As first reported by Marshall Manson’s Professional Lunch Substack, Google is still listing the Wood Wharf restaurant as open, but its booking system is offline and local workers report that it is no longer trading.
The future of its sister restaurant below, the Aegean-themed Horvada, is also unclear, with no online booking available either. Neither restaurant is answering the phone.
Horvada’s Rupert Street site ceased trading last year after giving over half its space to David Thompson’s Long Chim pop-up, which is also now closed.
Marceline and Horvada Canary Wharf were launched by chef-restaurateur Hus Vedat in the summer of 2024.
Overseen by designers Hurlé & Martín, Marceline’s interiors feature double-height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and brass mirrors reminiscent of Parisian brasseries, complemented by modern banquette seating, sculptural light fixtures and soft leathers.
The restaurant is a large space, capable of accommodating more than 100 covers across its two-storey dining room, with additional seating available on the terrace.
Split primarily between hors d’oeuvres and entrées, the à la carte menu included contemporary takes on French favourites such as steak tartare with hazelnuts, watercress, mint and artichoke chips; warm cheese soufflé with Gruyère cream and truffle; and ravioli dauphiné, featuring a sheet of ravioli filled with Comté and crème fraîche, served uncut in a brown butter sauce .
Larger dishes included a grilled merguez sandwich with Ossau-Iraty and harissa mayonnaise; rotisserie chicken; and wild mushroom vol-au-vent. Desserts ranged from crème caramel to apple tarte fine.
Positioned as an all-day restaurant, Marceline also served a weekday breakfast menu featuring dishes such as an omelette with wild mushroom, Boursin and spinach, and eggs royale. A broader brunch offering, combining dishes from the breakfast and à la carte menus, was available at weekends.
