Book a TableAbout Smith’s
There are restaurants near Paddington Station and then there is Smith's. Set on the banks of the Grand Union Canal in Paddington Basin, Smith's Bar & Grill is a modern British restaurant where considered cooking meets one of central London's most distinctive settings. Floor-to-ceiling windows onto the water, a marble bar running the length of the room, and a canal-side terrace made for warm evenings.
Open at 8am on weekdays and 9am at weekends, a short walk from Paddington Station. Full English, eggs Benedict and Royale with in-house smoked salmon, mushroom and truffle Benedict, and lighter things if the day calls for it.
The dining room next to the canal: calm enough for a working lunch, comfortable enough to take your time over one. Lunch is served daily from noon, with a set menu Monday to Friday at two courses for £26 or three for £29.
Dinner runs from noon until 11pm, and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Dry-aged Scottish steaks over fire, whole fish, a seven-course tasting menu on Friday and Saturday evenings.
