wait to go back and experience it all over again.

    Once again a very interesting combination and concept. I had never tried duck with a waffle but I was pleasantly surprised! The prices were accessible and the food was very delicious! What I really liked about the restaurant was that it was on the 40th floor and the view was mesmerising. Otherwise the service was also great and we had a good time. I definitely recommend eating here - very unique experience!

  • 4/5 Kristen H. 3 months ago on Google • 47 reviews New
    I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the location as I wasn't prepared for it to be in one of the top floors of the building. That being said, I wouldn't rate the food for the price you end up paying. Yes, the signature duck and waffle was good, as well as the lobster soup. However, the steak could have been better as well as cooked more evenly, the ox cheek donut left more to be desired, and when they said the Mac & Cheese was a large enough portion that my kids could share.... we ended up ordering another as the size is only enough for 1. All in all, we had a good meal, but I don't feel it was worth the price we paid.

    This is an outstanding venue to visit. The ride alone to the restaurant is breathtaking and the views once you're there even more so. The service stands out most of all. Efficient and attentive. The food is a limited menu but every item was delicious and full of flavour. A few more choices wouldn't have gone amiss. Do not miss out on getting some fries... Even though they are a side dish.. They are unbelievably tasty. The duck and waffle signature dish was gobbled up by everyone and highly commended... A little like a Chinese crispy aromatic duck but not really?!? Hard to explain but worth getting. Definitely a place to take anyone to impress - it's mostly a young crowd and very Instagramable.

    The view was very limited from the bar and I believe there is better rooftop restaurants and bars in London. The bar is situated on 39th floor and the view is bit restricted from other buildings. There is many drinks options and they are bit more pricey than normal bars. The service was just okay. All together was great experience the best is getting up in the lift.

    Amazing view, but if you don't get a table right next to the window it's not much. Food is great, we found the duck and waffle and desserts were quite ordinary but the other small plates were great. Service was fine but nothing to write home about. And it was a very busy evening even on weekdays, if you're looking for intimate dinner, this might not be the best option. Overall with the price, I guess it's just one for the experience.

  • 4/5 Natalie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is pricey but amazing. The duck is perfect! The cocktails are awful, purchased 3 which my boyfriend had them all as the additives such as limes and mixers were way too strong - like the cocktails weren't measured well to balance flavours. £45 on cocktails I didn't drink. So disappointed. Lovely service though and got a birthday treat 😊😊

    An incredible meal at Duck & Waffle, one of my favourite restaurants in London. We went on a grey day so the views weren’t brilliant, but it is all about the food. The trick is to order lots of plates to share, as there are just so many amazing dishes. Highlights: lobster mac & cheese (£34), duck and waffle (£24), Angus beef tartare (£15), smoked salmon with pickled fennel (£14). We all ordered the Paloma cocktail and it was so good we just kept re-ordering them! I can’t wait to go back. I wasn’t a massive fan of duck, and thought duck, egg, and waffle would be weird, but it all beautifully ties together with a mustard maple syrup, and I will definitely order it again. Everyone should experience it.

    The entrance is not very obvious, it’s the same as Sushi Samba. The view is incredible however better to go at off-peak time to get a window table. With some unknown reason, the temperature was way too warm. And difficult to get any staffs for some drirks… it took forever. We enjoyed the food pretty much, especially the starters.

  • 2/5 Jakson B. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was excellent and the server was kind. However for how expensive the meal is I would expect a little better service. I was a solo traveller expecting to treat myself to a fantastic brunch. The food was excellent but I only saw my server once in the 45 minutes I was there. The initial service was great and their recommendations were fantastic but how can my food be delivered, eaten and finished before anyone asks me how it is? My water glass remained empty the entire meal. I had to ask another server for a cocktail menu as I was hoping to get another beverage. After 15 minutes more of waiting I decided to leave since no one came to take my drink order. Was really disappointed. Ended up going to sushi samba below since I was still hungry and thirsty, service there was far superior. Hugely disappointed as I extended my trip in London to eat at the best brunch spot in London. Would give it another chance and wouldn’t tell anyone not to go. Just felt underwhelmed and let down, I imagine had I been in a larger party the service would have been exceptional since those tables seemed to have priority.

    Fabulous from top to bottom! Valentines at duck and waffle was exceptional. Such a lovely setting. The staff there are so attentive and really easy going. Everything is done with a smile. It is like a military operation and is all done to such a high standard. Annoyingly they did forget our chocolate truffles (which I was really looking forward too) but ended up forgetting about it in the bar when finding another stunning view to gawp at. I highly recommend this place and definitely go for the duck and waffle when you do...very tasty! I think breakfast would be the real deal though... don't think about coming here, just do it. Do it now! Andrea's the waiter really knows his stuff, ask for him, he will guide you down the right paths for sure! I did at one point literally get locked into the mens toilet which was annoying. Cut my finger lifting the door off the hinges. Even after my little bathroom extravaganza I still want to give them 5 stars. Jersey rock oysters 11/10 - duck and waffle - 10/10 - cocktails 10/10.

    My favorite place to eat in London! We go everytime we are in London, which is not nearly often enough. The views are obviously great, but we really enjoy the atmosphere, the friendliness of the staff, the great service and the wonderful food! The team applies so many lovely details, it always makes us feel so special. It is the perfect brunch place with a mix of elegance and casual comfort in a beautiful setting! Cannot recommend enough! :D

    It was one of the place that people should go when they visit London. The elevator is fast. The restaurant opens 24 hrs. You can book it online with 20 £ deposit per person. The staffs are friendly but seemed under stress. I ordered the famous menu the duck and waffle. The taste was so good, very soft and crispy. Unluckily I didn’t get the sauce and I was too excited with the view so I forgot to ask the waiter if they have missed something on my dish. Then I recognized it later when I was at the hotel 🤣🥲 Nevertheless all was fine. The view is amazing and how they managed and try to full filled the guests wishes are top.

    A surprisingly good restaurant, with astonishing view of London. Their signature dish Duck and Waffle is indeed a must try, the yolk of the duck egg tastes good with velvety texture, duck skin is very crispy and serves well with syrup. Roasted lamb was juicy and tender, perfectly cooked. Finally a good British cuisine. Truffle and cheese fries is nice. Operates 24x7, would also be nice to have drinks in the bar for the night view.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Duck&Waffle, and I must say it was an exceptional experience🤩 The food was delicious, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from🔥 However, what truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by Laura, a true professional and a genuinely nice person. Her expertise and warm demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening✨✨✨ Waffle and Ducks is a must-visit restaurant, offering great food and outstanding service, with Laura being a true highlight of the dining experience🤩✨ Highly recommend!

    Beautiful restaurant with astonishing views of London. It has a pleasant, soothing ambience. The seating was comfortable and the service was excellent. The breakfast was delicious, however some aspects were not to my taste and that’s ok. Overall, I had a wonderful experience (I went for my birthday breakfast). Just to note, it is quite pricey as for 2 people it did cost around £62 for two English breakfasts with two glasses of freshly squeezed juice. Personally, I believe you are paying more for the ambience and experience.

    The food was good but service can be better. Our table was 45 min late ( they sent champagne while we were waiting). Duck and waffle was okay but nothing extraordinary. I miss the fried chicken and waffle place in San Francisco and duck and waffle here just miss the heavenly combination of crispy and softness. Other dishes were not bad but again nothing wow. View is nice and great for pictures. Desert was better, our cake white chocolate and caramel was good! Overall I may go again if I reminisce my crispy chicken and waffle in San Fran.

    this place is more for the ambience rather than the food. The signature dish “duck and waffle” could be better, with fluffier waffle and a juicier duck. The dish was quite bland and relies heavily on the mustard syrup which makes the whole dish more sweet than savory. The crispy pig ears came in a paper bag (weird) and were fun to eat but not for those with sensitive teeth/ gum, as some pieces are hard to bite into. Flavorful though. The corn ribs were tasty but difficult to eat - almost as if you have to hold them with your hands. not something you want to do in such a restaurant setting.

    One of the classics of the area and London in general, Duck & Waffle doesn't only offer good food but also a wonderful environment with arguably the best view of London you can have. As expected from the restaurant's standards, staff and service were very quick, friendly, and professional. For our dinner, we ordered the house classic duck and waffle dish, which obviously did not disappoint, as the sweet waffle and maple syrup, alongside savory and perfectly cooked duck had a fantastic balance, complementing each other in a wonderful harmony of flavors. We also ordered the tartar with some truffle and parmigian chips, which I must admit is some of the best tartar I have ever tried. The cocktails offered were also very refreshing and as long as you know what you like, I am sure you won't be disappointed. Overall a fantastic night with a wonderful view of London, I must suggest to everyone visiting the city to try and make a booking at least once and enjoy the experience yourself.

    Service was great and views were lovely. Food was fine, not fantastic but good, and on the pricey side for the quality. The lobster roll was very small and had very little lobster. Give the crispy pigs ears a miss. You pay a premium for the view and the venue.

    The food tastes good….But I think the price is a little high if compared to the serving style. The food plating looks reasonable. It depends on many factors, the taste, the cutting of the dish, the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the location where there are many people and the tables are arranged too close together….But overall the food is delicious.

    Came here for brunch, the views were amazing even though I was seated in the middle of the restaurant. The Duck was really tasty and I got some extra bacon on the side and it came with a good number of rashers. Birthday plate/cup cake was adorable. Service was good we had a lovely woman whose name I didn't catch as well as Dhanesh.

    We came to this restaurant completely randomly and were completely overwhelmed by this awesome atmosphere. Our waitress Luana was awesome and took really good care for us. The food was really delicious. Holiday.... We definitely did it right. If you visit London this is a hot tip to go. Price was absolutely fine for the quality and even if it was quite busy we didn't have to wait for long. And the view... Definitely worth overcoming my fear of elevators.... 100 % recommended.

    The duck and waffle dish was divine as always. Definitely should make a reservation, we didn’t and was put on a table with horrible view so the experience would have been much more pleasant if we were in the main part of the restaurant with the great view of London. I felt like the D&W in Edinburgh gave a slightly more luxurious vibe, staff were much friendlier and the food somehow felt higher quality than in London.

    You probably already know this a great place to visit so I will try not to cover old ground and focus on the meal that I'm sure has not had much airtime - the lemon 🍋 meringue waffle. This is a sweet one for sure so not wanting to start my day with dessert 🍰, I opted to have some lovely hash browns and sausage to start me off. They were melt in your mouth delicious 😋 then I moved onto the meringue and surprise surprise, it was great. It came with some lemon sorbet which didn't melt until you start to eat it. The taste was well balanced with the waffle. If you're a sweet tooth, don't hesitate to get it! Overall, the staff were great and service was prompt. Excellent views too!

    Went here on my birthday for lunch, food was okay, personally I didn’t like duck and waffle with maple syrup I find it very sickly, duck was nice on it own though. Lamb was good but could use a bit of salt, best dish was octopus 10/10. The view was okay it also depends on where they place you really. The service was quick and very friendly staff.

    The food and service tells everything about a restaurant, in addition, you can enjoy one of the best bird views of the Thames! We ordered Duck leg and Waffles, no disappointment. The pig ears was a full surprise, the good one. Tips: book in advance and ask for a window table. 😀

    Great experience.. must go place.. What is good about this restaurant... 1. Unique luxury restaurant (40th floor setup is really amazing) 2. Great location 3. Amazing food ... We had breakfast here ... 4. Great people ... During conversation , they heard we were celebrating our special day, they added a complimentary cupcakes to add cherry on the top of their behavior.. 5. Spectacular view.. 6. I loved the way they welcome us... Please consider few facts while booking 1. Advance booking is mandatory 2. They ask minimum booking amount 20£ each person , which is also minimum spend ( that gets adjusted with final bill) 3. Not a quiet place ... What I was expecting (this is completely my opinion). Great rush, though staff members are super efficient to make your visit the best... Will go again...

    As an experience it's a fantastic view and a great place to be to have a few drinks and a catch up with friends. If I'm honest the service could have been quicker and the food wasn't quite what I would have liked for the price point. Small portions, cold cod, and the lamb was lacking too. Overall it was good but it could have been better.

    Lovely experience. Had put in a request for a window seat, and while we had a short wait, we were given the best seat in the house with incredible views. The food really was delicious and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We'd specified that this was to celebrate a birthday, and we're surprised with a cake. I'd definitely recommend a visit, just be sure to book ahead.

    As the restaurant name suggests, they are known for their “Duck & Waffle” dish and although I don’t eat duck I heard from my colleagues who all ordered the dish that it was good! The views from this restaurant were simply spectacular and we had good seats (although wish we had seats by the windows). The fish I ordered was bland and majority of the appetizers were not available because their fryer was broken. Service was very good and as expected the prices were on the upscale side as was to be expected from a restaurant of this ilk. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being best… Food - 7 Service - 9 Location - 9 Atmosphere - 9 Value - 8

    The food was really good. The signature is the cheapest in the main menu but really worth it. Small portion but filling. The place is gorgeous, stunning view and vibe. The rest of the food is a bit too pricey. Overall great experience, you should try it! Ps. It’s not in the menu but you can ask for a gluten free waffle.

  • 5/5 Gerald C. 4 months ago on Google
    Tempered my expectations as I had read mixed reviews about the place. But to my surprise, I had the most wonderful lunch here! The view was fantastic, the service was impeccable, and most importantly, the food did not disappoint. Extra bonus points for getting their Christmas decorations up, which added that little bit of extra festive feels Their eponymous Duck and Waffle certainly tasted great. Their Halibut was fresh and tender, and the sauce was a great compliment too. Don’t miss the Weat Coast Chowder if you have soup cravings. The other dishes also were great, so do try if you’re feeling adventurous Overall, a nice place to visit if you want something fancy during your visit to London

    Went there on Saturday for a birthday meal with my girlfriends and we had a great time. Food, drinks and service were great. Our waitress Laura was an absolute star!! Lovely, smiley, was able to recommend drinks according to our needs and was even kind enough to take a few pictures of us. Thanks to her we had a great service experience.

    A delicious food experience, not only the flavors of the food but also the presentation, aroma, and overall dining atmosphere. The food was a work of art. The presentation is impeccable, with vibrant colors and artistic arrangements that make it almost too beautiful to eat. A burst of flavors explodes in your mouth. The combination of ingredients is perfectly balanced, with each bite offering a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. Highly recommended 👌. Keep it up 👍

    It was a great experiences to have dinner at this restaurant especially “Non-dairy Waffle” with duck !!! I ordered for two waffles but still prefer NON-DAIRY ! It’s a little bit crispy and good smell. I also fallen in love with CORN RIBS, HOUSE BREAD AND OCTOPUS WITH POTATO ! Super delicious for my dinner ! 🫰🏻❤️

    Great food and service with stunning views to the city from the 40th floor. Obviously their signature dish, duck and waffle is a must try. Small platters are delicious and mouthwatering too. I had the lobster roll, grilled octopus and corn ribs this time and wasn't disappointed. Service is good the staff is very attentive and helpful.

    Seasonal dishes in a breathtaking high rise location. A highlight was the pork cheek donut. Good classic wine options and a nice annexed bar as well fost post-dinner drinks. Seasonality a bit to be questioned though - “steamed spring vegetables” do not sound so seasonal served in September.

  • 5/5 Jessica V. 9 months ago on Google
    Another amazing visit at Duck and waffle London. After a long day at Wimbledon it was great to have a lovely midnight meal with some gorgeous views! Service was impeccable as usual & food was lovely. I tried the duck shawarma this time I do have to say I prefer the original duck and waffle I’m afraid - it just didn’t hit the spot. That being said I’d return in a heartbeat to one of my fave spots in London.

    Well what can I say? We tried the famous duck & waffle dish and it is exactly what it says - fried crispy duck leg with waffle and syrup, topped with a fried egg. Sounds interesting..but oh so bland. And if you have £100 spare for lunch, then why not?

    Amazing service. We asked for gluten free dishes and they had it, they were lovely! Went for my best friend's birthday and everything was spot on. Staff were all friendly and smiling, quick service. The view was nice! Definitely recommend, will be lovely to come again but during the evening next time to see the city lights. Thank you Duck & Waffle so much ☺

    The view from this place is amazing, atmosphere is nice and staff are friendly but unfortunately the food was less than average, fir the prices I expected much better food. We ordered hash brown which tasted like egg with potatoes, caramelised banana waffle which one okay nothing special and the duck Benedict which has a very weird smell and I found it hard to eat it. It was worth the visit for the view and atmosphere but probably won’t go there again because of the food.

    Gorgeous restaurant ambience with stunning views. The brunch menu is quite good with ample vegetarian options. Courteous staff with lovely service. Highly recommend!

    Our experience here was far from what we expected. We ordered some started, a couple mains, and a side. The starters were a decent start with the pork crackling going above our expectations, but it quickly went downhill. The octopus we ordered was lukewarm. The lamb chops and steak were both really cold, so we sent it back they warmed it up but it was still not warm. The Parmesan fries were decent and those were warm. I will not be going aback and would not recommend it.

    Food, drinks and experience are fantastic. I had the Duck and Waffle with some truffle and Parmesan fries, while my girlfriend had the Duck Egg en Cocotte - which was the highlight of the meal. Customer Service was good as well (window seat and birthday treat) but they may need to get more staff as managers were having to top up waters and waiters seemed a bit rushed.

    - 3* stars for the food/service, 5* for the views - We went for Brunch at Duck & Waffle on a Sunday morning. If you enjoy views in a relaxed atmosphere, this place is great (unless you get the 2-seat table directly next to the kitchen with 0 views). However, the service was unfriendly/cold and the dishes were merely okay. The poached egg on the egg royale was completely cooked through and the mashed avocado was tasteless/industrial. The waffle was a bit dry.

    Honestly, great service and impeccable food. We got the English Breakfast and when you think about it, the price for the view, amount of food and quality service was extremely fair. The view is simply stunning, we were in awe. Even though it was cloudy, we had an enjoyable time. And the food was delicious. I’d 100% recommend.

    Absolute recommendation. Great location. First you go to the 40th floor with an incredible view. After that you have the opportunity to sit in a beautiful bar, drink cafe or cocktails and enjoy the view. We were served wonderfully and thanks to a bit of waiting, still got a seat in the restaurant despite not having a reservation. There, too, we were served extremely courteous. Of course, we tried the namesake dish, Duck and Waffles. Sounds possibly strange, but tastes great. The duck was crispy, tender and juicy, the egg perfect and the was waffle very good too. Despite the slightly higher price due to the quality, service and great view an absolute recommendation.

    This place was amazing, for 2 people either order 1 large plate and 1 small plate or 3 small plates. Either way get the cheese souffle, it was incredible. And if you are lucky enough to get a window you'll have an awesome view of the city.

    A tourist here, got recommended this place by a local friend. Absolutely amazing place. View was great (this was one that I randomly took as I exited the elevator, saving the nicest one from my table for personal use. So the actual view from the restaurant will be 10 times better). Got the signature duck & waffle, tasted great. And a shoutout to my server of the evening Victoria, who was super friendly and helpful and even offered to take my photos <3 Book for a time earlier in the evening to maximize your chances to be seated at a table by the window.

    Heard the place many times , the “Duck &Waffel” as shown in the first photo satisfied me beyond my expectations! Really good combinations. Atmospheric restaurant with stunning views, friendly and helpful waiters/waitresses, tasteful and delicious foods! The prices are also reasonable. Reservation needed!!!

    Beautiful restaurant high in the sky with impeccable service. Very nice views of London from 40 floors up. Highly recommend the wild mushroom risotto and the grilled octopus!

    great experience! Food was absolutely amazing! loves the corn ribs and the legendary duck & waffle.

  • 5/5 Dennis A. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly a great and memorable experience. Foods are really great with excellent services from the crew. Special mention to Jose, the best crew ! Likewise, the view of london is amazing. Make sure you make your advance booking. Highly recommended. BTW, I have tried Duck and Waffle in HongKong and it is still best in London!

  • 5/5 Craig S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location to dine in. Food was excellent and views of the city were great. I ordered the signature dish of duck and waffle. The duck egg was cooked perfectly, the confit duck was lovely, the waffle was crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle and the maple mustard sauce was sweet but not too sweet. All of family enjoyed their meals as well choosing both sweet and savoury waffle options and no one left anything on their plates. Side orders of bacon, black pudding and hash Browns were all lovely. Would highly recommend Duck and Waffle as a location for a lovely brunch. In addition to the great food the views of the city are great from the elevated position the restaurant is located at. Normally when a location has views like this they rely on this to bring in customers more than they should. This is not the case for Duck and Waffle, the views merely supplement the wonderful food. Finally staff were very attentive and helpful.

    We here on a Monday at brunch time. It was a foggy day so unfortunately we couldn’t see much. However the food itself is of a very high quality and everything tastes good. Obviously the duck and waffle is their standout. But all the other dishes are excellent too. We had a bit of a wait for our table but that was fine. The staff are nice too. I think the £20pp upfront is a bit too much in my opinion! However the food quality is good

    Our experience was great from the get go. It was our anniversary and the team arranged a table with a great view for us! Everyone was professional and friendly. Our waiter was amazing - you can see he was very busy but consistently checked in with us, and always with a genuine smile!Food - we both enjoyed every part the of meal. Amazing. Will be back soon!

    Great view 40 floors up to have breakfast. We asked for a window table while coming in and they gave this to us (I think I should have asked in the comments for the future). The server, Dhanesh, was great and pleasant. Overall, it was a nice experience. Similar to what others wrote - it was really hot up there. There wasn’t AC and I was asking the servers how hot they were. They said the kitchen was a lot hotter 🥵 (as expected). Not sure about the working conditions in the summer heat but I felt bad for them. The food was good and had a decent variety for a vegetarian. I don’t think it was anything fabulous, but you go more for the views which were awesome. It might be better to go for dinner then the breakfast looking at the menus.

  • 5/5 Jess B. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow! What a fantastic place to go for a special treat! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were all so attentive and the views over London were just stunning! I’m still thinking about the sticky toffee waffle I had for dessert and waiting for any excuse to come back! Thank you Duck & Waffle for an unforgettable meal.

    Food and drinks were amazing! Recommend the Sunday roast. The staff were fantastic and couldn’t do enough for us. Beautiful views of London. Looking forward to future visits.

  • 5/5 Noel M. 11 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing. The signature duck and waffle dish was delicious. Service was great. We were greeted with smiles and welcomes the entire walk to our table. View of the London skyline was breathtaking.

  • 4/5 Noora H. 10 months ago on Google
    We chose a corner table to enjoy the view which was amazing. I order the pasta (3/5), fries (4/5) , peanut and jam waffle (5/5) and two sticky toffee waffle (2.5/5). My two friends didn’t like the food, but it was worth coming to the restaurant due to the view.

    June 2023 Remains a lovely place. From location, to ' elevator ride', to especially the entrance to the restaurant it self. One of the few places to serve duck eggs ... Menu for breakfast is great. Enough to choose from. On downfall, places to the window, they are way too hot in the sun. Perfect service though.

  • 5/5 Daniela D. 11 months ago on Google
    We loved this place!! We had such a wonderful experience visiting. The service was very professional and friendly and they really made us feel comfortable. The place had really good vibes too. The food was delicious and something different. I will definitely visit again soon!

  • 5/5 Nadia G R. 9 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous views of London with top notch service. Visited with a cousin who is on holiday from Florida. Shared the summer vegetable salad as well as the sea bass. Both were so fresh and delicious, truly an enjoyable, filling meal for two people with smaller stomachs. Would definitely visit again, with other visitors or for a special occasion.

  • 4/5 José Bruno S. 9 months ago on Google
    Shout out to the chefs and to our table host. The food and the venue were definitely the star. The service was not 5 stars just because of one simple detail... You just have one opportunity to make a first impression, and the tall blond restaurant hostess is not empathic at all. I thought it was just our table, but I could observe a couple more, and defo was not my imagination.

    I stumbled on a video of the restaurant on Instagram, Came in with my wife for her birthday. The food was amazing, everything we had was a 10/10!! Best dinner I have had by far in London. The prawns were so tasty, compliments to the chef!!!. We got a table by the end of the room with a beautiful view of the Gherkin. Finally.. Boris! Give that gentleman a raise!! He knows and does his job soooo well. He suggested many great things on the menu!, and gave us a lot of good laughs. Such a great host! We will definitely be back soon, this time for breakfast. Worth every penny!
