encoded: Looking for Canary Wharf restaurants? These are the spots worth knowing, from irresistible Taiwanese dumpling at Din Tai Fung to modern Anglo-Indian delights at Kricket. For more restaurant guides, check out our picks of the best restaurants in Soho, best restaurants near Oxford Street and best restaurants in Covent Garden. Best places to eat and drink in Canary Wharf Nora, West Lane Opened by brothers Ozgur and Sidar Akyuz, Nora is bringing Turkish dining to Canary Wharf. Drawing inspiration from the streets and kitchens of Istanbul, the restaurant serves up a menu of small and large plates all designed for sharing in a communal dining experience. If you’re new to Turkish cuisine and looking for a leisurely start to your weekend, I’d highly recommend booking a spot for the weekend Serpme feasting breakfast, served between 11am-3pm. Inspired by Turkish serpme kahvalti, a traditional breakfast spread, the set menu is a showcase of the region’s cultural diversity with a breadth of dishes to try. Our favourites included aubergine and pepper kizartma, fried cauliflower, hummus with pulled lamb, and the tahini with pekmez which I couldn’t get enough of dipped with the warm breads. For an extra £10 each you can add on a choice of two skewers – coffee rub chicken shish, beef fillet lokum shish, adana (lamb), bream fillet and prawns. To finish, kunefe is served to share – a traditional dessert made with kadayif layered with cheese and soaked in a sugar-based syrup. Don’t worry if you have leftovers, the team will happily box this up for you to finish later. The breakfast is also served with unlimited Turkish tea. The cocktail menu offers Turkish twists on some classics, like a black tea martini and a baklava old fashioned. nora.london CRATE Brewery, Wood Wharf Known for its experimental and expansive array of craft beers, as well as thin and crispy stone-baked pizzas, Crate is bringing its signature cool to Canary Wharf with its second site opening.

Now discover the best restaurants in the Lake District and the Cotswolds. The best walks in the UK Miles without Stiles, Lake District Miles without Stiles actually consists of over 50 different walking routes across the Lake District, all intended to be as accessible as possible. As the name suggests, none of the routes have stiles to climb over, and there are no steep hills either, making it much easier for people with limited mobility to explore this spectacular part of the UK. The Lake District is awash with top pubs, restaurants and rooms. If you’re in the Windermere area you could opt for The Samling Hotel, a 12-bedroom Georgian house with fine-dining restaurant. Read our full review. 51 routes, ranging in length, Miles without Stiles Kinder Scout Mass Trespass Walk, Peak District The history of this trail can be traced back to 1932 when around 500 walkers, mainly from Manchester, trespassed en masse, walking from Hayfield to Kinder Scout in a bid to secure access rights for everyone to enjoy. A circular route starting and ending in Hayfield, this can be a challenging walk, so if you’re feeling famished afterwards, we recommend The Pack Horse pub as a great place to refuel on gastropub favourites like lamb rump or chicken and wild garlic kiev. Or, head there beforehand and try out their bar snacks menu, for dishes such as whitebait with gochujang mayo and pork and fennel salami bites.

Plus, see our top places to eat and stay on the island to complete your Caribbean adventure. Want to find out more about other global cuisines? Check out our guides to Fez, Istria, Cork and many more in our travel hub. The cuisine of Grenada: 10 things we love The Spice Isle Grenada is famous for its homegrown spices, so much so that it is known as the Spice Isle. Nutmeg and mace are the two biggest that they produce, but also expect to find cinnamon, bay leaf, and turmeric amongst others. Walking through Grenada’s street markets you’ll find plenty of stalls selling packets of fresh spices that are used daily in Grenadian cooking. You also find sweet products like nutmeg jelly and jam. Rum punch Like other Caribbean islands Grenada is a big producer of rum that is often used to make delicious rum cocktails and punches. To make the perfect punch you should remember the phrase “one part sour (lime juice), two parts sweet (grenadine or sugar syrup), three parts strong (rum) and four parts weak (a mix of fruit juices)”. Oil down Grenada’s national dish finds its roots in slavery, a one-pot meal usually combining pigs’ tails, chicken, fish, and vegetables local to Grenada like callaloo and breadfruit. This stew-like dish was made using up ingredients that plantation slaves could easily get their hands. You can make this dish vegan by simply omitting the meat and fish and adding more of the plentiful spices and fresh vegetable produce Grenada has to offer. Cocoa Grenada takes pride in its cocoa production, with six chocolate producers on the island. A popular way to take this is as cocoa tea by adding a cocoa ball which is made of ground raw cocoa nibs mixed with bay leaf, nutmeg and cinnamon to milk and sweetened to your taste. In powder form the cocoa is also perfect for cakes and brownies. Spicemas Spicemas…
