Just Down the River from Wapping
We know Wapping is brilliant for its quiet cobbled streets and old riverside pubs. But sometimes, you want something with a bit more life, heat, and flavour. That’s where Chicome fits in perfectly.
We’re just a short walk along the Thames in St Katharine Docks. Think of us as your refined local spot for authentic Mexican food. We’ve taken the bold spices of Mexico and mixed them with a touch of Spanish and Peruvian influence. It’s exactly what you need when you fancy a really good meal without the hassle of trekking into Central London.
Why It’s Worth the Walk
- A Lovely Walk: The stroll from Wapping along the Thames Path is easily one of the nicest in London. You’ll be with us in 10-15 minutes.
- Something Different: We’re not a pub or a big chain. We’re an independent restaurant doing something genuinely unique with Mexican flavours.
- Real Food: Our Head Chef has a serious background in Michelin kitchens, so he cares about quality. You’ll taste it in our slow-cooked meats and fresh salsas.
- Great Drinks: Fancy a proper Margarita or a rare Mezcal? Our bar is stocked with the good stuff you won't find just anywhere.
- Everyone’s Sorted: Whether you’re Vegetarian, Vegan, or Gluten-Free, you won’t be stuck with just one token option on the menu.

Pan-fried hake with a creamy coconut and amarillo chilli salsa. Fresh, light, and full of flavour.
