Contemporary French food in Covent Garden. That the Parisian outpost is nigh-on impossible to get into should tell you everything you need to know about Frenchie, the stellar restaurant from French chef Gregory Marchand. Tucked away in Covent Garden, it’s been quietly establishing itself as serving up some of the best food in London – all with mini...
Steak and seafood in Tower Bridge. The sister restaurant of a Brighton original, Londoners should be thankful that the owners of The Coal Sheddecided to bring their magic to London. Billing itself as a steak and seafood restaurant, this is hands down one of the best places to eat steak in London – a title for which there is stiff competition. Large...
The much-hyped pasta restaurant in London Bridgethat’s well worth the fuss. Padella’sreputation comes before it – a small restaurant in London Bridge that is packed to the rafters night after night. It’s difficult to see how it could possibly live up to the hype… until you go. The pasta, silky but perfectly al dente, is expertly dressed in the most...
Fin-de-siecle decadence in Soho. Bob Bob Ricard(or Bob Bob if you’re in the know) has long been one of our favourite restaurants in Soho. It’s decadent and just the tiniest bit over-the-top, but it pulls it all off with aplomb – hence why we always recommend it as a must-eat in London. Snuggle into one of Bob Bob’s booths – complete with the iconic...
Michelin-starred bites in a swanky setting in Kensington. After sweeping up many a Michelin star, Daniel Galmiche set his sights on 190 Queen’s Gate, to which he brings charm and the wow factor. Hotel restaurants can be hit and miss – they’re often too soulless and stuffy to truly enjoy. Not so with 190 Queen’s Gate at the prestigious Gore Hotel in...
A Farringdonstalwart that still knows how to please. It’s hard to believe that when St John opened in 1994, with Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver at the helm, nose-to-tail eating was most certainly not a thing many British restaurants were doing. It’s easy, looking back to forget just how revolutionary the pair’s approach was and how they chang...
A little slice of Italy by way of Clerkenwell. Seasonal Italian dishes spanning the country’s regions from heel to tip? There’s nothing not to love about the food at Paesan, where Italian street food meets countryside cuisine. It’s right at the tip of foodie paradise Exmouth Marketand serves some of the best eats in London. The light and airy dinin...
London’s original Clerkenwell gastropub is still showing them how it’s done. Our love affair with The Eaglehas been a long-lasting one. The city’s original gastropub opened in 1991 and it’s remained a firm London food favourite in pretty much every local’s little black book of good places to eat in London ever since. Don’t think of a gastropub in t...
Brilliant bao in a Sohojoint but be prepared to queue. Innovative fillings ensconced in fluffy, pillowy bao buns… it’s no wonder that London’s gone crazy forBao. Bao crops up on pretty much every guide to eating out in London out there – meaning that the queues can be ferociously long, even on a drippy mid-week evening in January. Is it worth it? C...
Mexican street food in Soho. Revelling in Soho’s seedy past, there’s no way you’ll miss La Bodega Negraas you make your way along Old Compton Street – it’s the one with the neon lights that read “Peep Show” and “Adult Video” in the window. Kitsch factor aside, there’s a reason why this popular restaurant is always packed to the rafters: it offers t...
