COCO Canary Wharf - Restaurant & Lounge

You're walking into one of those places that doesn't need to try too hard because it's already got the goods—floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the dock, sharp cocktails that taste like someone cared about them, and a menu that treats Asian flavours seriously rather than as background music. The crowd here skews corporate-smart-casual, especially after work, but it's not pretentious about it. You can actually have a conversation without shouting, and the service staff know their stuff. It's the kind of spot where you'll find yourself staying longer than planned, working through the cocktail list while the light changes over the water.
