Darwin Brasserie in City of London, Westminster

It was an amazing experience! Beautiful view and delicious food! And special thanks to Alin for the great hosting. I hope to be there again

View is really great with a plus if you are lucky enough for a sunny day. My wife decided to try a vegetarian or began plate and it was the best thing we ordered everything else was great as well.

Fantastic place to start the day, we arrived 30mins early to look around the sky garden before going to breakfast at the darwin brasserie on the next floor. Brilliant views, lovely staff and delicious full english.

First visit at Darwin and it was absolutely great. Oksana was amazing and went out of her way to make it a very special breakfast birthday. Thank you and we'll done A++++

Ønsket oss en hyggelig og rolig lunsj med god utsikt over byen. Opplevde det som en turistfelle, dessverre. Stedet har ingen lyddemping så "alle" snakker høyt for å overdøve. Med diverse bursdagsfeiringer og større grupperinger blir det mye bakgrunnstøy som tar bort sjarmen. Maten er ok men overpriset. Servitørene gjorde sitt beste men var nok underbemannet. Deler av bestillingen ble glemt og det var element på regningen som ikke var bestilt av oss. Ikke å anbefale. Det mest positive med hele opplevelsen var heisen. Det sier sitt..

Ali our server was great, very attentive and friendly. Do yourself a favor and order the Benedict, the Hollandaise was wonderful.

Was cloudy so views were not amazing. Superb food.

Had the pleasure of having breakfast this morning at this truly lovely little place! Beautiful views, and a delicious traditional English Breakfast spread (enjoyed by my husband and I) and a wonderful stack of buttermilk pancakes with caramelized banana and Nutella was a favorite of my daughter. Highly recommend getting here as early as allowed prior to your reservation to enjoy the breathtaking views of the city.

14/9/24 service was incredible and the staff were so lovely and so helpful with the menu the French girl was also really lovely too. The starters were quite disappointing and I was dissatisfied with the salmon it had little to no taste. But fortunately the mains really helped I had the steak and truffle fries which were beautifully presented and tasted great. I just wish they didn't add too much tomatoes on the steak lol. The desert was amazing too, I love meringue too so this was just a bonus for me honestly. Cheeseboard was nice too couldn't go wrong with it. Otherwise overall it was a pretty good experience and I would come back for drinks with friends.

I visited darein my honeymoon trip for celebrating. They gave me such an beautiful moment and time with there perfect services. Also food was good enough.

Great food and amazing service from Telmo!

Amazing experience. Delicious food and drink. We ate a regular and a vegan English breakfast and it includes unlimited coffe or tea. Besides the food, the view is definitely an attraction by itself. It’s worth the visit! For those going, I hope you are served by Telmo Borges. He was very attentive to our needs, as well as kind and helpful.

Gorgeous views and wonderful service by Telmo. Highly recommend!!

Excellent food and great service by Telmo Borges. The price is fair for the location.

7:30pm dinner with old friends visiting from Australia. Stunning views of the Thames (up/downstream), South Bank, Canary Wharf. Lovely atmosphere in restaurant. Food was flavoursome and delicious - pork chop slightly dry but all starters and mains tasty. Telmo was the waiter and he is superb. Attended to our needs without constantly hovering, didn't rush us from the table and after we had finished our wine didn’t try to push any other alcohol on us which our livers appreciated. Simply, he allowed us to talk and catch up against a very special backdrop of London at sunset and night. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic!! We were afraid this may be a place where the view was the main event and everything else was mediocre. NOT SO! The ambiance, the service, the drinks, the fun, and the food were all divine! We will be back!

My daughter bought me here for my birthday. We had a wonderful time. We were served by Telmo Burgess who was very attentive, informative and generally lovely. He really helped make our evening special

The views are spectacular Josh the Colombian waiter was wonderful to us

Went for my dad's 50th birthday! Awesome time and service and great food. Telmo was a very attentive and kind server, and brought out something special for my dad's birthday! Really appreciate him.

Veronica was awesome in her service

Lovely place to dine. It has a natural aura and provides a beautiful view. Caters for families with kids as well. Service is great and food is lovely. I commend Richard for doing justice to the service provided when I dined in…

Fantastic all round food ,service and view for my husbands birthday

Our whole experience at the Darwin Brasserie was exceptional. From queue jumping at the entrance, to quick security check, to our selected table, to the food, wine, views, and fabulous service, it was superb, and a great way to spend our last day in London before returning to Australia. A definite highlight of our UK trip.

Telmo is very nice, we had a very good meal!

I had a wonderful table by the window to sit and watch the river and all the activity across London. My breakfast was a delicious way to start the day and the service by Telmo was exceptional!

Great food and service… Telmo was really nice

I am very happy that I chose this restaurant for my engagement. Very nice service and the surprise at the end surprised us very much. We will 100% come back there again :) Thank you

Wonderful meal in a beautiful setting. Fantastic views of London. Well worth a visit.

Excellent food, great views and overall a nice experience!! Papa and Feliciana were great😀🤩

The place and the food are good, compared to other restaurants in similar places their gastronomy stands out, they would have to improve the reception, the girls are very distracted

We had a great time, shout out to Richard for the service and :)

Fantastic experience, food, service and top location

Great birthday party. Great service from Telmo

Today we received exceptional from Telmo and the food was amazing, we had sea bream with crashed potatoes.

The staff were very helpful and understanding. The venue manager even offered us a window-view table as I was celebrating my graduation from university. The waiters were very attentive to our impressions about the food served and the overall experience and recommended us the best dishes available. All in all, a memorable dinner to finish the graduation day with an exceptional abiance surrounded by exotic and tropical vegetation, breathtaking views of London from all corners, great live music and delicious refined food to glue everything together in a true harmony!

Served brilliantly by Telmo, professional and friendly. Fantastic place for a lovely birthday lunch.

Telmo’s service was second to none.

Best view of London and good service.

The food was delicious and our waiter, Krisztian, was super nice. The view is beautiful. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the background noise. It's pretty loud.

Great location and experience for an occasion or a date night. The atmosphere and view makes up for most shortcomings. It isn't the best food I've had in London, or for that matter the cheapest. But I understand it's hard to haul food up and demand dictates prices of supply. That being said it's worth it for the experience, photos and conversation later on. The kids pasta portion was (too) generous, Sea Bream was probably the best dish of the night. Pulled pork Cobb is good, but a salad at the end of the day.

Krisztian was hands down one of the best garçon / waiter I have ever had the privilege to be served by. His recommendations were 11/10 and his enthusiasm and approach were sublime. If Sky Garden was percect, Krisztian made it that much better! The Lamb Rump was top 5 of the best things I have ever tasted.

outstanding service and tasty food for sure a must place to go not only for the food

The staff was fantastic and accomodating. Andreea was a sweetheart and frequently came to check on me. The food was good with a nice view of the city.

Very good price quality, the food tastes very good. On top of it the service (by Telmo) was excellent and we were treated really good. At the end we even got a lovely surprise at the end. Thank you for this lovely experience!

We had a wonderful dinner, the food and service were excellent. Richard provided excellent service. We had a spectacular view of Thames and the Tower bridge from our table.

This was our first trip to London and our experience at Darwin was exceptional. The Sky Garden setting is a breathtaking view of London to start. If you are able to get a window reservation it is well worth the small extra cost and experience. Our breakfast was less than the cost of riding the London Eye, so take advantage- you’ll get a better view and unlimited time at the venue for photos and sightseeing before and/or after your meal. Our server was Kostas, who was a wonderful host to share our experience. He gave us additional tips for our stay and was kind and fun. He really was a major factor in our amazing morning at Darwin. The food was quite good. I had the three egg omelette with ham, swiss cheese, and spinach. The eggs were fluffy and to perfection. The spinach was fresh and tasty adding depth with the cheese to create a culinarily masterpiece to start my day. To complete my meal, I had the filtered coffee that was flavorful but not too bitter or robust- it was the right combination and hit the spot. My wife had the Buttermilk Pancake stack with caramelized bananas, Nutella and toasted hazelnuts. Most of our experience with pancake toppings is maple syrup. This delectable offering was quite simply outstanding. The pancakes were crispy on the outside and light and fluffy inside to create the perfect combination for taste and presentation. The banana was lightly grilled and soft. Combined with Nutella and hazelnuts, it was a chocolate lover’s dream of perfection. She was raving over her breakfast. At the end of our meal Kostas surprised us with a small plate that had “welcome to London” written in chocolate with a small brownie bites and blackberries that simply made our day and made us feel special. We had such a great time, Thank you so much for your awesomeness! Overall, our experience had three wins-exceptional food, service, and experience. If you come to London the breakfast is a must and the experience will be memorable and fun!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Darwin Brasserie with Andrea as our host. It was our final night in London celebrating my bday and she spoilt us with a lovely bday desert and extra attention. We had a great table and the food was lovely as was the wine and view! When entering at the street entrance we forgot we could go straight up to the reception and go straight up. Must remember not to line up next time with the others that haven’t booked restaurant bookings. Special shout out to the lady doing security. When we were going through the airport style security at the bottom of the lifts everyone was pushing in before us. She stopped these people that followed and made them wait as we had been. What a lovely lady. Respect and decorum at its finest. Otherwise we would still be there waiting for an opportunity to go next 😉. So thank you 🤩

Can't fault anything.. maybe just slower service..

The servers seemed to treat guests differently, which was disappointing. Despite spending £209 on food and drinks, the quality of the meal fell short of my expectations. While the food was edible, it wasn't anything special, and I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a friend.

The view was amazing! And our server (Richard) was very thoughtful and gave great food recommendations!

I enjoyed the Spiced Chickpea and Walnut Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, along with a side of olives—it was surprisingly delicious. The staff were fantastic, providing excellent and attentive service. Just a heads-up: be sure about your reservation, as there's a £25 cancellation fee (if you need to cancel within 24 hours)

Excellent food and customer service - we all enjoyed the spectacular views of the Sky Garden on the 35th floor. Many thanks for making my birthday a special one. Comes highly recommendable 👍

Had low expectations since the sky garden in general is a tourist trap. Views are nice but with the glass tint on the deck, pictures are distorted. Odd that there's airport security to come upstairs; glass is fragile. As for the food, yes a bit pricey for fixed course meal but I thought it was apt for the location and food choices/size were real good. I've been to many places like Sears tower, Windows on the World, Hancock, etc where the food was awful. Here, the time/care and creativity were evident.

A huge thank you to the foreign waiter who served us! Middle aged man with dark fading hair - serving between 9-10am! Absolutely outstanding! That man needs a raise! He was all over the place whilst the other staff seemed less interest! He was making everyone feel welcome! Honestly a credit to the restaurant!!!! Best waiter I’ve ever experienced! He made the experience 100 times better! All the staff were friendly - but he was outstanding!

I loved this place and especially the excellent service by Telmo Barges

Food was mediocre. Was really loud which ruined the atmosphere. Very overpriced. Don’t waste time your money

We had a wonderful evening yesterday. Special thanks to Krisztian who made our visit exeptional!

There wasn’t much food option for the kid menu and I didn’t really like kid fish fingers. Although, it was a great location and the starters were great.

Amazing experience,everybody was so attentive..we had a lovely surprise at the end as celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and 55th birthdays, thankyou so much,it topped off our weeks holiday perfectly.. It was good to see that no matter what the staffs role was, there wasn't a table walked by without plates etc being picked up,eyes wide open at all times,it's those little 'extras' that get noticed and you were certainly all pulling together as a team, well done and thankyou, we will definitely be back and are busy telling our family and friends all about it with high praise

The waiter called Halim was very nice and friendly and served us well. He is probably the best waiter that I have ever met and he even gave me a fist pump! The tomato soup was the best tomato soup ever. I would give Heinz tomato soup 8.5/10 and this tomato soup 9.7/10 (this is just for a comparison). The desserts were very nice! The attached image is of chocolate brownie and vanilla ice cream. Overall, had very nice food and very friendly staff.

We went for lunch to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary and were delighted with the experience. We paid for a window table and had a fabulous view across London. Our waiter, Telmo, was great, very attentive without being pushy. The food was really good, and the restaurant had a nice, buzzy atmosphere. The complementary 'happy anniversary' brownie bites were a nice touch when we were too full for dessert. We would definitely go again.

The view of metro London is spectacular. The high ceiling open garden setting is so peaceful. I had the chicken at lunch, and was impressed with how well it was prepared and presented. The service was exceptional. Papa , my server even arranged a window seat after I was seated otherwise. If I lived there I would be a regular.

Fascinating place and very friendly service. Thank you Richard and Ali.

Service was speedy. Richard served our food with a smile. Food always tastes better with a smile. Would definitely come back again.

Great reception, terrible table service. Our server was Maria. Inattentive to all our needs. We were better off asking our busser for assistance. Even when we tried asking for the dessert menu, she presented us with the check instead. We were there less than an hour, while the table next to us was only on appetizers when we arrived and was on dessert when we left. Food was decent. My fish was very well cooked.

Great setting, however a shame to have to have your aperitif/cocktail drink at the same time as the meal. We don't enjoy drinking our drinks in peace. The meal is good but expensive and not much on the plate.. it is better to go to the bar to enjoy the great atmosphere and the view (and for less money) the meal is not worth it. My husband and I were disappointed.

Is a very nice setting for an evening meal with a great view of London. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails. We were served by Richard and the service was incredible.

what an experience! A breakfast with a fantastic view of the city. You have to pay extra for a window table when you make your reservation, but I thought it was worth it. The food was delicious, and the employees very friendly. We are helped by Papa

Super friendly staff and excellent champagne. Breathtaking view. Cuisine and desserts are also promoted.

Heel mooi restaurant. Super vriendelijk personeel. Heel lekker gegeten. Mijn vriend was jarig en hij kreeg een kleine maar fijne attentie. Ik morste mijn thee en het personeel kwam direct met 4 man alles opruimen. Echt echt echt een aanrader! Het was hier fantastisch!

Personal atento y esmerado Menú limitado pero bien servido La vista única. Valió la pena totalmente. Un lugar para volver

Geri was a great waiter with wonderful suggestions. Great food - fabulous views and very good food!

punctuality, cleanliness, good service, perfect food, we chose to have breakfast there, definitely a good idea if you go with your family. the added value is definitely the view over the Thames.

Thank you very much to the hostess who knew Spanish and we understood perfectly with my request made by my marriage proposal and I greatly emphasize Andrea our waitress, was spectacular made our dinner was perfect was concerned at all times and for dessert surprised us with a beautiful proposal and also very well attended, we recommend them to our family and friends.Thank you for making our stay magical and unforgettable.

Delicious food, lovely staff with a beautiful view😍

Nice setting with great view, but the price is a little expensive for the meal service

Positive points: - impressive setting! - nice server, - excellent cocktails with sophisticated presentations! - little attention for a birthday (information specified in the reservation) Negative points: - very noisy, - fees in the restaurant (but indicated on their website), - service not at all up to the standard of the establishment!!! ->Out of 6 dishes, 2 are served once the other 4 are finished… ->Plates not cleared between starter and main course! -> despite the information on intolerance when booking and the reminder when taking the order, the starter was served with the food to avoid!!! - proposal from the server for accompaniments at the aperitif but charged £12 for olives + bread.. hot bread on arrival and stale after 10 minutes!! We pay for the setting (very high bill!) more than the quality (of food and service), disappointing experience…

Fantastic views, as expected, but we would have appreciated being forewarned that the Sky Garden (our main reason for this lunchtime double birthday visit) would be closed for maintenance. Food was great, but the service was lacking due to the fact that despite registering one guest as vegan at the reservation and reminding wait staff, their dessert once turned up with a non-vegan brownie, a second time with vanilla ice cream, which the person tasted before sending it back, and only the third try resulted in the mango and coconut which had been ordered. The dessert was comped, but I would have appreciated being told that the vanilla was also vegan in advance (is it!? We found no details on ingredients online). I appreciate that it's hard to find staff these days and everyone was very nice, but language skills were very basic and that's saying a lot as a table with 4 additional languages on top of English in our party. They were very accommodating on disabilities, which was greatly appreciated. Wheelchair accessible and autism friendly.

This thing of including service charge on the bill that I cannot chose how much or if i want to tip or not, I do not like at all. Also the access is chaotic. You don't know whether to jump the queue or wait, no indication. They retain my posters downstairs for some reason the rude lady at the gate would not disclose and I got to retrieve them when I'm back downstairs. And if you are going to be mixed with the rest of the people in the elevator, why different queues? Also, why no explanation that you need a second elevator to go up to the 36 floor where it is located. Food is OK but not that special. Don't like it. Overpriced. Would not recommend or do it again.

The staff was just so nice and helpful. Very friendly experience. The food (smashed avocado bread) was amazing. Even though it is a bit expensive but I think it is worth the money and I will surely recommend it to friends. The view is beautiful.

Darwin Brasserie, nestled within the stunning Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch Street, offers a delightful dining experience that perfectly complements the breathtaking views of London. As I entered the brasserie, I was immediately struck by the modern yet inviting atmosphere, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing an unobstructed panorama of the city skyline. The combination of lush greenery from the garden and contemporary design elements creates a unique ambiance that feels both upscale and relaxed. The menu at Darwin Brasserie showcases a variety of British dishes with a modern twist, focusing on seasonal ingredients that highlight the best of local produce. I opted for a few signature dishes, and each one was a testament to the chef's skill and attention to detail. The flavors were vibrant and well-balanced, showcasing both creativity and a respect for traditional British cuisine. For starters, I enjoyed a beautifully presented dish of heritage beetroot salad, complemented by creamy goat cheese and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. The freshness of the ingredients shone through, and it was a refreshing way to begin the meal. For the main course, I chose the roasted chicken, which was succulent and perfectly cooked, served alongside seasonal vegetables and a rich gravy that brought the dish together beautifully. The service at Darwin Brasserie was impeccable. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, eager to provide recommendations and ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable. They struck the right balance between professionalism and warmth, making me feel valued as a guest. Perhaps one of the most memorable aspects of dining at Darwin Brasserie is the opportunity to enjoy a meal while surrounded by the stunning views of London. As I savored my dessert—a decadent chocolate fondant with vanilla ice cream—the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the city. It was a truly magical moment, one that made the dining experience even more special. While the brasserie can be on the pricier side, I felt that the quality of the food, the exceptional service, and the breathtaking views justified the cost. It’s a perfect spot for a special occasion or simply to indulge in a memorable meal while visiting the Sky Garden. In conclusion, Darwin Brasserie is a hidden gem within the Sky Garden that offers a delightful combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and stunning views of London. Whether you're looking for a leisurely lunch, a romantic dinner, or a place to celebrate a special occasion, this brasserie provides an unforgettable dining experience that captures the essence of the city. I left feeling satisfied, inspired, and eager to return for another culinary adventure among the clouds.

I would have never imagined eating so well in such a touristy place. The location is spectacular, but the restaurant is even better.

Terrible service, bad food and exremely overpriced. The only good thing of this place is the view.

The waiters helped the girl choose everything from the menu. They spoke in Ukrainian, which was very convenient. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is pleasant.

Stunning place and very kind and helpful staff

An amazing view, the food was overcooked and just plain, to be honest I expected better.

Celebrated my birthday here . Food is wonderful but what makes it extra special is the service we received..kudos to our waiter Richard for taking care of us.

the view is awesome, the food is good and Andreea was the perfect host. very friendly, very attentive! perfect for a special everyday

The dinner was amazing and Richard, our sever was perfect. He suggested plates, created a great atmosphere and was fun. The food was tasteful and the ambience is unparalleled

Not welcomed! Immediately told by the girls at hostess stand that there is “a minimum spend” and told to look at the menu while they “see if there is a table for two.” Anglo family of four behind us, given four menus and immediately seated with no $ proviso.

Had to cancel our dinner due to flight delay. Immediate support and refund of deposit. Great service, highly appreciated. Hope we can make it on another day.

Thank so much ASHWIN for the service of our lunch. He was very kind and prepared.

Such a great spot! Amazing food and fantastic service! Thank you Ashwin for your kindness and care! The whole experience was totally amazing!

Excellent location to enjoy the most beautiful view of London. Great food and professional service. We'll definitely come back!

Sublime, by all measures! My waiter Alex made sure that I was taken care of while I had lunch here. I booked a window seat and had a gorgeous view of the Thames and London skyline while I enjoyed my meal. The hammock terrine and seafood roll were delicious, as was the rhubarb Negronis. I would definitely visit again the next time I’m in London.

Everything was excellent, and even more so the waiter Richard explained the menu very well, we are seniors and he had a lot of patience and understanding and knew well what to offer, he is a great person at the service of the Restaurant. We congratulate you art. Roberto Gerardo Rodríguez Sánchez

I had most ridicules dining experience ever. Being gluten intolerant and vegan all I could choose from the menu was boiled potatoes and chips. When asked waiter suggested gnocchi trying to tell me they are gluten free (clearly they are NOT). Poor poor poor, overpriced no atmosphere and omg no vegan or gluten free options. Still can’t belive it. The bill came to £250 😱

Great views, excellent service from Papa, food fine. English fizz recommended, too

A beautiful restaurant with fantastic views over London Bridge. Our waiter Kostas was so attentive and he managed to get us a table by the window which was lovely. Food was delicious.

Correct food, it is not a place that stands out for its preparations. Yes for the location, a sight worth seeing on a visit to London. 10 treatment from Richard, very kind and attentive at all times that makes the experience more comfortable.
