what's are some good restaurants in London?

Question

I'm going to London with my husband, and it's our first time.We'd love to go to a few yummy restaurants.

Answer 1

It really depends what your budget is. There are a great many very high quality restaurants in London, and because it is such a cosmopolitan city you can choose from around 150 different national cuisines..so there's something for every taste.

At the very expensive end, there are two popular and hip restaurants (famous stars are always being pictured leaving these places) called The Ivy and Nobu. The Ivy serves traditional British food, and Nobu is Japanese, but both are very difficult to get a table at unless you book a long way in advance.

But if you tastes are not quite so extravagant, or your budget not so bottomless, you will be spoilt for choice. First ,buy Time Out's Restaurant Guide (or just sneak a read of it at a bookshop!) This is annually updated ( which is important in London, where ownership of restaurants tends to change regularly, effecting food quality and service) and is a reliable guide to the very wide range of restaurants.

Also, give yourself a treat one morning and have a traditional English fry-up for breakfast at the type of small, cheap cafe traditionally known as a "greasy spoon"..not too healthy but ultra-delicious!

Answer 2

Here is the list of what is the best restaurants in London



The Fat Duck, Bray, Berkshire ( This place is considered the best in Britain)
This is the place that does bacon-and-egg ice cream, snail porridge and sardine-on-toast sorbet. So you can safely say you’ve never had a meal like it. Run by chef Heston Blumenthal since it opened in 1995, it already has three Michelin stars under its belt. The spectacular eight-course tasting menu costs $225.

Bookings: Reserve two weeks in advance for weekdays and at least a month ahead for weekends.

Where to stay: Make a gastronomic weekend of it and stay at the Michelin-starred nine-room Waterside Inn.





Gordon Ramsay, London
Tom Aikens, London
St John, London
Sketch (Gallery), London
The Waterside Inn, Bray
Nobu, London
The Connaught, London
Hakkasan, London
The Wolseley, London
Yauatcha, London
The Ivy, London
Le Gavroche, London
The River Side Cafe

Answer 3

It depends what you like. Here are some suggestions from what I did during my week in London:

Itsu!- a chain of Japanese fast food- ish restaurants that serve fresh sushi and some hot soups and noodles as well as some fresh deserts. Perfect for a quick/inexpensive bites. Has several locations that are hip and modern.

Wagamama- similar to Itsu! but is famous for noodles.

Convent Garden- a really fun shopping area that has great boutiques and plenty of restaurants. I found a place called Mongollian BBQ which was a make your own all you can eat stir-fry.

Mayfair- more upscale restaurants like The Wolsley at the Ritz and other fancy places on the roads off of Picadilly, parallel to Bond Street

Belgravia- another area with nice restaurants. Try Noura for great Lebanese cuisine (mezze dishes...)

The City- area with lots of bars and clubs and some interesting restaurants. Try the Real Greek for Greek food.

Harrods- has a great/impressive food hall where you can try almost anything.

Marks and Spencers- an upscale supermarket with delicious pre-made foods you can buy and take with you to the park.

Answer 4

What sort of food do you like? The last great meal we had here was at a big Lebanese restaurant on Baker St, a block or two south of Marylebone Rd. If you like fondues there is only one Swiss restaurant, with a cute Alpine decor, on Wardour St in the Est End. There is a restaurant on top of the National Portrait Gallery with a fine view towards parliament, and I'm sure the food is good.

Answer 5

well.. hit the hotspots, such as chinatown (for chinese) and brick lane (for a curry).

If you wander around chinatown, (leicester square, and then on a bit) there's this restaurant called Crispy Duck, and they have 100 year old egg and my dad loves that for some craaazy reason. but it's not a beautiful place, but most of the customers appear to be chinese, and that's always a good sign.. if you want chinese food.

my other favourite places are all in zones 2 and 3 and they're like, out of the way and there's nothing nearby to look at. There are some cool places around Angel/Highbury and Islington, though. You gotta go to a greasy spoon for breakfast at least one day.. screw the continental breakfast, bring on the black pudding. (I don't actually eat black pudding.. I'm a vegetarian)

On weekends, Ken Livingstone is doing lots and lots of work on the tubes, so check out routes before you travel, cos... *grunts.. mumbles.. bloody tube* http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/
