"Like every episode of What Happens In Kavos, most restaurants that come with a view are objectively terrible, but somehow we keep being drawn to them, like drooling moth-humans to a flame. The view at Duck and Waffle at the top of the Heron Tower is spectacular, but unlike most tall building restaurants, the food’s actually pretty good too. Think posh British cuisine with a twist, like Aberdeen Angus beef tartare or smoked eel with creme fraiche. Brunch here is an excellent decision (though book ahead), and it’s open 24 hours, so keep it in mind the next time you’re stumbling around drunk after a few too many. RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE" - David Paw
"There was a time when your mate would joyfully hum The Kinks every time you went near Waterloo, but these days they make the noise of a wounded animal whenever they pass through zone two. Take them to Duck And Waffle, a swish 24-hour restaurant at the top of Heron Tower. Not only does this place have one of the best views of any restaurant in London, it also serves dishes like bbq-spiced crispy pig ears, braised lamb shank, and a selection of O.T.T. brunch waffles. If your pal’s reached the point where they have a Pinterest dedicated to cabins in the wood, then bring them here to watch the sunrise over spicy ox cheek doughnuts after a night of cocktails. They’ll be back on board with London in no time." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"It’s 6am and you’re on the 40th floor of a Bishopsgate building watching the sun rise. Lobster roll in one hand, champagne in the other, a single tear rolling down your cheek. Yes, 6am is early for brunch. But at Duck and Waffle, a sky-high restaurant in The City, you can get breakfast all the way from 6am to 4pm. And there’s no hastily mashed avocado with a sad sprinkle of paprika here. Instead work your way through signature crispy confit duck with waffles drenched in mustard maple syrup. By the time 4pm rolls around you’ll be waving a fermented corn rib at the window while shrieking, “issaa gherkin!!”. Sober up and stay for dinner if you really want to keep the celebrations going." - rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Duck And Waffle has the kind of views that will make you feel like an absolute boss. Or at the very least, like you’re Alan Sugar’s cousin or something. At the top of the Heron Tower, you can see clear across the City whilst tucking into some scallops, fresh focaccia, or their signature confit duck leg on mustard maple syrup waffles. It’s also a great spot for a cocktail or two, and whatever you’re drinking you definitely want to get involved in the spicy ox cheek doughnut bar snack." - heidi lauth beasley
"Imagine a world different to this one, where you can order proper food from restaurants at 5am. Enter, Duck & Waffle. This spot is on the top floor of the Heron Building, has exceptional views of the City, and serves really good food all day and all night. 24/7. And yes, that includes Sundays. Their menu is posh British with a twist. In need of early afternoon work drinks and nibbles? Get a round of cocktails and a few of the pulled goat doughnuts at the bar. Famished from the excitement of spotting two has-been X Factor contestants on a Thames boat party? Finish the night right with some BBQ crispy pig ears." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
