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. Think industrial chic created with upcycled materials and handcrafted furniture situated by the water’s edge with laid-back vibes. Crate is perfect for anyone who wants the traditional pizza and beer experience but elevated: eclectic pizzas with a global influence ranging from Middle Eastern lamb to Malaysian chicken laksa. My personal recommendation? The sweet potato, stilton and walnut pizza – tangy, sweet, with a little bit of crunch, a perfect hearty, comfort food go-to. Furthermore, sustainability is always at the forefront with all dough bases being mixed using Wildfarmed renegerative flour. However, Crate’s crowning glory has to be its extensive range of craft beers, perfect for both aficionados and laymen alike. Once again, sustainability is key, the brewery’s own core range is brewed in partnership with Purity Brewing on a farm with one of the world’s most sustainable brewing kits. Punters can also expect new world Hazy Pales, a rotating line of guest beers, a range of limited-edition seasonal sours (triple fruited mango sour was a firm favourite for me), as well as its new gin, lemon and koji, and vodka, raspberry and yuzu soda cocktails. cratebrewery.com Mallow, Park Drive From the same team behind Mildreds, Mallow Canary Wharf offers a fully plant-based menu. Seasonal and sustainable ingredients are the threads that brings the menu together, which draws from a diversity of influences across the globe. Think earthy mushroom ravioli topped with fried basil, a coconutty Kashmiri gobi and fluffy basmati rice or fattoush salad packed with juicy tomatoes paired with a creamy garlic labneh. To finish, indulgent desserts include passion fruit tart topped with the bitter crunch of sesame tuile. The extensive drinks menu includes cocktails made with Mallow’s own gin, such as the dry apricot negroni, as well as beers made in collaboration with UnBarred Brewery and Harbour Brewing Co. You won’t miss the booze with a non-alcoholic and utterly delightful lychee jasmine martini. mallowlondon.com Note that Mallow is currently operating as a takeover by Mildreds on the Wharf, including a bold pre-theatre menu for those visiting the Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre. Roe, Park Drive From the team behind Fallow comes another restaurant with sustainability at the core. Set on the Canary Wharf waterfront in the beating heart of the financial world, Roe is buzzing despite its large size spread over multiple levels. Start proceedings with the mushroom parfait – a mixture of smoked shiitake and oyster mushrooms on lightly griddled toast. It’s well balanced with a creamy nuttiness and delicate sweetness. If you choose to continue with the fungi theme, the deep-fried hen of the woods burger in a Roe-branded brioche bun is a crowd-pleasing option, while juicy skewers include spiced lamb shoulder with a smoked onion yogurt and honey to enjoy with pillowy flatbreads. Desserts are hard to resist for those with a sweet tooth. The zero-waste caramelised banana parfait uses the entirety of the fruit, while lemon meringue pie is transformed into a creamy soft serve with crunchy pieces of Wildfarmed shortbread. Pair your dessert with a glass from Renegade Urban Winery or pick from the extensive wine list which includes English sparkling wine. Cocktails are classic, creative and refreshing. roerestaurant.co.uk Din Tai Fung, Crossrail Place Taiwanese dumpling phenomenon Din Tai Fung has more than 170 restaurants in 14 different countries. Its fourth UK location has set up shop in Canary Wharf’s Crossrail Place – making it the perfect place for hungry commuters. The 112-seater restaurant is attentively staffed, with servers briskly delivering bamboo baskets of handmade steamed dumplings to tables. Din Tai Fung’s calling card is xiao long bao, steamed soup dumplings where a delicate dough encases a meaty filling and a pocketful of hot, savoury broth. We ordered the classic made with minced pork – satisfyingly slurpy – alongside succulent, bouncy prawn and pork shao mai. The surprise hit of our visit, however, were the delicately made prawn and pork wontons bathed in a poky chilli sauce. dintaifung-uk.com Brother Marcus, Reuters Plaza In the heart of Canary Wharf, Brother Marcus has unveiled its biggest opening yet – a vibrant all-day restaurant with a sun-soaked south-facing terrace seating up to 80. Exclusive to this location is the souvla and skewers menu, where dishes are flame-grilled over an open fire. Highlights include Greek smoked feta sausage with Louvi beans, grated plum tomatoes and herb salad, or lamb saddle souvla served with skordalia, spinach, ouzo and anchovy jus. Brunch is a must, with classics like eggs benedict alongside bolder plates such as kefir-fried chicken with crispy potato rösti and perfectly poached eggs. For a sweet-savoury hit the halloumi with watermelon and mint is a refreshing side worth ordering. Pair it all with the brunch cocktails deal – two for £20 – and sip on a balanced honey and grapefruit bellini while soaking up the Docklands buzz. brothermarcus.co.uk Kricket, Frobisher Passage The hot seats at Kricket are along the vivid red counter which stretches the length of the modern Anglo-Indian restaurant group newbie. Bhel puri, that colourful Mumbai street food, is sweet, tart and crunchy; Keralan fried chicken with pickled mooli is a Kricket classic; pickled cucumber is a good foil to a glossy poussin ghee roast; and grilled squash with paneer and puffed rice is served in a rich sauce to be scooped up with chilli cheese naan. Aromatic cocktails include no-booze versions like Kashmiri Adrift, a refreshing blend of lime and agave spiked with chilli salt and served over ice, while adjacent late-night Soma bar serves the harder stuff. kricket.co.uk Marceline, Water Street London’s love affair with France continues with chef Rob Aikens’ brasserie at the increasingly foodie destination of Wood Wharf. From breakfast to dinner, expect well-executed classics like warm cheese soufflé, French onion soup; rotisserie chicken with a rich, glossy jus and the standout, sweet-meets-savoury dish, sugar-pit bacon chop with charcuterie sauce. All desserts are Instagram-worthy, from a shiny crème caramel to cookie crust and banana profiteroles. Cocktails feature a classic French martini no 5 to a punchy absinthe sour. marceline.london Hawksmoor, Wood Wharf Hawksmoor Wood Wharf combines its signature British steakhouse flair with a unique waterside location. Situated on a floating pavilion, this restaurant offers stunning views of the City alongside its renowned menu of perfectly cooked steaks, fresh seafood, and hearty sides. The outdoor terrace is ideal for sipping on classic cocktails while enjoying the serene waterfront atmosphere. Hawksmoor’s dedication to quality and sustainability ensures a memorable dining experience. thehawksmoor.com/locations/wood-wharf/ Thecha, Lansbury Heritage Hotel Tucked inside Poplar’s Lansbury Heritage Hotel, Thecha delivers a knockout tour of Maharashtra with some of the boldest Indian flavours in the capital. The soft pink-grey interior whispers boutique hotel brunch but what lands on the table is straight from the streets of Mumbai. Thecha takes its name from a green chilli chutney – here paired with blisteringly grilled paneer. Sabudana vada (crisp sago and peanut fritters) and kothimbir vadi (crisp coriander and gram fritters) set the tone: regional snacks with punch. Chilli-laden Chicken 65 – so called because of the year it was created – is a must. Try it in the biryani for a complete meal, while the dabi dal fry (slow-cooked creamy lentils) soothes with buttery warmth. From the mains, Kolhapuri mutton rasa (tender chunks in curry broth) and prawn gassi (coastal coconut prawn curry) are full-throttle flavour bombs. But the star? The butter chicken chops. Cooked in the tandoor and drenched in velvety makhani sauce, it’s worth a visit for this alone. To drink, choose cooling solkadhi, made with kokum and coconut milk – refreshing with a hint of saltiness. Make sure you have room for mango shrikhand, a creamy sweet yogurt dessert that’s a perfect balance to the heat of this dining experience. instagram.com/its_thecha Check out more London restaurant guides here: Best restaurants in Chelsea Best restaurants in Marylebone Best restaurants in Kings Cross Best restaurants in Fitzrovia Best restaurants near Oxford Street Best restaurants in Brixton Best restaurants in Notting Hill Best restaurants in Battersea Best restaurants in Shoreditch Best restaurants in Camden Best restaurants in Covent Garden Best restaurants in Soho Best restaurants in London Bridge Best restaurants in Hackney Best restaurants in Paddington

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.

As a post-walk treat, head down to Hexham afterwards and visit Michelin-starred Hjem for its exquisite tasting menu. And if you're around the Newcastle area, find the best place to eat and drink, including independent cafes and indoor markets.

If this is your first time, the Llanberis Path is considered the easiest, with a total round trip distance of 9 miles, and a total climb of 975 metres. The village of Llanberis at the foot of Snowdon has some wonderful places to stay and eat, so it’s the perfect place for a long weekend of hiking and sightseeing. Places can get quite booked up in peak periods, so if you fancy staying somewhere a little further out there’s Palé Hall on the edge of Snowdonia, great for a peaceful retreat. Read our review.

Why I love Grenada, the home of world famous spices, chocolate and rum
Grenadian vegan chef Joachim Joseph shares what he loves about his home island, plus where to eat, drink and stay
Learn all about the cuisine of Grenada and what makes it so special. From the history of some of the island's most loved dishes to the soil the produce is grown in. 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 is Grenada’s annual carnival held in August. Over four days the island celebrates its heritage with Soca music, panorama, and street food. The unique Jab Jab on Monday is where masqueraders cover themselves in black oil or charcoal to represent devils, which is what slaveowners in the region used to refer to enslaved Africans as. Fruit You can find fruit growing in abundance in Grenada so expect to have fresh fruit juices wherever you go. Sorrel juice, which is similar in colour and in tartness to cranberry, and golden apple juice, which is sourer than our version of apple juice, are some different options to try when you’re there. You can also get hold of fresh coconut water, perfect for a long hot day. Landscape and soil More than just being picturesque, the importance of Grenada’s landscape has a big impact on the cuisine. Rich, volcanic soil means that the island is great for growing fresh produce and the spices that the island is known for, and there’s nothing quite like enjoying a refreshing fruit punch or rum cocktail in front on one of Grenada’s beautiful waterfalls. Tania log Tania is a root vegetable, similar to a yam, that is a staple for Grenadians. It's popular to eat it for breakfast as a porridge-like dish combined with nutmeg and cinnamon, sugar and milk (use coconut if you want a vegan version). Callaloo Similar to spinach, callaloo is a leafy green plant that is readily available and cheap, which helps explain why callaloo soup was a staple for enslaved Africans on the island and its popularity carries through to today. Usually made with a combination of pumpkin, okra and spices, it makes a fantastic vegan dish, but you could also add meat or crab should you wish. Sea moss A great natural multivitamin, sea moss is high in iodine, potassium, calcium and other vitamins. In Grenada its common to find it in in shops and at markets in gel form which you can then add to smoothies, tania log and most other dishes to provide additional nutrients without affecting the overall flavour. Where to eat in Grenada Dexter’s If you’re driving past, you could easily miss the sign on the side of the road for Dexter’s. Follow the winding pathway and you’ll reach Dexter’s own home that is also his restaurant. Once welcomed into his cosy living room it feels like you’re having dinner round a friend’s house. Dexter’s serves five courses; three set starters, a main with a choice of protein and a choice of dessert to end. facebook.com/Bestexperience7/ Aquarium Restaurant views don’t get much better than Aquarium’s.
