duck & waffle

this restaurant/bar is on the 40th floor and as i am someone who is scared of heights, needless to say this was a tad scary for me, however the lift up is super fast, and the ambience in the bar/restaurant is very relaxing. the view was well worth the fear so please don't be deterred if you are scared of heights. the wholeplacewas very luxurious and the drinks were exceptional. they smelt and tasted very nice. we ended up getting 'bar food' which is hard to call it bar food as it is immaculately presented. all in all, great experience!

when my alarm started sounding at 06:30am on a day off, i did doubt the table i'd booked a few weeks before. yes, i had to book weeks in advance and yes, the only booking i could get was 08:15am. but, eating breakfast 230m in the clouds at duck & waffle sure is an experience. check out my mini review on urban spoon here . i spent friday night in brighton meeting some other food bloggers and we enjoyed some great tapas in solera . it was the perfectplaceto go for a larger group, the sangria was great and i'm still surprised at how reasonable the bill was.  crumbs and doilies has proved to me that cupcakes were definitely not a phase and i still love them. not only have i enjoyed scrolling through their instagram snaps , jemma the owner's how-to's on youtube , they also have the cutest packaging i've seen in a long time.  speaking of youtube, i worked on a little recipe for onken as part of their #onkentips campaign. using yogurt in baking is a great alternative to fat and it ensures your bakes are light, moist and creamy. in this video you'll see me and some fellow bloggers give a quick run through our #onkentips. if you fancy giving the lemon and blueberry loaf cake a go, the recipe can be found on their facebook page . and now, after all this cupcake and waffle eating, i'm off to prepare some 'healthy' work meals for the week ahead!

a view to die for, thisplaceis just perfect. one of my favourite places in london. go for drinks with friends, early morning breakfast or a lunch date, thisplaceis suitable for all occasion.
specially love the super quick lift. going up is a thrilling experience.

at the very top of the heron tower in the city of london is a restaurant called duck & waffle. it opened in the summer of last year but for some strange reason it's taken me this long to visit! it was time... it's open 24/7 too so if you fancy ox cheek at 3am, this could be theplacefor you! i recycled the blue river island slingbacks from my eurovision outfit and teamed it with my asos blazer and the beloved mulberry. the city awaited! pose! the ride up in the lift at duck & waffle probably isn't for the acrophobic! keep your back turned on outside if you tend to get a bit giddy with heights! once you're up, you find yourself in a bright and stylish bar area with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, graffiti adorning the walls and an open bar. with that incredible bejeweled view, what a perfectplacefor a pre-dinner cocktail. in the restaurant, we were given a seat next to the window right next to the gherkin. here is that view. the menu is rather intriguing. our waitress recommend

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 aplaceto take anyone to impress - it's mostly a young crowd and very instagramable.

very uniqueplacethat offers an exquisite delight of filling and nicely presented platters at the most reasonable prices, optimal hygienic conditions and punctual and prompt service.

in love with thisplace. the ambience, the view and the atmosphere are wonderful , the food is always freshly made and served at reasonable prices and prompt service as well.

amazingplacein london. i love the food. can’t wait to come back here again. congratulations to the staff.

wanted to get a lunch time reservation here and even though it is a 24 hour restaurant that time slot proved popular and could only book in for a late dinner or early breakfast. checked with friends and an early morning wake up call did not prove too popular so booked for the late dinner. located on the 40th floor it affords amazing views. unfortunately this evening it was quite cold outside and the condensation fogged up a lot of the views so probably best enjoyed during the day if you want to visit for the views.

once we got up there (the ride in the clear glassed lift is amazing) it was good we had a reservation as it was pumping at the bar and also a long wait for a table. we were greeted quickly and taken to our table. service was nice.

we had a variety of snacks, small plates, for the table (mains), and sides. the highlights were their signature of duck & waffle with a confit duck leg on top of a waffle with a fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup. the duck was wonderfully cooked and pairs well with the waffle. the runny egg yolk and syrup adds to the deliciousness. the baked heritage potatoes were amazing. the fresh truffle and caramelised onions complemented the potatoes so well i could’ve been happy just eating this. the maple glazed cornbread with harissa yoghurt was also really good. it was definitely filling as quite heavy but very tasty.

you’ll love thisplaceno matter the time of day. the late night menu looked pretty good too!

the fanciestplacei have ever been to in my life. surely tooo expensive because it is the finest of the fine dines i have been to but oh! the vibe you get once you are there. from the staff, to the ambience to the food and my favourite, the washrooms, everything is impeccable. located in the heart of london, i cannot reccomend it more for a fan of fine dine. and do not forget to visit the washrooms!

an absolute masterpiece. the staff are so well trained, from the front of house to the waiters, even the bartenders - i literally can't remember the last time i came across such professionalism. you walk in, zip through a glass elevator to find yourself 40 floors above ground treated to the most breathtaking views of london city. everything about the experience screams first class, the service, the decor, the ambient tunes, mood lighting and of course, the food! the crispy leg confit, duck egg & waffle served with mustard maple syrup is to die for! such simple components for a dish that’s executed astonishingly well. thisplaceis a must visit if you’re in london. top shelf!
