  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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.

    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.

    Fabulous steak restaurant. This time we brought our daughter and partner who were equally impressed. We come every time we are in London. We always have the rib eye. This is an old fashioned steak but done properly. Our waiter Maurizio was absolutely outstanding. We have been served by him before and he is amazing and very interactive. Thanks again for a lovely meal.

    Without a doubt. The best steak house in London. We come every year from a couple to now a family with a baby. Alfredo is super attentive and to be fair the whole staff are too. Customer service like no other. Highly reccomend as we always do to anyone coming to Paddington.

    We did make a reservation, and we're given a beautiful table by the window. Beautiful surroundings, relaxing atmosphere. Staff were fantastic. The food was delicious, good portions. We started with oysters and calamari which were amazing, then we both had the pasta truffle, it was out of this world. Great experience over all!

    This was by far the best restaurant we visited while on holiday in London. The food was unreal we couldn’t fault anything we had. The staff were super attentive very friendly nothing seemed too much trouble. I would definitely visit again and recommend it to others. We were served by a young man called Fabrizio and another gent who’s name we did not get and they were both great. Try the rib eye, its a MUST.

    Quality restaurant. Great food. I am often made to feel odd for liking my steak well done and usually they come cremated but not here. I asked for my steak well done (no pink). When it arrived it was slightly pink but staff were fantastic and remedied the situation without making me feel uncomfortable or destroying the steak. it is really worth it for the quality of the food and friendliness of the staff members. By far the best restaurant we found in London.
