(2 Yabsley Street, Docklands in London, United Kingdom)

Anupana Fine Dining and Seafood Restaurant’s name conveniently describes what to expect from these s...imple, elegant surroundings rather succinctly. The uncomplicated premise under which Anupana operates is to serve modern takes on Indian seafood in a graceful manner inspired by two famous Mumbai eateries, the first being Trisha, renowned for its startling and sumptuous take on fish dishes, the second Indigo, which dazzled with its use of traditional Indian art forms in a chic, contemporary style – something you’ll find reflected in the décor of Anupana itself. Head chef Mr. Uttam Dey’s extensive knowledge informs a specially created menu in which all seafood used is sourced freshly from the Billingsgate fish market, just a stone’s throw away. Opening hours: Daily 12pm - 2:30pm and 5:30pm - 11:30pm The name 'Anupana' is derived from a Hindi word meaning ‘water dwellers’. What this has to do with seafood, we're not sure… oh. [moreless]

(28 West Ferry Circus, Canary Wharf in London, United Kingdom)

With an unmatched location next to the Thames offering sweeping riverside views, this latest Jamies ...branch is a great place to stop in Canary Wharf. Once again the excellent formula of vast, well-served bar, first-rate fusion cuisine, and blistering wine list has proven a winner. In fact, the wine list is one of the most interesting you'll find, with a few lovingly chosen bottles from each of the major - and minor - wine-producing countries and regions. Most cost less than £20. But Jamie's also features a fine modern global brasserie menu, featuring ingredients from small, local - often organic - producers. The ambience is relaxed and the service top-notch. You could go for the full monty, with starter of shrimp, lemongrass and chilli soup followed by spiced lamb with onion couscous, or opt for one of their great club sandwiches, or just share a huge plate of starters. Great children's menu, too. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 11am - 11pm [moreless]

Inside, the restaurant is a vast, bustling enterprise, with a see-and-be-seen wall of glass that takes in London's mad activity outside.

La Rueda now serves the new modern Spanish cuisine like starter of Brandada de Sardinas or Huevos a la Flamenca and main courses like Fideua or Fillet Steak Navarra but not forgetting the favourite tapas like grilled sardines, chorizo in wine, jamon Serrano and main course of paella.

(10 Cabot Square, Canary Wharf in London, United Kingdom)

Landmark restaurant Sri Nam continues to create vote-winning dishes of true Thai pleasure. Rated by ...readers of the Wharf Magazine as Best Restaurant in 2001, this fine establishment's reputation has now spread beyond the Docklands alone. The word is well and trully out about their superb informal Café-bar on the ground floor, and the opulent Thai dining room on the upper floor. But the food is what the fuss is all about. The traditional Chinese and Pan-Asian cuisine menu offers exciting dishes combining some old favourites with some new directions. You need only take one nibble of their crispy Szechuan aromatic duck, or their Thai red beef curry, to understand what we mean. [moreless]
