Beneath the office of architect Sir Richard Rogers is the famous restaurant run by his wife Ruth. Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall both trained in the kitchens here.
Small but perfectly formed restaurant serving genuinely imaginative dishes 4 curious eaters. Your FOMO will be realised if you don't try it.
This cosy cocktail cavern is a bar with down-to-earth decor, extremely well-crafted cocktails, switched-on staff and good music. Simple, really. Read more.
Go to Garlic and Shots. Have a Blood Shot plus any other shot from their extensive (and delicious) menu.
One of the best hotels in London. Good value and they do not try to rip you off for items in room, wifi or breakfast. Steaks are fantastic if you have an evening meal! Highly recommended! Read more.
The epitome of how the east end has fallen. Annoying students, pretentious regulars, nice terrace but full of the worst type of people. Avoid.
Lovely new spot from the Happiness Forgets crew. A bit more relaxed than their Hoxton home, with a vintage North American feel. Great cocktails, good beer list and pool tables. My new favourite local.
The best duck confit I have ever had. The chocloate mousse is also amazing - served from a huge bowl; see picture below:
Authentic Nepali food and ingredients. Get the momos (Nepali dumplings). Curries have nice, thick gravy and plenty of meat & veg.
Have an espresso that will change your life and ruin you for all other coffee forever. Un-be-lievable.
Dishoom feels like a walk-in sepia photograph. It also serves terrific food, like a delicately flavored berry pulao, the tart Parsi-style biryani. More of London’s best food: http://tandl.me/XAVcNk
Being from Mexico City myself, this place took me back in time when I was younger and went for dinner after a night out with my mates. This is authentic Mexico's City cuisine
Koya Bar is now the only place you can get Koya's amazing curry udon, so it would be rude to order anything else. Wash it down with tea and or/hot sake.
The roof terrace is perfect for summer cocktails, but only those in the know ask for the hidden 3rd terrace where you can relax without the DJ!
Best food and service. Ask for Pedro the GM. Very hot Thursday night. Lot's of Louboutins! Hot legs!
The widely adored Stevie Parle of Dock Kitchen (and formerly the River Café) has put together a tight, edgy Italian menu of what Jonathan [Downey] calls “small plates that aren’t for sharing”. Read more.
Beautiful place with good selection of wine,ales and beers. Fantastic dining upstairs (scotch egg was amazing!), toilets are spotless and I love the 20s music in the background!Will definitely be back
Good fresh fish, well-made sushi, well-cut sashimi. Follow up with excellent tempura. The combination "sushi" and "Mayfair" doesn't usually shout bargain, but manages to avoid being wildly expensive. Read more.
Gorgeous East Asian cuisine. Get the chargrilled shell on prawns, crispy quail, slow roasted pork and burnt egg plant salad, and finish with a pan of warm sago pudding.
London's foremost private members club favored by the intellectual and artsy set includes three bars, two restaurants, meeting spaces and a plush billiards room. Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer
This self-aware clash of ironic religious iconography and grease-sodden soul food is challenging my preconceptions of what my digestive tract is capable of withstanding and I'm loving it.
One of the best places for seafood in London, in my opinion. Try the seafood platter (adding a lobster!). The look and feel is Paris like, the atmosphere is as vibrant as only London could be.
