  • Neighborhood gem

  • Lively
Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, Central London, it is the first place you see when you walk under the bypass behind Paddington Station.

Known for its high ceilings and almost full-length windows, the natural light in Smith’s is just as nourishing and wholesome as the comfortable furnishings and exquisite selection of food and drink that we serve.

The venue is split into the areas:
• Main Restaurant
• Main Bar & Lounge Area
• Outdoor Terrace Canal-side


Smith’s is an ideal venue for weddings, on-location filming, major launch events, and multi-stage music and entertainment events.
The whole venue can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 400 standing. Its proximity to Paddington Station (50 yards from the Hammersmith & City Underground entrance) makes it quick to get to for those coming from out of town.

    Friendly greeting, taken to table that they prepere for our anniversary. Exceptional location in Central London, very close to Kensington, friendly staff especially Maurizio, who took the time to congratulate us on 25 years, and generally chat in a very pleasant manner. The food was amazing, can definitely recommend the truffle pasta, oysters and the rib eye. And a lovely touch at the end with a tradidional tiramisu. Thank you, all.

    Outstanding service Outstanding food and outstanding location in Paddington by the canal. We booked in advance and mentioned it was a special anniversary. They had reserved a beautiful table by the window. Highly recommended. Especially the 6 course tasting menu, it was the best food ever, still thinking about that beef tartare, yummy. Will defenitely be back very soon.

    You know. It was average. The sommelier was great. Apart from that the food was rushed, the vegetables were not cooked. The table was crammed next to another table and we apologised to each other that we would interrupt each others conversations. And for 2 people we spent. £600. So yes it was disappointing. Last time I went it was better and less cramped.

    Dear Neil, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations. While we’re glad you appreciated the expertise of our sommelier, we sincerely regret that other aspects of your visit fell short. Your comments about the rushed service, undercooked vegetables, and seating arrangements are very concerning. We strive to provide a high-quality and memorable dining experience for all our guests, and it’s disappointing to learn that we missed the mark this time. Many thanks EM
