The Taste SheriffFebruary 22, 2017Great lively place by the canal to have a beer on a sunny day and chill.
Amy YApril 26, 2015Usually great location + nice neighbourhood = bad food. Lucky for us, The Waterway bucks the trend. Get the grilled squid appetiser or the Egg's Benedict (not too heavy)! Pimm's pitcher optional.
Minka Monica LiJuly 6, 2016Longtime favorite in Maida Vale. Nice to sit outside in the summer and cozy to sit inside by the fireplace in the winter. They play major sports matches on the big screen.- Polina MelamedJuly 26, 2015Beautiful pub-like place overlooking the Little Venice canals. Try the burger, it's freshly made on the outdoor grill!
Christopher WebbJanuary 18, 2016lunch in a party of nine including four children under five. Food, wine and service all top notch. A little pricy but not unexpected.
Eleonora F.May 15, 2015Very nice vibe and relaxing place but when it gets very busy is not s nice and the service is a bit disastrous - we had some not very nice experiences
the place is lovely. the food is bit expensive and the service not always the best but the location next to the canal is definitively worth it
Great pub on the canals in little venice. food is fantastic and if it's sunny there's no better place to be.
Mirella🐚July 9, 2019You cant have dessert outside if you don’t eat savoury food also. other than that it is a great place for all seasons
Great atmosphere, nice meeting place with your friends especially in the outside area. Get a meze sharer and enjoy your night.
Time Out LondonMarch 26, 2012Right on the canal path, in view of the longboats moored along the banks, the Waterway makes good use of its location, with a decent-sized decked area out front. Read more
Raneem Al DaoudApril 10, 2019Love this place. They have a very nice garden. I recommend going around 5 when it’s still not dark.- Mihnea MiculescuJune 30, 2016Great little terrace by the canal, go for drinks on a sunny day. The food is pretty decent too!
Mariet V.February 14, 2018Very nice location, especially when its sunny! The burgers are delicious, but a bit pricey. Very friendly staff!
Ben AdelieOctober 13, 2014Large gastro-pub by the canal. Expensive food, but comfortable with a good atmosphere and music. The staff can be a bit dismissive and forgetful.- ☆ もDもN ☆March 17, 2014Wow i cant wait to go back there its THE place to be on a sunny afternoon ! Food, Pimms & amazing atmosphere
Iago Fouquet SchmidtDecember 2, 2014Great great great burger in a great ambience with friendly staff and nice beers by the canal
Waterway deluxe burger is great with the rosemary fries!
Elsy SalgueiroSeptember 16, 2016Very nice vibe and relaxing place by the canal. I loved the sangria !
Mark OldfieldJune 17, 2016Had a very pleasant afternoon. Steak was well cooked, wine was good and plentiful
Paris SmithSeptember 8, 2014The best burgers I've ever had great in summer and some gorgeous mojitos
Perfect spot for summer drinks, nice crowd... food menu pretty boring though unfortunately
Alex GibsonOctober 2, 2017Quite expensive given the standard of food is only okay, but a very pleasant spot by the canal.
The food here is fantastic as is the service. Try the grilled squid!
Best Pimms in London, the BBQ is brilliant, amazing place to chill out, mix of crowd, a place for all seasons
Duncan BrownMay 10, 2011On the canal + a great beer garden, but I can't recommend this place due to bar staff being complete tools that seem annoyed anytime someone bothers them with their custom. Waiting staff were good.
AgathaJuly 13, 2013Best part: location. Worst part: people. Why all beautiful places have to be full of irritating stuck ups? GO. AWAY.
If you are a meat lover try the pork fillet. And the bar is buzzing on a saturday night
Chris BelseySeptember 19, 2011If you are there on a Sunday, go for the roast...It's amazing! Read more
Francesca LoveApril 21, 2012Nice expensive place, no Scandinavian cuisine as suggested around the internet though!!!
Oliver RoickMay 4, 2014If you wear a polo shirt and wrap your cashmere jumper around your shoulders, you should go here.
Greene & Co.August 15, 2014Spectacular views match the vibrant cooking in this chic but comfy eatery
Robert ClarkAugust 7, 2011As others have said, appalling service that makes you feel like an annoyance to the staff. Shame, as location excellent.
