Gallio Canary Wharf

In Canary Wharf, Gallio channels the easygoing spirit of the Eastern Mediterranean into an all-day dining room. The heartbeat is dough, mixed and shaped by hand each morning, then rushed to the table still hot as flatbreads, pitas, pizzas and warm breads made for tearing and sharing. Smooth garlic hummus, cool tzatziki and the scent of oregano and za’atar bring the flavours of the region to East London.

The menu travels across the Eastern Mediterranean, bringing a mix of coastal and comforting flavours to the table. A saffron seafood stew folds white fish, mussels and tiger prawn into a creamy broth lifted with chilli, perfect for scooping with homemade pita. Beef stifado arrives aromatic with spice over soft rice pilaf, while an octopus and sujuk chorizo skewer brings gentle char, smoke and walnut crunch. There is comfort in cheese manakish and onion bazlama, and brightness in an Aegean fattoush layered with herbs and citrus.

From the oven come signatures built for convivial grazing, steak and cheese lavash scented with ras el hanout and molten kasar cheese, and lamb lahmacun finished with tahini yoghurt and pomegranate. Relaxed and social, Gallio suits a quick bite just as easily as a long, leisurely supper. Follow the aroma, gather your favourites and settle in. Book a table and let the dough do the talking, Mediterranean sunshine served slice by slice.
