Have a fiesta This month, Canary Wharf’s vibrant Mexican restaurant Wahaca adds new specials to its market-style menu. These include the lamb taquito, slowcooked British lamb marinated in ancho chilli and rolled in a crispy, fried tortilla; and our favourite, the poblano taco, a crisp breaded poblano pepper, grown especially for Wahaca by Riverford Organic, topped with tomatillo and fresh tomato salsa. This month’s tacos feature alongside Wahaca classics such as Devon crab, shrimp taquitos and pork pibil tacos. Enjoy with a Margarita, or one – or two – featuring the new Mezcal & Tonics. Wahaca, Canada Square

Tempting, tempting With the re-opening of its refurbished Canary Wharf store, Charbonnel et Walker launches a range inspired by grand Victorian houses.
