Duck & Waffle Local Review - Soho - London - The Infatuation

"The original Duck And Waffle is by now a legendary London restaurant among 18-year olds, and it’s one that has earned its reputation thanks to three main draws: 1: It sits at the top of the Heron Building and has spectacular views over London 2: It’s open 24 hours. 3: Its namesake is a signature dish that, shockingly, didn’t exist anywhere else in London. Duck and Waffle Local in Piccadilly is its newer, younger, more chilled out sister, and here you’ll only find #3. While the food is totally solid and the space is nice, without the view or the novelty of being able to eat at 3.a.m, there are simply fewer reasons for anyone go there. But if you find yourself caught in Piccadilly without a plan and with a group of younglings in tow - you’ll have a perfectly decent time. The industrial interior is kept light and bright by the floor to ceiling windows and in the summer, there’s a good amount of outdoor space. As for the menu, it’s a pared down version of the original, and a lot of the dishes revolve around duck. The signature Duck and Waffle dish is actually good, but like the rest of the menu, expect a sh*t ton of sugar. Duck and Waffle Local is a blatant move to cash in the tourist trade that flows past Piccadilly, and while it’s a little disappointing that it’s not open 24 hours, this place could be a lot worse. As long as the quality of the dishes are kept high, and 18-year-old German tourists still exist in the world, it’ll do just fine. Food Rundown Duck Jam Doughnut This is a giant doughnut filled with duck instead of jam. It will gently rot your teeth while gently clogging your arteries at the same time. You should probably skip it for the sake of your health. Duck & Waffle This restaurant’s namesake, and a take on the classic American chicken and waffle. Every time we’ve had it, the duck has been cooked perfectly, and paired with the sweet waffle, it’ll give you a lot of pleasure. And a lot of calories. Charred Prawn Roll You’ll find this on the small ‘not duck’ section of the menu - it’s a prawn sandwich with mayo and a Thai vinaigrette. Still a bit on the sweet side, but that’s a running theme here. Grilled Broccoli If you need a break from carbs and sugar, they do have some green things here. The Full Elvis A waffle loaded with peanut butter, strawberry jam, Chantilly cream, vanilla ice cream, peanut brittle & berries. Send help." - Eileen Twum

It's so dope having a 'local' version of this branch. The food is great and definitely up to par with what is served in the Heron Tower branch with discount prices. The Duck and Waffle (£14) is a classic and tasted great, I find the duck fat fries abit too fatty, otherwise all dishes cooked GREAT. Service was fast (which was great) and the restaurant was very pretty inside. Definitely a restaurant to bring a date or dine in with friends after work.

I highly recommend this place! Haven’t been to the other store ( not local) with a view but this place is good enough The atmosphere of the place is so nice and the staffs were hard working and very friendly If you love duck or waffles ( or both ) you should definitely come here !! The duck is super crispy and very tasty. It was really well cooked. And the waffle is amazing as well. I don’t really prefer soft waffles, but the waffles here were crispy on the outside and soft inside till I finished the whole thing !! Very well cooked I added mushrooms for the side which was a very good choice + The Japanese tea and the scotch egg were good as well :) I am definitely going to come here again Thank you for the delicious food & service !

Such an amazing place to eat! This isn't your everyday pub/bar in London. It is a wonderfully warm environment with savory menu items that, I would say, come dangerously close to American soil food. It's as close as the British get! Loved the atmosphere and the service. All around a "must see" spot to have lunch and then stroll down regent for some prime shopping. Enjoy!

It was our second visit in duck and waffle. Nice atmosphere and spacious. Menu is constantly changing but keeps up the standards. Service swift and pleasant. Bit noisy especially if you're sitting in one of the big tables and you share. Prices are OK given the location. Overall, a pleasant experience.

I visited it when it busted opened in 2017 and revisited after one year. It is in a great location and very approachable. The menu has adjusted but still feature the signature duck and waffle. The bar has not only craft beer but also cocktail from tap. Services is quick, staff are friend and could speak many European languages. Price is good considering is right in the heart of London also not as dear as the original Duck and Waffle.

Much more affordable sister of the original restaurant which I've been to a couple of times. More of a casual dining style, the menu is all duck dishes, some vegetable and salad sides and then waffle (cold cone or hot flat) sundaes for dessert. Some cocktails on tap. Food was delicious, who knew that I would enjoy duck gizzards!?! But the duck necks I was not so keen on. Rather odd set-up when it comes to ordering. You order at the counter and are then seated, everything after that (including paying) is by waiter. Had a great time and would definitely go again!!

Great service and great food but was slightly lacking in some dishes. We had the deep fried bao (buns) which was a new one for me and the change in texture is an interesting one which really added to the dish. We also had the duck wings which were not lacking in size or flavour at all. For mains we had the burger and schnitzel after being recommended that over the steak. I think that schnitzel is a hard dish to get right and this time wasn't one of them. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing and the accompaniments were the best part of that dish. The burger was a mostly standard affair as well, good but not amazing. I guess stick with their signature duck and waffle dish instead. We finished with the fudge & brownie waffles and the 'cheesecake' which tasted good but the menu does not mention that soft cheesecake means deconstructed too. The brownie waffles were the favourite here.

This restaurant has a cool theme and is in a good location. The place looks very cool. Concerning eating here, the group I was with seemed to be happy, but the food was good, maybe great, but not excellent. It depends on the menu item. The service was good, the waitresses were helpful. They seemed to do well with us being semi-clueless tourists. I recommend eating here if you're looking for something that's not ridiculously expensive but is still good. It's probably worth checking it out at least once.

So... I'm not gonna lie, I came here for the trendy factor after seeing all the pictures. I had someone visiting and wanted to do something different. The food was good, but it did not blow my mind. Maybe I shouldn't have read quite so many reviews... it raised the expectations a lot. We ordered the signature dish: Duck & Waffle for the main dish and the cornbread as an appetizer. The portions were good and the everything was very flavorful- I mean, you can't really go wrong when you put maple syrup on anything. The waiter must not have been very impressed by the fact that we didn't order drinks beyond water (for which they charged us even though it was from the tap), because he made a face and was very inattentive to the point of forgetting to bring us the requested dessert menu at the end. Lol. All in all, it was one of those things you do to check off the bucket list. The food was yum, the service could have been better. The experience wasn't terrible, but I don't think I'll be coming back. Some things to keep in mind when you come: - This place is by reservation only (including the bar area) - You cannot cancel your reservation once it is done - The deposit you paid for your reservation (£20 per person) will be credited to you bill, but if you spent less, they will not refund any of it. - The bar is very loud. If you want to be able to carry on a conversation with the people you are with, make reservations is the restaurant area. - The bar and the right side of the restaurant has the best view

My first review of 2020! I was in Europe for 2 weeks recently, and my meal at Duck & Waffle was one of the best breakfasts of my entire trip! This place definitely lived up to the hype and my friends' recommendations! My friends and I arrived in our fairly large group of 8 on a Sunday morning, and were seated after a quick wait. On to the food! While everything on the menu looked yummy, I figured I had to go for the restaurant's namesake and order the duck & waffle, lol! It was crispy and tasty! The fried egg and waffle were a great pairing with the duck! We also shared a couple orders of foie gras crème brûlée! It was a little bit gamey, as I expected, but overall, very delicious! This was my second time having foie gras on this trip, and I figured I should indulge since it's illegal back home in California. As far as the service goes, they were very kind and accommodating of our fairly large group. This was a great meal, and I highly recommend a visit!

We came to Duck & Waffle for brunch, as it was highly recommended by one of our friends. We were not disappointed. The food was great! We ordered the Duck & Waffle (confit leg, fried duck egg, with maple syrup) and the Colombian eggs (with avocado, tomato, onion) with smoked salmon. Both dishes were delicious. I was a bit skeptical on the Duck & Waffle at first as one of my favorite brunch dishes is Chicken & Waffles. However, the duck with the egg and maple syrup were the perfect combination. Both sweet and savory, but not overpowering one another. The egg dish was cooked perfectly and the smoked salmon was divine. If ever in London again, I'll be back at Duck & Waffle.

One of the quick and great meals we had in London was at Duck and Waffle, what a great concept?!! The interior is modern rustic and very inviting, the staff was super friendly, professional, attentive and helpful. The food was absolutely delightful and the waffles were perfect and crispy. The duck was crispy and tasty on top of the waffles. The good grad appetizer was just perfect to split between the two of us. Will definitely go back again.

I am a BIG fan of duck and Duck & Waffle really hit it out of the ball park for me. Back home in the U.S we are used to the Chinese Peking Duck and more traditional French duck dishes. When i saw this place on yelp my mind was completely blown. Duck & Waffle (5/5) Duck Confit over a perfectly cooked waffle and some sort of homemade maple syrup topped with a sunny side duck egg. Must get!! Duck was tender, almost fall off the bone and the runny egg was heaven since it helps offset some of the saltiness from the duck. Duck Fries (5/5) This was a first trying duck fries when I was here in June. Fried in duck fat, the fries had great texture and was perfect all on its own without any ketchup or sauces. Foie Gras Creme Brûlée (5/5) This was the dish I was crazyyyy about. I mean come on!! Creme Brûlée from Foie Gras?! So buttery and savory with a hint of the sugar, served with a buttry Roll topped with something i forget. This dish is genius and I wish they had this in San Francisco.... I still miss it til this day. Overall, MUST TRY in London. Service was spot on and servers are pretty tentative in filling your drinks and taking your plates away.

I was so excited to try this place with all the unique options. We walk in and are promptly seated. There is a modern, airy feel to it with an open kitchen. They have wonderful (but pricey) cocktails on tap. Sadly I was a bit disappointed. I had the creme brûlée dish that had not much flavor at all. They tried to be savory and sweet but the texture and flavor weren't for me. The portion was small. The fruit in vinaigrette was amazing! Very unique. Our friend had the burger which looked (and was told) amazing. The pork and waffle was also a very small serving. Overall this place was meh. I think it's more the atmosphere that makes it what it is.

Traveled to London with 2 friends and I had this place bookmarked as a must eat because I love ducks. I've only heard of chicken of waffles, so duck and waffle was a must. We ordered 4 things: Vietnamese salad with crispy duck: The skin was crispy and duck was juicy and tender. The salad itself was phenomenal. It was very refreshing. I would definitely order it in the summer while sitting on the patio. It was definitely worth the extra $4 for the duck in my opinion. Duck and waffle: The waffle was very soft and chewy and the maple syrup wasn't super sweet. The duck's skin was crispy which was good, but the meat itself was dry. The duck was overcooked, so it was hard to chew. The egg on top made the overall dish look nice. I stacked the duck, egg, and waffle together then dipped it into syrup so that I was able to taste the whole dish itself in one bite. Dry fried duck tongues: I've had duck tongues before, so I thought dry fried was an interesting way of making them. My friends and I thought the dish was way too salty. It wasn't dry at all and I think it's probably because of the sauce which made it wet and not so much fried even though it was really oily. Duck fat fries: It was so fatty and tasty. It came with ketchup and I think the white sauce was mayo. I love fries in general and I don't think it's possible to mess up fries. I'll definitely order fries again.

I came in on a Friday around 11. There was only 2 other tables in the restaurant so the service was good. I ordered the duck and waffle as it is their sisters dish. The duck was cooked to a wonderful crisp outside and tender inside. It balanced well with the seasoned maple syrup. For the price point (£18), my only thing would be if the dish came with a small salad. Otherwise would recommend!

This restaurant was one of my favorites while visiting London. We shared the duck & waffle, duck beni, duck fat fries, duck tenders and their salted caramel waffle for dessert. The duck and waffle was my favorite! The combination of duck with the sweetness of the syrup and waffle was perfect. The duck beni was served with shredded duck, but I prefer the whole piece of duck. The duck tenders were kind of dry, but my husband liked it. The fries were good, but you don't really taste any duck in it. The dessert was so good!! Definitely get it to finish your meal!

I love the original Duck & Waffle so I was really excited for the casual version.

I'm actually starting this review from the restaurant, where I've been sitting at my table, waiting for ketchup, for about thirty minutes without anyone stopping by to check on me. I long ago finished the duck and waffle, but the only people being waited on are men or groups of two or more (the two guys next to me have ordered, received, and finished their desserts while I've been sitting here and they are now paying their check...hmmm). This is all quite disappointing because I was so looking forward to this lunch. The food has been good. Everything is crispy here, particularly the duck and fries. The closest I've had to this meal previously is chicken and waffles at the now shuttered M3 in Cambridge, Massachusetts and duck poutine at St. James Brasserie in Reno, Nevada. My husband is a big fan of crispy fries, while I'm partial to the softer ones (drenched in fat). Since D&W's version is scrape-up-your-mouth crispy, I took one bite and knew I would need a condiment to help them go down (mayo, ketchup, anything). Trouble was, no one bothered coming over to check on me when the fries were still hot, even though I was sitting immediately adjacent to two other tables that were being waited on. The worst part was when a couple sat next to me, I overheard the server ask if they wanted ketchup with their fries! I think the problem may have stemmed from confusion among the staff as to who was responsible for me. When I arrived, I checked in at the front desk, noting that I'd made a reservation. As others have noted, weekday lunch reservations are not necessary, even if you're heading to a matinee show, like I was. The hostess/server (Eirini?) seemed annoyed that my reservation had been for two people but it ended up being just me. I was several minutes early, so I opted to check out the ladies room downstairs before being seated (it's nice, though one bottle of soap is mislabeled "lotion"). When I returned, she sat me at a table near the front between the open kitchen and bar. In hindsight, since it was just me, I probably should have just sat at the bar, particularly because the bartender looked a lot friendlier than the wait staff and because people at the bar were actually being attended to, unlike me. The woman who sat me was not the woman who took my order, as expected, but the woman who took my order (Dominika?), though friendly enough, was MIA the rest of the time except for when the hostess brought me the check and walked away. Only then did my order taker reappear to close the check. She had been a good saleswoman, offering me drinks when I said I would just have water (I would have ordered beer, but the menu made it look like I could only order beer for four people). When she mentioned juice, I asked if they had anything fresh squeezed and they did--grapefruit, orange, and apple. Apple sounded nice, so I went with that and wasn't disappointed expect it was all ice (I thought Londoners didn't put ice in their drinks?). I did eventually get that ketchup, but by that time, the fries were cold and I wasn't really in the mood for them. I picked through them for the bigger ones, trying to avoid the sad little ones, too small to really count as proper fries (see photo). I've worked in food service for several years and this sort of poor service is common and expected in the States because waiters know a table for one won't garner a huge tip. I'm little surprised that our transatlantic friends treat a table for one the same.

We had reservations for the duck and waffle that was on the 40th floor but we weren't aware that kids under 21 were not allowed(my brother is still a teenager, hence why we weren't able to go to that location). We opted for this location instead. The wait staff were very welcoming and were friendly. Really wanted the creme brulee'd foie gras but they ran out of foie gras! Was utterly disappointed but I will be back for this. My mother and I split our dishes so we could try out the two popular dishes. Duck burger with ramen: duck, overall, had a nice savory flavor. I love how the skin was slightly crispy with the right amount of duck fat under. Delightful combo. Ramen kind of through the whole burger off. Was it really necessary to include it in the dish? Duck and waffles: I am a sucker for chicken and waffles but duck and waffles? Game changer. It's an upgrade by far. Duck is tender in both dishes. I love the maple syrup that they provide with your duck and waffles. Sweet but not overpowering. Pour it on the duck to get that pop of flavor of sweet and salty. Lovely combo. Duck neck: I can do without this dish. It was way too salty to peak my interest. Had one bite and I couldn't have another bite.

We weren't able to get reservations to the actual Duck & waffle restaurant located on the 40 something floor. So we decided to come to the local branch, which is cheaper and more casual. We're so glad to come here ! The foie gras crème brulee was amazing. I never thought you can make a savory crème brulee, but it worked! It's rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness due to the sugar glaze. It was plenty for the amount of bread that came with it. The duck fat fries were alright, not as flavorful as I expected. The duck ears tasted like chips and it came in a brown bag that looks like a packed lunch. I was not really impressed by it. I got the duck & waffle as the main course and it is absolutely better than the chicken & waffles from Roscoe's in America. My duck was still very moist and the waffle was perfectly crispy. Then you pour the syrup on top and it is the perfect dish. My fiance got the duck burger with double patty. To be honest, you taste more of the 2 beef patties than the duck. But it is still one good gourmet burger.

We had made reservations for lunch but once we got there, the restaurant had plenty of seating and there didn't seem to be a wait. This location is also across the street from Dover Street Market and about a block away from Chinatown. We had the duck burger, duck and waffle, and foie gras creme brûlée. The duck burger, as other reviewers have mentioned, was really moist. The sauce was yummy and the dill in particular helps cut the fattiness of the duck. The foie gras creme brûlée was delicious but the single(!) dry piece of bread it comes with does it no justice at all. It would've been better off with some crackers or just more of anything to spread the delicious foie gras.

Had our Christmas eve dinner here. Ordered: Duck & waffle (their specialty), Grilled scallops, Schnitzel, and Duck shawarma. There is 20% VAT on the prices of their food. A 12.5% discretionary tip will also be added onto your bill. Duck confit was DRY! Shawarma was plentiful and moist. Scallops were ok. Schnitzel was dry. The cocktails ordered were not worth its £6 price tag. Hyped-up to the max!

Had a great meal here with my family on my final day in London. We had top knotch service from all team members that were quite attentive to our needs. We were very impressed with the efficiency of the staff. We may have ordered a side of ketchup from one member and another promptly delivered it. The establishment ran like a well oiled machine. The duck fat fries were super tasty, the waffle was cooked to perfection and the fried duck melted in your mouth. The duck burger was also delicious. The happy hour included some discounted drinks, the dark and stormy was quite satisfying.

They had me a happy hour. We made an impromptu stop in here for happy hour and this was a great choice. They have several beverages for 5 pounds and bites for 3 pounds. Initially we were seated by the Hostess but then realized that we needed to be seated at the bar for what we wanted. With 15 minutes left on the happy hour clock, I decided to have the duck fat fries and 2 duck and stormy beverages. The fries were seasoned well with lots of herbs and not greasy at all. The only complaint for the drinks is that there wasn't enough time for me to order another. Our barista was friendly and made sure that we had everything that we needed. The establishment itself is nice and casual. I love that they had old school American tunes in the background adding to the ambience. The decor is simple, clean and modern. This seems to be a great meet me spot for mates and coworkers. I could definitely see myself being a regular here if I lived here. Should you find yourself near Trafalga Square or Picadilly Circus, this place is but a short stroll away. Check it out.

Amazing restaurant, and so incredibly helpful when I booked a table in advanced for a large group of about 12 for brunch. I had been so stressed because there were late arrivals and additional arrivals - things that restaurants can really be picky about, but they were incredibly kind and professional with us. Food was also quite delicious, fresh, and very reasonably priced.

Everything was EXTREMELY salty to the point I had to gulp water between every bite. Was ultra disappointed at the fried duck tongue. It was salty beyond belief and dry as well (each bite was just fried salty crisp and bone--couldn't taste any tongue flavor). Creme brulee was good in flavor, but too salty as well. The saving grace was broccolini, but that was drenched in salt and sauce as well. Would not recommend--please take your money elsewhere. Overpriced and underdelivered. Update: At the end of the meal I complained to the manager about how ridiculously salty the duck tongue and creme brulee were and she talked back to me and accused me of lying. She said "why did you eat 80% of the food"? I responded "because I was trying to force myself to eat it." And she kept insisting I was trying to eat without paying because I "ate 80% of the food." And I should have complained after the first bite. In my culture, you eat what's in front of you even if you don't like it, because someone worked hard to prepare it. That's why my friend and I tried eating the whole dish, but we couldn't down the extreme saltiness. That's why we couldn't take it and finally I complained. Very unprofessional manager. She insisted I was lying to get free food. Extremely disappointed. Please don't bring your business to such a hostile restaurant.

Love to eat duck? Then this place is a must visit when in London! We initially wanted to eat at the original Duck & Waffle, but since they were booked, but we opt for this location and I'm glad we did! FOOD: Although, Duck & Waffle Local has a limited menu of the original Duck & Waffle, it has most of the popular items at this location. They also have non-duck items such as steak and veggies on their menu. We ordered: + Duck & Waffle: half a Belgium waffle, with duck thighs and sunnyside egg paired with maple syrup with poppy seeds! The waffle was nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The thigh wasn't too oily, nice and crispy and tender on the inside. The sunnyside egg was a great addition, since the runny egg yolk is good with pretty much anything. + Foie gras burlee: omg this was freakin amazing! If you are a foie gras fan, I highly highly recommend this! Imagine foie gras with crunchy sweetness added to it! The only suggestion I would add, is provide more bread, it's not enough for that much foie gras. We asked for more, and it was 1 pounds extra, which isn't too bad. + Steak: the seasoning was a little too salty and the greens it came with was too bitter for us , but other than that the steak was juicy and tender! SERVICE: It wasn't too busy when we arrived, so service was great! Very attentive and efficient. AMBAINCE: I really like the decor they have here! It has the vibe of a cozy barn. Bathrooms are located downstairs to the right of the restaurant. Verdict: If I'm ever back in London, I would definitely come back and try their other items!

After googling and searching for a brunch/lunch place to eat nearby, I came across this location. I like duck so why not try it? We ordered the duck burger and duck and waffle. This is a hipster, trendy place - reminds me of a local spot that'll they'll have in SF. It definitely has that feeling. It's open and spacious as well. So on a nice day if you wanted to enjoy the outside, you can sit on the patio side. I enjoyed my duck burger, and duck + waffle. The portions are a little smaller and pricier than I would like but everything was pretty good. We also had a side of duck fries, I enjoyed it but in my opinion, it could be have more duck flavor.

Came here for a late dinner. I ordered the burger while my husband ordered the duck and waffle. Both were great dishes! We had been traveling though Italy for a little over a week eating nothing but pasta and pizza, so that burger definitely hit the spot! The duck and waffle came with some sort of fig syrup that was delicious. Will definitely come back when we are back in London.

I came her with a few friends after not being able to get into the original Duck & Waffle restaurant and were excited to try the food which is raved about online. If you are looking for the original fancier duck & waffle be sure to make reservations! I like duck and I like waffle. I've never had them together before but have had chicken and waffles and am a fan of that. After coming to Duck and Waffle, I am definitely a fan and wish there was one in LA! I was surprised to see that there was no wait when we arrived and the service was spectacular and very quick. We tried the foie gras creme brulee and that was a good appetizer, but the best part of the meal but I would order it again if I were to ever come back. I also tried the duck fat fries and the duck ears and would not bother ordering those again if I were to come back but they were neat to try. Now... onto the main courses. I ordered the duck burger with a double patty. I don't know what it was, but I felt like this was one of the best burgers I have ever had. If I could go back, I would get a single patty instead of the double as I feel it was be easier to eat and possibly better balanced. The combo of the perfectly cooked pattys, the duck juice, the crispyness of the dried ramen, it was just an awesome burger. I am getting hungry again just thinking of that burger!! I got a chance to try the duck and waffle as well and it was another delicious entree. With some chicken and waffle places, one of the complaints I've had is that sometimes the chicken gets dry at times and is not consistent. The duck here was flavorful and juicy and the waffle was cooked very well. It is a tough choice between the duck & waffle and the duck burger but you can't go wrong with either.

The Duck & Waffle near Liverpool Street station can be difficult to obtain a reservation for a decent hour if you don't plan ahead well in advance. They still have open seating at the bar area, but only a very limited bar snack menu. You still get a chance to enjoy the view of London from 40 floors up, just no duck...only some sweet waffles. If all you really wanted to try, however, is the actual duck and waffle dish, Duck & Waffle Local is the way to go. No reservation needed, plenty of space, and comparatively cheaper for the same exact meal. In the now somewhat saturated space of chicken and waffles, duck and waffle was a nice small but luxurious twist on the dish. The duck was rich and flavorful, as expected, and the waffle was just as good as you'd expect it to be. Topped off with a fried egg and maple syrup, it wasn't too large of a meal but definitely left that sort of heavy brick feeling in your stomach.

I expected more from this restaurant. The menu seemed limited and slightly different from photos posted at the other location. The service was crappy. It was a weird vibe in my opinion. The staff seemed rather slow in everything they did. I watched the guy prepare my dessert. He went from doing things around the kitchen to making our brownie waffle dessert... but he began without washing his hands or putting gloves on. Kind of lost my appetite after seeing that. Next time I would prefer to go to the other location. Overall, the food was good and the watermelon iced tea was great!

Despite the Piccadilly area being one I try to avoid due to heavy foot traffic, this place is worth fighting through the crowds. Their duck Eggs Benedict (crispy duck skin, two eggs, hollandaise sauce on waffles) was probably one of the best tasting things I've eaten in a long time. Even when I show up with a large group, the wait time isn't terrible and the staff is still on top of their game. I recommend the duck creme brûlée as a side for the Eggs Benedict. Also killer. I would recommend passing on the duck donut. It sounded good but in comparison to everything else, sort of fell short.

Came here with a group of girls for dinner after hearing rave reviews. Im not normally an adventurous eater but i do love duck so i was so surprised they have so many different entrees with duck in it. Obviously we got the duck and waffles. The eggs were a bit overcooked. The waffles were good. Duck was tasty. We order a couple of different appetizers including the duck gizzards which were my favorite. Overall the food was good and the service was great.

The food was immaculate. Fluffy waffles with crunchy corners, perfectly encrusted hazelnuts and banana, none of it overtly sweet. The yogurt tasted fresh and the honey comb in it was divine. The fresh mint tea was light on flavor even after steeping for 10 minutes. All in all, a delicious stop worth taking.

Pricey food in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, but far from the prices of the original Duck & Waffle. My wife and I split a duck burger and fries. Added a second patty for some extra protein since we were sharing. That and fries was £20. It was absolutely delicious. The burger is a tower of a duck meat patty with some sliced pieces of dark duck meat (leg) on top. The sauce was good and a double patty burger and fries was good enough for us to share before the theatre. Duck fat fries were surprisingly tasty.

The best fish out of everything we ordered was the foie gras creme brûlée with the muffin topped with a caramelized popcorn. The duck and waffle was good but nothing extraordinary. Service was friendly and attentive.

My first meal in London was a delicious success thanks to Duck & Waffle Local, the more casual, cost friendly version of London's 24 hr eatery Duck and Waffle. Good enough to inspire me to write my first review in years! My boyfriend and I split the duck jam doughnut, foie gras creme brûlée, the duck and waffle, and duck fat fries. All were delicious, but the two dishes one MUST get in my humble opinion would be the duck and waffle and foie gras creme brûlée. Words can't describe the exquisite combinations of flavors these two dishes provided, so just trust me on this and order them! Service was also fast and friendly. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated and it didn't do too much damage to my wallet. All in all, it was a great way to kick start my Europe vacation and I have no complaints. 5 stars!

Searching for a place for dinner/ light meal after our show at the Criterion Theatre we came upon this place. Upon entering we were greeted by the management team, who ushered us in to this new location. Extremely friendly wait staff , prompt service , & very hospitable‼. We ordered 2 sides, a main , 3 pints,& and a dessert all for 38.16£! I want to share that it's rare that places dazzle me with service and food quality, but this place was so on point that I took the time to add their profile. Good establishments need to be supported, so add this place next time your near Leicester Square and enjoy !

I could not wait to come here to eat. I was not let down. So delicious! I had the duck schnitzel and we also had the duck burger with crispy duck confit and an order of duck fries. I would recommend this place! I enjoyed the outdoor seating too.

Firstly.. The filter coffee is bottomless!! I ordered the duck burger my friend ordered the classic duck and waffle. Both meals were succulent and quite sweet. Although the raw ramen in the burger was really pretty to look at, it doesn't really add any flavour to the whole meal. More so texture and crunch. Also ordered the broccoli and duck fat chips. The chips were good but the broccoli was a little bleurgh in comparison to the amazing main dishes. Overall really delicious and yummy place to go for lunch/dinner or even casual drinks!

The menu is not the largest but pretty solid. The duck and waffle was really nice and accompanied well by a HH Negroni. It's a pretty casual spot but quick in and out, in my experience.

My original plan was to go to the duck and waffle next to the gherkin for the view and experience but they had such a door policy with the dress code and reservation after doing some sightseeing this local one popped up and I was so happy to just be able to walk in and sit down with no hassles. I ordered the duck schnitzel and it was so light and good with different flavors I definitely recommend this plate if you are undecided. The service was was great and there was no wait.

A lovely "rustic chic" restaurant that specializes in all things duck and/or waffle. The service was excellent with a friendly staff. I had the duck shawarma and butternut squash soup. The other dishes had amazing presentation and I would definitely recommend this place.

Wow, this place has great food. We got the duck fat fries, duck&waffle, and duck breast schnitzel. Hands down , the schnitzel for the win! Unbelievable. All the food was excellent, but...that schnitzel though. Light, perfectly fried, and served with a perfect salad on the side. Not a huge beer list, but they have a few great locals. The place is big, too, so you may actually get in here when mainstream SoHo let's you down. Do it! Great food and the service was wonderful.

Amazing views, amazing staff, amazing drinks! If you are in the area do not skip this! Andrew was incredibly kind and personable, he made excellent recommendations on drinks. The views were to die for! Again, do not skip this. Just pop in for a drink if you don't have a lot of time.

Stopped by midday for a wine break, so I can't speak for the food (although the food around me looked delicious.) I loved the interior of the restaurant. At night when I passed by, it was bustling with people. Service is wonderful and the waiters/waitresses are friendly to tourists. I really appreciated that!

This was my last night in London meal and I'm so glad it was! I love duck. It's one of my favorite things to order when I'm in Europe because it's almost the same price as chicken. In the States, most places charge at least twice as much for duck. I also love chicken and waffles (it's usually what I have for my birthday lunch) so this restaurant seemed like the natural choice for my last night dinner. My partner was being a grump and said he didn't want to eat anything but would sit with me and have a drink. But once he got to the restaurant and saw the menu and the food on the other tables he caved and helped me eat all the delicious food. We ordered the duck & stormy, olives, duck and waffle, and the duck donut. Everything was delicious, but my favorites were the olives and duck and waffle. The staff was friendly and courteous.
