Israeli Restaurant · Southwark · 34 tips and reviews
Chris Evans: Defiantly go for the hummus and oxtail - it was so good we got it twice. Make sure you ask for extra (free) pittas with it too. Wouldn't recommend the salmon - bland and slightly overlooked.
Cantonese Restaurant · Brixton · 4 tips and reviews
Javier Domínguez Muñoz: Delicious food with a twist! Amazing space in Pop Brixton with top chef from London/Hong Kong serving an original twist on Cantonese cuisine. A must try!

Pizzeria · Clissold · 31 tips and reviews
Fabien Butazzi: The oldest pizzeria in Naples just opened its second branch in London! Pizza is amazing!!! You can skip the dessert though, but oh that pizza...
Hsiu: The aged beef bolognese with corzetti is amazing - personally recommended to us by Jason Atherton. If you're lucky enough, you might just get to meet this amazing chef- so friendly and humble! 😍
Ben Robinson: The whole menu is awesome...I've sampled it all. Both cold noodle dishes are killer as is the short rib, aubergine, daikon, tomatoes...if you like desert you'll die for the chocolate tempura...
Scandinavian Restaurant · City of Westminster · 10 tips and reviews
Chris Evans: Food was great here, in particular the starters, I loved the salmon. However wasn't a fan of the two desserts we picked. The place was decorated amazingly, and the staff were the nicest I have met.
Modern European Restaurant · City of Westminster · 3 tips and reviews
Monkey Grinder: Great, interesting, tasty small plates designed for sharing. I just wish the menu had more dishes to try as they are almost all great. Kudos to the chef.
Chinese Restaurant · Chinatown · 35 tips and reviews
Cugino Di Vendramin: bun house is the real deal, trust me. their buns are amazing. I'm deeply in love with chocolate bun, custard egg bun, chicken bun and their "fries" (spoiler alert: not made from potatoes at all)
Restaurant · Lewisham Central · 10 tips and reviews
Jon Choo: Run by a husband wife team with experiences in St John's, Bao and Pollen Street Social, Sparrow's menu was incredibly inventive with interesting flavours.
David Thair: On-trend 'healthy' breakfast and lunches on weekdays, brunch on the weekend. Loads of dairy and gluten-free options. It's also a juice bar and bakery.
Japanese Restaurant · Piccadilly · 22 tips and reviews
Anne M: A great atmosphere with great food and friendly staff. The menu is simple but scrumptious. The matcha desserts on a lovely summer's day were a great treat.
Tyler Durden: Amazing street food and pizza. Stylish restaurant with high attention for details. Tasty authentic Italian beers. The wheat one is something special. Absolutely recommended!
James Greenfield: The perfect simple menu and portion size makes this instantly Herne Hill's best restaurant. Reasonably priced and knowledgeable staff compliment the great food.
Ralph Mallett: Burgers were pretty good - on a par with Byron. The chips while perfectly acceptable were nothing special despite the hype. No better than you'd get from a decent chippy
Paul Gallagher: Really friendly and prompt service. Happy hour mid-week pre-7pm, £5 cocktails. The beef, brisket & mac'n'cheese burger was tasty but not mindblowing. The fries had a nice seasoning.
English Restaurant · City of Westminster · 11 tips and reviews
Lillian Paschalidi: The best meat I've eaten in London!Try the ribs (which is more like pieces of high quality meat melting in your mouth)! Sauces served are excellent!17 years old waiter was so polite&professional too!
English Restaurant · Piccadilly · 23 tips and reviews
Dorothy Jean Chang: The puy lentil dish is the best lentil dish I've ever had, can't miss. Obviously everything duck, but especially the creme brûlée and the triple-ducker burger. Great ambiance, lively fun yet casual.
Indian Restaurant · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 7 tips and reviews
Martina Prosperetti: It's actually an Himalaian Chinese Nepalese restaurant from the same owners of the nearby Gunpowder. Delicious food, a bit spicy! Recommended!
Laura Bedson-Duque: Chicken royale is the signature dish which is a must. Great to share between two people and no need to go for starters as there's plenty of food! There's live music as well so the atmosphere is fab.
Sebastien M: Nice hotel and rooftop. Rooms a bit small and be careful not to get a room above the courtyard, at night you can hear the club members all too clearly. The bar is filled with all kinds of Tequilas.
Dave Batten: Perfectly sized dinner tasting menu. From the same stable as Anglo, and whilst a different concept the quality is there. Fresh, vibrant ingredients, carefully prepared. Interesting wine list.
Indian Restaurant · Bishopsgate · 2 tips and reviews
Heena Karani: Big portions for lunch & the prices reflect this. I went for the paneer bowl & struggled to eat it all. Not a fan of the cabbage with paneer.
Peter Brick: Amazing food, and a great £25 five course degustation for the new October menu. Staff make the meal that much better with great service, smiles and cheerful banter!
Thunder Cat: The cheese and charcuterie boards are great value for money, and you can order fine wines by the glass thanks to Coravin. A great addition to Crystal Palace's bar / restaurant scene.
Cocktail Bar · Bethnal Green North · 14 tips and reviews
Emily-jane: The menu is really interesting and well done, would be great if the decor reflected it. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Unique cocktails and twists on the classics, all delicious!!
Two Boots and a Farwa: AMAZING experience, food & atmosphere were great & the owner is the nicest lady ever. Everything we tried on the menu was yum but our favorite dish was the goat curry and the zaffran kheer. SO GOOD.
Seafood Restaurant · City of Westminster · 19 tips and reviews
Rachel Evans: There’s a whole menu of different types of oysters. I tried a Maldonado Kumamoto; it was delicious. The chocolate mousse dessert was beautifully presented and utterly scrumptious.
Sajid Nawaz Khan: Great service, but food is mediocre at best. Fries overdone, and chicken wings are dry and taste peculiar. Sauce tubs are too small. Go KFC instead for half the price and tastier food.
Constance | @croostifoodi: A large selection of quality Asian food stalls. The venue is spacious, bright and clean. Eating there is a real pleasure. Only downside is that it's quite remote from the centre of London.
Clarita Gordita: Loved the food, the staff and how intimate the restaurant is so you can watch the chefs at work. Highly recommend especially the Butterfish Carpaccio!Delicious!
Wes Tomlinson: Loads of creative variations on classic cocktails. Brunch here is the real star, try the coconut pancakes with caramelized bananas. Also the service was outstanding, our aussie host was the best.
Lewis T: Great small dumpling joint - go for the selection (£6 for 5). The mushroom and truffle oil won for taste. However the side salads stole the show - very fresh and fantastic accompaniments. Try them all
Chinese Restaurant · Leicester Square · 20 tips and reviews
iSponsor: Almost as good as the one in Fashion Island in the OC in California... the portions are smaller but the taste is the same great kind! The lettuce wrap is to die for! Great service too!
Heena Karani: Eclectic dishes with lots of different flavours. Good options for vegetarians- loved the fried feta, chick pea salad & the aubergine miso dish. Also try the hot sauce! Not your typical indian
Coffee Shop · Holborn and Covent Garden · 25 tips and reviews
Matt Elphick: Harissa Chicken Sandwich was delicious. Sausage roll was good but not incredible (especially for more than £3). I "liked" the place but didn't "love" it!
Indian Restaurant · Spitalfields and Banglatown · 5 tips and reviews
Sherrie Bale: Once again these guys place absolute magic in my mouth. The yam and paneer kofta chaat is a must as well as the potted pigs head. I'm beyond excited to work my way through this menu. Thank you.

Sri Lankan Restaurant · Marylebone · 43 tips and reviews
S P: As good, if not better than the Soho original, brighter, more spacious/comfortable with great food and service. Another winner from the group and especially Karan. A must try!
88 Shaftesbury Ave (Macclesfield St), London, Greater London
Korean BBQ Restaurant · Chinatown · 12 tips and reviews
Amy Y: High quality Korean BBQ in central London. Fair price given niceness of restaurant and location. Really enjoyed kimchi pancake, toppoki, and dumplings as well. Only downside is that kimchi is extra!
214 Bermondsey St (Long Ln), London, Greater London
Italian Restaurant · Bermondsey · 26 tips and reviews
Tony Muraki-Hart: The small plates are very nice, with the endive, pear and blue cheese being the favourite. Pasta was delicious, esp the Gigli one with the sausage.
egolya: Just reopened after a renovation, entirely done by the independent pubs team of four. Came out really cozy, friendly and stylish. Please visit to help their effort pay off :)
Mike LeBeau: As a Californian, this is the first Mexican I've had in London that seemed like real tacos to me - really delicious, and outstanding service from Mani. Will be back!
Maverick Pettit-Taylor: The Coffee Shop on the ground floor has a diverse offering and some great reading materials. Mags like Monocle, Cereal and Gourmand.
97 Curtain Rd (Great Eastern St), London, Greater London
Modern European Restaurant · Shoreditch · 4 tips and reviews
Hannah Parvaz: Tiny plates packing big flavours. The wasabi noodles are vegan and delicious. Maybe a touch too expensive for the portion sizes to head there again soon, but would go back for the wine.
Daren Williams: Tasty selection of BBQ meats on sharing plates - short menu, large venue, good wine. Order 200-300g per person - definitely try the short ribs, (truffle) chips, and brownie.
Udon Restaurant · City of London · 19 tips and reviews
Angela Liu: Being a koya fan, i couldnt be happier for this new koya. This is a way bigger and nicer place than koya soho but it doesnt offer the homey japanese vibe than koya soho does and food not as good too

English Restaurant · 22 tips and reviews
