The Elgin - Maida Vale is keeping you fed from brekkie through to dinner, with a seasonally changing list of local draught beers to wash it all down with. Whether you fancy chorizo hash with a soft duck egg or roast aubergine with whipped feta, it's bound to be a lip-smacking treat.

Craft beer house Union Tavern is a hubbub of activity for drinkers and diners, sitting on the canal front. Fronting Southern-fried vegan burgers, classic steak pies and even sticky toffee pud, this one's packed with crowd-pleasing plates of nosh.

With a beautiful cellar for private dining and plenty of cosy nooks to hunker down in, The Prince Alfred is a whole lot more than your average boozer. From its Victorian interiors to Sunday roasts and other seasonal British grub served from the bustling open kitchen, this is one of the best Maida Vale restaurants.

Fusing British and French cuisine is one of our favourite Maida Vale pubs, The Hero of Maida, all under the guidance of former Racine chef Henry Harris. With a choice of slow-cooked lamb shoulder or cheesy gnocchi heading up the menu, veggies and meat mad diners alike will be drooling.

You won't be short of piled-high plates of roast dinner or brunch at The Bridge House, making it a top pick of restaurants in Maida Vale's Little Venice. Better yet, you can pop upstairs to the Canal Café Theatre after your meal to catch a show or a comedy night.

If you're hunting for Maida Vale restaurants on the canal, The Waterway has you covered with plates of tasty European fare. Topping it off? It boasts cosy fireplaces and a private igloo in the winter, while summer offers up beautiful alfresco dining thanks to the waterfront terrace.
