Goodman Canary Wharf: perfect for summer

While the brave stood in line for two hours in Covent Garden for London's latest burger offering, our strategy was somewhat different: go to Goodman. We walked in to the Canary Wharf branch without reservation and without queue, took a nice table alongside the dock and had already decided that we would enjoy one of their burgers which, in terms of pure meat content, must be the classiest burger in London, because it uses the same aged beef as offered in their steak line up. Bite into their burger, which also has a nice smokiness imparted to it by the Josper grill, and the quality of the meat instantly shows. Sometimes we like dirty burgers, sometimes even from Dirty Burger, but in terms of out and out quality, we've not encountered a classier burger in London than Goodman. Goodman then is not only a go-to burger destination for us, it is without doubt in our top three.

As if that weren't enough, as a starter, we shared a lobster roll which has the same beautiful buttery brioche as sister restaurants Burger & Lobster and also like B&L, it is packed with meaty tail inside and a claw across the top. Finally for dessert, a totally unnecessary addition we should add, a chocolate torte and honeycomb ice cream ended the meal in the same style as the earlier courses.

The Canary Wharf branch is the sometimes forgotten outpost of the Goodman empire but it really shouldn't be, because it not only shares the same meaty ethos as the other branches, it offers menu items like the lobster roll that are not available elsewhere, embraces the same high levels of customer care from staff as the rest of the group and is alone in having an outside terrace fronting the docks such that eating there on a nice day becomes an absolute joy. Regular readers of our blog will know that we love Goodman, and the Canary Wharf branch is no exception.
