Historic and just beyond The City limits, chef-centric Clerkenwell is one of the most trendy and interesting quarters for London gastro-dining, which sets it in stark contrast to the adjacent City, which caters overwhelmingly to traditional business-focused dining.

Duck & Waffle

$$$ | City of London Fodor's Choice

Zoom up to the 40th floor of 110 Bishopsgate and head straight for the cult signature dish of confit duck leg, Belgium waffle, fried duck egg, and mustard maple syrup for a taste of foodie bliss. Open 24/7, with spectacular panoramas of The City, you might satisfy the munchies with a foie gras breakfast, served all day, alongside streaky bacon and homemade Nutella or an Elvis PB&J waffle with banana brûlée. Look, too, for the bag of spiced pigs ears and the big-as-tennis-balls spicy ox cheek doughnuts dusted with smoked paprika sugar. There's always a party vibe and you'll often find live music in the dining room.
