Since 2002 The Waterway has established itself as one of Maida Vale’s best local restaurants and one of London’s greatest outdoor terraces with spectacular views overlooking the beautiful Grand Union Canal.
We have a large terrace outside in the summer and a cosy inside for the winter that feels like a ski chalet, complete with fireplace, live music and a superb menu all year round.

Our newly developed luxury function room is perfect for any event your mind can imagine. From speed dating, weddings, table tennis tournaments to birthday celebrations our versatile room can suit so many needs for that special event. Equipped with its own bar, self serving keg pourers and lounge area your guests will be wowed by the space.

Our menu is predominantly French and Modern European and focuses on delivering classic brasserie dishes. On the weekends come and enjoy brunch and a delicious Sunday Roast.

Amazingly chill New Year’s Day in this riverside joint. The virgin mary rocked my socks off, especially when combined with the wonderfully crispy, chicken burger. Staff friendly and mostly on it, and let us hang for longer than expected. Highly recommended.

The Waterway in Little Venice is basically where good vibes and great food collide in the best possible way. The staff? They’re on point—helpful without being in your face, making you feel like you’ve just stumbled onto a secret local hangout. The vibe is relaxed but lively, with just the right amount of people so it’s never too quiet or too packed. And the food? Pure bliss. Whether you’re here for a chill brunch or a cheeky drink, everything hits the spot. Plus, you’re right next to the water, which makes it feel like you’re in a little oasis in the middle of the city. If you’re in the neighborhood, don’t even think about skipping this one!
