Harden's says

Opening August 2024 in a floating pavilion at the Wood Wharf development near Canary Wharf, a Manhattan-style French bistro from chef Robert Aikens, the identical twin of Muse’s Tom, back in London after 30 years in the US. Classic French dishes, plus a terrace and bar with a “two-sip martini” costing £6.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Daily Telegraph

William Sitwell was impressed by the “modest and reassuring” offer at this new floating bistro in Canary Wharf, whose owners are so keen to get everything right that “it feels a little clinical. In time perhaps it will soften as it gets rough around the edges.”

Most of the food from the standard repertoire was well done, but for William the real showstopper was Jeffrey – “Hand in pocket, burst buttons on his shirt and quite the most fabulous sommelier I’ve come across,” he turned the dinner into a “charming, erudite and wonderfully funny wine tasting”. 

“Normally it’s chefs who crave and deserve the light. Jeffrey is a shining star without vanity, but simply wit and know-how. Go there for him, if nothing else.”
