About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Priding ourselves on our motto ‘Famous for fish’ Smiths Restaurants is a name that has become synonymous with fine dining and quality, attentive service. Our restaurants are located in Ongar Essex (just off the A414) and Wapping in central London (near Tower Bridge). Both restaurants boast an extensive menu of fresh fish that we offer to cook in a variety of ways to suit every palette. We also offer locally sourced meat dishes to accommodate those who prefer their food terra firma. To compliment the quality of our food we have worked closely with well renowned independent wine merchants to ensure we have a selection of wines that are the perfect accompaniment to every meal. The only problem you may have a Smith’s is being spoilt for choice.

    Absolutely wonderful meal! Our first visit and we were so impressed. Food was delicious (our starter of avocado, crab and prawns was worth the visit alone!) Staff were attentive and friendly too. We will definitely return.
