Duck and Waffle

Housed at the top of the Heron Tower, a commercial skyscraper in the financial district, Britain’s highest restaurant is a favorite amongst the city’s foodies—as much for the 360-degree views as for the inventive cuisine. The pan-European menu emphasizes local, sustainable British ingredients, and it’s well suited for both a Mimosa-fueled brunch and a business dinner. The raw and cured section of the menu offers something for the health conscious, but the legendary (and eponymous) duck confit with a fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup is easily the most decadent—and splurge-worthy—brunch option in town.
