  “Came for a spontaneous solo dinner as it was quite close by and had heard it recently opened and had wanted to go and try out the food. I sat outside as the weather was lovely and had the view of the canal. The food was good, would say skip the pork as the sauce was a little too sweet for my liking, but would definitely recommend the mussels and sourdough bread with the butter😍(always a good sign if the bread is good). Only reason why this wasn’t 5 stars was the amount of time it took to get one of the dishes I ordered , I appreciated the honesty of the waiter who apologised about forgetting to put my order through as i could tell it was quite busy.”

  “Good vibes. Good service and food variety was good and taste wise not bad. Cosy place around the canal. Wouldn’t revisit just for this since its far, and not too convenient to come for me, but perhaps if I was in the area and looking for something to dine.”

  “Overall a nice lunch. Been wanting to come for a while. The service felt lacking – not sure if it was just Sunday vibe but was quite uninterested and low energy. Didn’t explain anything on the menu, no recommendations, didn’t get us excited. My husband asked for extra chilli in the crab pasta but seemed to be ignored and was disappointed. The risotto was nice but needed seasoning, and was a bit watery. I would definitely come again but first visit wasn’t 10/10 which I thought it would be for sure. Obviously a lovely spot by the canal and sitting outdoors would be really nice. There just wasn’t enough shade on a hot day although sitting inside was fine for us.”

  “Perfect experience. Food was not only insanely well presented but it was so fresh, so delicious. The outdoor seating on the canal is lovely also”

  “We had dinner there and the food was amazing. The wine list too, great location in an area that is not too crowded. The restaurant is spacious and simple and the staff were very friendly and professional. A great experience and definitely recommended.”

  “For over a year I kept walking past Canal Restaurant, but I couldn't work out what it was called from across the canal thanks to the fancy font (Ironic... I know!) It looked inviting though, so I eventually went in. The food more than lived up to the first impression. The chicken schnitzel and fries were absolutely top-notch. Worth the wait!”

  “Close to perfect. Service great, food delivery time great, light spacious, the pepper with the cheese burger was very smart, the burger held perfectly so no mess, great service by Sofian, seating nice and higher end for a casual place, pricing solid, coffee was a latte - again really good - really a gem.”

  “Lovely place to go and eat. The food was really really good. Came out fast and the servers were lovely. Really laid back vibes and great ambience in there with the canal flowing literally right next to it. Ordered the juicy and really meaty cod cheeks with tartare sauce, the juiciest and softest burger along with the chicken schnitzel and wild garlic and fennel dish + chips to share between me and my friend and we were stuffed by the end of it. Every dish was so good and truly scrumptious. Came out piping hot from the kitchen. They also had an independent Kola they had as opposed to the main stream on and it was really good tbh Deffo recommend!”

  “Had a great experience here. Food was delicious. We started with some delicious sourdough with butter. Then we had the crudo that was very refreshing. We also had the malfatti, wasn’t the best dish we ate but it was good too, if you are a fan of spinach this one is for you. The highlight of our dinner was the rolled lamb belly. It was delicious! The sauce amazing and eating it with the potatoes was the best. We finished with the chocolate mousse with olive oil and salt and the apple and pear sorbet. Everything amazing and service was very friendly and on top. They topped our water and wine and ask how was everything several times. Thank you for everything, we had a wonderful dinner”

  “This was easily one of the most beautiful and delicious meals I have had in London. The staff was so lovely and the atmosphere was a 10/10. Highly recommend – this is a perfect summer spot for lunch with friends!”
