18th Floor Restaurant & Bar

Eighteen floors above Stratford at The Gantry Hotel, 18th Floor Restaurant & Bar pairs an elevated dining experience with panoramic views across East London. With open-air rooftop terraces, a stylish dining room and a lively bar, it's a place to settle in for everything from after-work drinks and dinner to a night out with friends. As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere builds with cocktails, music and DJs at the weekend.

The menu puts British meat and seafood centre stage, from beautifully prepared steaks and generous sharing cuts to whole grilled Scottish lobster. Start with the classic prawn cocktail, made with king prawns, iceberg lettuce, avocado and Marie Rose sauce. Elsewhere, seared tuna with black sesame and Asian slaw sits alongside half chicken with mushroom and truffle sauce, Savoy cabbage and smoked bacon. A selection of sides, including truffle mac and cheese and broccolini with orange and chilli butter, completes the menu.

The drinks list features wines from across Argentina, Italy, Bordeaux and Napa Valley, alongside a selection of signature cocktails, perfect for a pre-dinner drink or a longer evening at the bar.

For something sweet, finish with a dark chocolate and pistachio crémeux slice with crème fraîche, or vanilla and ginger biscuit cheesecake with salted caramel!
