Duck and Waffle

Met that special someone halfway through a night out? Anytime is a good time for this modern British eatery, open 24/7 with no compromise on presentation and flavor. Overseen by Executive Chef Dan Doherty, Duck & Waffle owns the bragging rights for the highest restaurant in London. The sea of sparkling city lights will take even the most jaded diner’s breath away. The food is quirky and delicious, the cocktails are pretty darn special and the location is impossible to beat. A word of warning to the height sensitive, as you’re shooting up in the glass elevator – don’t look down.

Bob Bob Ricard

Soho is notorious for its endless streets of seemingly newly opened restaurants and hotspots. When you’re looking to crank up the romance, making the right choice is critical. Bob Bob Ricard is quite the London institution and it’s still turning on the charm. A glamorous throwback to the 1920’s, it captures all the glitz of Russian oligarchy in Europe. Diners are treated to majestic (dare we say OTT) décor, including their signature table side “Press for Champagne” button.
