Perched atop the 36th floor of Sky Garden, Darwin Brasserie serve modern British classics.

The newly constructed Sky Garden contains three beautifully landscaped public gardens and is now host to Darwin Brasserie, a contemporary and elegant restaurant with stunning views of the cityscape.

A sweeping bar wraps around the modern furnishings, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a breath-taking view. Its understated charm makes it the perfect hangout spot for a lavish Brunch, though it retains the high-quality feel of a fine-dining restaurant with sparkling glassware, a muted colour palette and welcoming staff.

Breakfast at Darwin Brasserie is a luxurious experience. Start off with a smoothie or juice and something for the table - from a muffin basket to charcuterie and cheese. With signature Breakfast classics or a variety of eggs, guests can also opt for something sweet such as a buttermilk pancake stack with caramelised banana, nutella and roasted hazenuts. Why not treat yourself to a cocktail with Breakfast for an extra special experience.

The Weekend Brunch menu offers a choice of main courses, including roast sirloin of Hereford beef and Yorkshire pudding, or gorgonzola gnocchi with walnuts and pear. With a range of starters and desserts to choose from, and an extensive wine list, this is a truly indulgent experience.

Sky Garden is close to Monument Station and easily accessible due to its central location, though the Thames is a short walk away for a post-Brunch stroll before you leave.

    Darwin Brasserie is an experience that goes far beyond just a meal — it’s where stunning views, excellent food, and a touch of elegance all come together. Perched high up in the Sky Garden, the restaurant offers breathtaking panoramic views of London’s skyline — it’s hard to beat the atmosphere, especially during sunset. The menu is thoughtfully curated with a great mix of British and contemporary dishes. I tried [insert dishes you had — e.g., the ribeye steak and the seabass], and both were cooked to perfection with incredible flavor and presentation. The ingredients tasted fresh and seasonal. Service was smooth and professional — staff were attentive, polite, and made sure we were well taken care of without being intrusive. From the moment we were seated to dessert, everything felt effortless and refined. It’s a fantastic spot for a romantic evening, a celebration, or simply to treat yourself. Definitely worth arriving a bit early or staying after to walk around the Sky Garden and soak in the views. If you’re looking for a special dining experience in London — Darwin Brasserie delivers in every way.

    We enjoyed our meal and time at the Darwin Brasserie at the London Sky Garden—but be warned, getting a reservation here is no joke. I had to book at least three weeks in advance to snag a spot, because otherwise you’ll end up waiting in a long line outside just to get into the Sky Garden. Once you have a reservation for any of the restaurants, you can skip the line entirely, which is such a relief. During the day, the vibe is super casual, perfect for a relaxed meal with an amazing view. Come evening, though, the atmosphere transforms—you’ll see people all dressed up, and the live music adds a really special touch, especially with the city lights in the background. Honestly, I think you get the best view of London from here. While entry to the Sky Garden itself is free if you book a ticket, I highly recommend making a restaurant reservation. It just elevates the whole experience to enjoy a meal while overlooking the breathtaking cityscape. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a memorable night out in London!

    We celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary while in London at Darwin! Our serve Telmo Borges was one of the highlights of our experience! He made us laugh, comfortable and feel like the most important people in the restaurant. He was the one to actually surprise us with the dessert with the words “Happy 5th Anniversary!” Besides the sensation service we received, the food itself was delicious and filled us up! The atmosphere and views are worth the money of what you’re paying. With a reservation you get free access to the Sky Garden without worrying about getting a reservations weeks in advance. I highly suggest you give this restaurant a try and you’ll be pleasantly surprised! It is definitely a core memory and spot for my wife and I!
