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.

    Visited this restaurant on several occasions over the years the quality of the food never changes from excellent. If you are ever in the area I recommend you book, you will not be disappointed! This time we opted for the 6 courses tasting menu and it was a true cooking experience from start to finish. Every single course was outstanding. We will be back in town next month and defenitely we are going to Smith’s for another great dinner. Well done!

    All good, great food, service, value and atmosphere. Not sure what’s going on with the service charge. It was included which is fine but then they ask you for additional service charge and claim the included portion is not shared with them and only for the bar staff? Doesn’t sound legit. Pls check and clarify.
    Smith's Bar & GrillResponded on March 13, 2025
    Dear Adil, Thank you for your kind words about our food, service, value, and atmosphere! We truly appreciate your support. Regarding the service charge, we apologise for any confusion. We never want our guests to feel uncertain about charges, so we’ll review our process and ensure our team provides clear information moving forward.

    We have eaten here many times and it never fails to amaze us. Quite a beautiful restaurant. We had the calamari and parmigiana which were delicious. We then opted for fillet steak which was cooked to perfection. Their wine list is excellent. Staff are attentive and friendly. No wonder it is very popular.
