• Din Tai Fung is coming to Canary Wharf

  

  They already have three restaurants in central London, but Din Tai Fung are heading east for their fourth opening, to Canary Wharf. The restaurant group best known for its perfectly pleated xiao long bao will be up and running in Crossrail Place early next year.

  It's the smallest of the four (although that's relative as there will still be room for 112 diners) but this one will also have a private dining room.

  It's been a while since we've seen the last Kricket restaurant opening, over in White City in 2018, but they're now getting ready to open some more.

  The first of these will be in Canary Wharf, opening in the North Dock area (close to the Elizabeth Line station there). If you're unfamiliar with Kricket, they describe themselves as "modern Indian

• Oasis Bar & Terrace will boast Canary Wharf's longest bar

  

  Perfectly timed for the on/off arrival of the British summer, Oasis Bar & Terrace is hoping to capitalise on Canary Wharf workers desire to grab a pint or Aperol Spritz post-work. To help with that it's got two defining factors in its favour.

  The first is the bar - at 17 metres long they're saying it's the longest in the area and pretty much guaranteed to mean you don't have to wait a long time to

• Test Driving Roe - the Fallow team go big in Canary Wharf

  

  After the big success of Fallow, the same team have gone much, much bigger with the opening of Roe in Canary Wharf. We went along to see just what's changed from Fallow, and it turns out to be quite a lot.

  We've known for a while that the team behind Fallow were opening in Canary Wharf and now we know what the restaurant will be called - Roe. 

  Similar to Fallow (and chicken spin-off FOWL), it'll be a nose-to-tail affair with a goal of championing "underappreciated produce". Here's a taster of the menu:

• Plateau in Canary Wharf has closed

  

  D&D restaurants have been shutting a few places recently as they restructure, with Avenue and Radici both closing earlier this year. But arguably their highest-profile closure so far is Plateau in Canary Wharf which has just shut the doors. 

  News of the closure was quietly revealed earlier in the week and the restaurant's website still shows details about Wimbledon screenings, so we can assume this was
