Really good and authentic budget Chinese fast food. Sit down lunch for about a tenner, and you're in and out in less than 45 minutes
Head down the stairs, take a seat and lose track of time in the dark candle lit cellar. If cheese and wine is your thing then you’ll love Gordon’s. Read more.
Best roasted duck in the world, they said. Take circle or district line to Bayswater station. It's worth it! Trust me!
Awesome London branch of the Milan bakery. Pretty much everything is yummy, best to come during the day when you have a chance of being able to get a seat. Always lots of Italians, a good sign surely.
Chicken is juicy and tender (hot sauce not that hot). Recommend chips (properly crispy!) and avo salad as sides. Apple pie is a must have - love how its served with a spoon straight from the tray :)
Highlights: yum bun, banh mi, burritos. Actually, everything is good. Great recent addition: daisy green frozen yoghurt. Check twitter for their schedule!
Check Kerbfood.com for the roster of the streetcars traders that are here every Thursday
Best dish = fish fragrant aubergines (鱼香茄子). The fish reference is re the combination of spices, there is actually no fish in the dish. Highly recommended!
The food is cheery, with usual suspect pad thais and curries, but it's the interesting ingredients that put it above the norm: venison, scallops, soft-shell crab. Metro gave it 4 out of 5 Stars. Read more.
chip shops may be a ubiquitous London venue, but some are a little bit of the old-school. Fryer's Delight has nothing more than the basics, but they do it well. Share a booth with strangers and eat.
Try the fine fish finger butty with sustainable haddock, twice-cooked chips and a side salad (fennel and dill is in season at the moment). Good, as the batter is crisp and not too floury. Read more.
From a design perspective, this might be the coolest restaurant in Ealing! Love, love, love. Appreciate the experience.

You could look inside this place and think it’s been around for a century, but in fact it only opened as a restaurant in 2003. Breakfasts here are a firm favorite among London’s movers and shakers. Read more.
I am really far too fond of this place! Caramel & Fig and salted caramel are my favs. At the moment...
This was a perfect spot for a Soho lunch, delicious meatballs and tons of other dishes to try.
Gorgeous Italian tapas. You'll need 2-3 small plates each. Cuttlefish risotto is highly, highly recommended.
You can get a great meal here without breaking the bank, with starters from £2.25, wine from £3 a glass, and the delicious onglet (aka hangar steak) for just £10.95. Read more.
Duck (and foie gras) Burger Deluxe is a must apparently — http://www.burgerac.com/2012/07/comptoir-gascon-duck-burger-deluxe.html
Camden Market actually refers to the several markets that cover the northern end of Camden Town. Each market has a character of its own. Read more.
Simple and delicious sourdough pizza. People travel from all over London for this one..
One of London's best pizzerias, and cheaper than Pizza Express, in the mammoth mall at Stratford, the main Olympic Park transit hub. Read more.
With their wood-fired oven, they fire up very good (and very generously sized) pizzas: the Saporita had a perfect light base, spot-on tomato and pools of almost liquid buffalo mozzarella. Read more.
Someone on Twitter told me the grilled cheese guy everyone's talking about got banned (!!), but if you can find him please leave a tip. In the meantime, bratwursts are pretty good.
