When a signature dish is as famous as the views, you know you’re onto something. Duck & Waffle has been a London staple since 2012 and its eponymous concoction, a slab of crispy duck leg confit nestled over two pillowy waffles and doused in devilishly spiced maple syrup, has remained a menu favourite ever since. And then, of course, is the restaurant’s location. Take the lift to the 40th floor of the Salesforce Tower, which resembles a spaceship dropped in the middle of Bishopsgate, and enjoy an eyeful of the Shard, the Gherkin and more, while looking enviously on at your own meal. The second best-loved dish on the menu, consisting of strips of crispy pig ear, arrives in a brown paper bag mottled with grease. Just remember to tear your eyes away from that drool-worthy sight and take in the cityscape outside.
