Travel Europe: Eating Out In London

Tags:
@ 07:04 AM (19 months, 8 days ago)
London is without doubt the restaurant capital of the UK.
Immigrants of all nationalities have brought their own exotic
flavours and culinary culture to the city, making London an
exciting and cosmopolitan place to eat out. Here’s a guide to
some of the best restaurants area by area.

Covent Garden

Covent Garden is an attractive area with a covered piazza
complex at its centre. It’s popular with tourists but can be
pricey. If you’re looking for an inexpensive meal in this area
your best bet is to try out some of the large bar/restaurants
such as Wagamama and All Bar One, where you’ll find reasonable
quality food in stylish surroundings at affordable prices.

If you want to experience a traditional London restaurant, try
Rules on Maiden Lane. It’s rather expensive but it’s worth it.
Reputed to be the oldest restaurant in London, it has a
beautiful vintage interior and serves old London favourites,
from oysters and eels to pies and puddings.

Another famed London restaurant and popular hang-out of the
rich and famous is The Ivy on West Street. You’ll need to book
a table weeks in advance to savour its wonderful modern and
luxurious British cuisine – shepherd’s pie, leek tart, kedgeree
and the deliciously decadent sticky toffee pudding.

South Bank

Urban redevelopment has seen lots of ‘gastro-pubs’ pop up in
this area – chic and trendy bars serving high quality food in
informal surroundings and at reasonable prices.

For fabulous modern European cuisine, try Festival Square on
the ground floor of the Royal Festival Hall. It’s a relaxing
café-bar serving everything from light snacks to filling main
course dishes.

Another popular gastro-pub is the award winning Anchor and Hope
on The Cut. In contrast to many of the bars in this area, its
décor is traditional, with oak panelled walls, but its food is
most definitely up-to-date. Try the beetroot and goat’s cheese
salad or the lamb shank with minted beans.

Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury is home to many of London’s top academic
institutions such as University of London, University College
London, Birkbeck College and the British Museum. It’s always
bustling with students and as a result there’s a great choice
of good but cheap café-bars and brasseries as well as some more
upmarket restaurants.

The Coffee Gallery on Museum Street, next to the British
Museum, has an eclectic range of organic and vegetarian dishes,
from sandwiches to salads and pastas.

One of the best ethnic eateries in the city is Hakkasan,
London’s first Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant. It’s chic
and sophisticated, with inventive dishes and a fashionable
cocktail bar.

Knightsbridge and Chelsea

Two of the most fashionable and exclusive parts of London,
Knightsbridge and Chelsea are dotted with upmarket and
Michelin-starred restaurants.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has London’s only restaurant with
three Michelin Stars. Named simply Gordon Ramsay, it’s on Royal
Hospital Road near Chelsea Embankment.

Founded in the 1950s, the Troubadour on Old Brompton Road is an
eclectic café-bar with a prestigious live music heritage. Bob
Dylan, Charlie Watts and Jimi Hendrix are among the stars who
have performed here. The epitome of London bohemia, this West
London institution has a deli, club and café, and it’s great
place to hang out for food, drinks and music.

Camden

Camden is young, hip and trendy and there’s nowhere better in
London for a lively night out. There are restaurants of all
sorts interspersed between vibrant bars and clubs.

For excellent French cuisine, try Le Petit Train on Chalcot
Road, or Belgo Noord on Chalk Farm Road for hearty Belgian
cooking and great beer. The best tapas can be enjoyed at the
Spanish themed Bar Gansa on Inverness street.

Soho/Chinatown

Soho is probably one of the best places to eat out in London in
terms of quality and value for money. Most of the restaurants
offer fabulous cooking at reasonable prices, especially in
Chinatown, where there are some great Szechuan, Thai,
Cantonese, Japanese, Indonesian and Vietnamese restaurants. Try
Imperial China Cantonese restaurant on Lisle Street, Kulu Kulu
Japanese restaurant on Brewer Street, Busaba Eathai Thai
restaurant on Wardour Street or Saigon Vietnamese restaurant on
Frith Street.

Brick Lane

London’s large Asian population is concentrated in the East
End, especially around Brick Lane. Lined with Indian and
Bangladeshi restaurants, it’s earned the nickname the ‘Curry
Mile’. Monsoon is one of the hippest modern Indian restaurants,
with contemporary Tandoori dishes as its speciality, whereas
Sweet and Spicy gets back to basics, serving top-notch Indian
food in modest surroundings. One of the most stylish Bengali
restaurants is Café Naz, a sleek café-bar with modern wood and
steel décor and atmospheric lighting. Its fish and seafood
dishes are delicious. Preem is another good Bengali restaurant
with a fantastic range of balti dishes.

Islington

Once a run-down residential area, this inner-city suburb in the
north of London has been given a new lease of life in the last
few decades. The beautiful Victorian townhouses have been
renovated and it’s now a trendy and fashionable part of London
with an air of bohemian chic. The restaurants are a varied mix
of stylish and quirky. The Elk in the Woods, for example, is
reminiscent of an old lady’s living room. It’s a small and cosy
place on the lovely cobbled Camden Passage. Just like the décor,
the food is inventive and unusual – with a modern European
influence. Flaming Nora is a great burger restaurant and
takeaway, but it’s not a typical fast food joint. The burgers
are all made from the freshest, highest quality meat and fish,
chargrilled to perfection. Aberdeen Angus, lamb and tuna
burgers are the specialities, and it also does a great line in
skewers and kebabs.
