Fab idea i thought and off we went. The Duck and Waffle is on the 40th floor in the Heron Tower http://duckandwaffle.com/
Not for the faint hearted if you are not keen on heights! We had not made a reservation and that was a mistake.. popular spot for Londoners and tourists alike! The lift is all glass on the outside of the building and it is very fast.. my ears popped on the ride up!
We went up to the bar and was put on a waitlist for a table.. very happy we did that since we then had the most amazing drink (i had 2 of them actually :-)) It was called "Rhubarb" and is made of DWΣ rhubarb liqueur, DWΣ rhubarb cordial, sparkling wine... AMAZING.. i now need to recreate this at home going forward.
We enjoyed the view and our cocktails and voila, 30 min later we had a table.
Since it was Sunday there was a brunch menu available and there were plenty of nice dishes to choose from. We ended up with the "Duck egg en cocotte" with wild mushrooms / gruyère / truffle / soldiers. This was really lovely (doesn't look great on the photo but the TASTE!)
We also had the "Colombian eggs" scrambled eggs on toast with avocado and chorizo. This was also very tasty.
We both then had waffles following the eggs, i had mine with fresh berries and cream and hubby had his with banana and cream. We were too focused on eating so forgot to take a photo. They also had a very nice dessert menu but we were in full on brunch mode so it had to be waffles.
I really enjoyed this place and will definately go back again.. there is also the famous "Sushi Samba" restaurant on the 38th floor which is next on our list of places to go to. I will however make sure that we have made a reservation next time to avoid disappointment.
I will leave you with a photo of the view!
