Way back in 1999 when I wrote the first Rough Guide to London

Restaurants, the Docklands section was pretty threadbare. There

was the MPW Brasserie in Cabot Place and a floating Chinese

restaurant in Limeharbour, but that was about it. Fast forward a

dozen years and Canary Wharf has become a great place to eat.

As the Wharf has matured so has the restaurant choice on offer –

honest British food at Canteen; modern Japanese food at ROKA;

peri peri chicken at Nando’s; classic dim sum at Royal China; pasta

from Jamie’s Italian and Carluccio’s; burgers from GBK and Byron;

noodles from Wagamama; sushi from Itsu. And now we have the new

and enormous Boisdale of Canary Wharf. If you had told me in 1999

that a huge jazz bar and restaurant with a Scottish theme and serving

haggis would be opening in E14, I would have questioned your sanity.

The days when a convoy of taxis would turn up at noon to ferry

people out of Canary Wharf and off to lunch in the West End are long

gone, and today there is good food to be had at all price levels and

within strolling distance. What is more, the Wharf’s restaurants and

bars are busy and buzzy in the evenings and at the weekend. Times

change, and in this instance they have changed for the better.

“I like getting my own menu and always have the La Reine pizza with ham and mushrooms.

My favourite thing is the Bambinoccino because I get

something when Mum is drinking her coffee. When

I’m bigger, I’m going to have the Sloppy Giuseppe,

because that’s what my big brother has.”

louis, aged 7

“It’s good that the menu has smaller dishes for people my age,

as I don’t think I would be able to eat the portions that mum and

dad get. I also liked the really crisp fries that came with my

burger – they were so good that mum kept stealing them!”

BAR FLy: chardonnay playeasily pronounced and therefore easily ordered,

Chardonnay is the brawn behind long-lived, white truffle

and brioche scented Blanc des Blancs Champagne in

France’s heart. But Burgundy is its home. here, in

France’s stomach it stars as nervy Chablis in the north,

then the lavish, financially overwrought Montrachet

family in the centre. Descend further and you encounter

quaffable satay-scented Mâcon.

Chardonnay’s aromas span pouting guava and ripe banana

to thick, churned butter and crisp green apple. winemakers and

winegrowers adore it’s easy, relatively neutral nature, admiring its

acceptance of vanilla, sawdust and toast scented oak. But heavy

handedness with the timber renders this equitable grape as

anonymous as globalisation. indeed, challenged by the heftiness

of ragingly alcoholic, overly extracted, awesomely oak bevelled

new world examples, consumers of the 1990’s defiantly sought

a solution — ‘Anything But Chardonnay’ (ABC). Their grape

expectations led them instead to slimmer siblings, ‘groovy’

grüner Veltliners, racy rieslings and sappy sauvignon Blancs.

But i have a confession. regardless of fluid fashion, i crave

Chardonnay when it is the vinous equivalent of a V8 pickup.

Brash, with so much wood character that it deepens in colour and

practically imparts splinters, nothing butters me up more than a

dirty weekend of a napa Valley Chardonnay. with it, i could rinse

down a last meal of whole, butter glossed lobster, plump Dutch

veal chop and heaped hog roast.

For those seeking lighter wines, elegant Chablis offers a cool

breath of minerals. For the best renditions, vines are sewn on

gentle slopes of fingernail sized fossilised oysters. This ultimate

high class wine for crustacea from crustacea echoes the sharp,

saline freshness of a glistening platter of fruits de mer...
