london restaurants

[spots25]

can anyone recommend a few good restaurants in london?

[SteveH2508]

There are thousands - narrow it down a bit and we might be able to help.

 

What price, type of cuisine and location for starters.

[RonLankshear]

Try some very authentic London food

 

Tube to Shepherds Bush

Come out Goldhawk Road and back up the road just a bit is

ψ Cookes Pie And Mash Shop London Restaurant, Goldhawk Road

Mash Potato and White Sauce on a Pie

I was born nearby - there used to be a chain across London - there are other Pie Shops look at index on that site....

 

ψ restaurants in London called 'cock tavern' - London Restaurant Guide - LondonEats.com

perhaps go for Breakfast with black pudding

 

St. John Bread & Wine

 

ψ The Dorchester Grill Room London Restaurant, Hyde Park Corner

 

Plenty of Fish and Chips shops

 

And a CURRY somewhere

For something a bit different - you could try the Medievil Banquet. That is a great night - King Henry etc - minstrels - wenches - jesters - Anne Bolyn - the whole box and dice. It is near Tower Bridge - sorry I can't be more specific - someone else might know the exact spot - but it is a superb night out with a difference - and though I can't remember the exact cost - it wasn't expensive. You get beer in jugs - wine in caraffe's - rip bread apart and dip it in soup - cold meat platter - just good old english fayre. Plenty of old English songs - everything like that, just great. We saw the advert for it in a brochure that we picked up in the train station. You need to book - but a great night. You can even hire a costume at he venue if you wish.

As a complete opposite to the Banquet above, a very "serious" old world restaurant is Rules - pricy but very English! It bills itseld as London's Oldest restaurant. Located just a block off the Strand its a good location for most theaters. http://www.rules.co.uk/

 

If you like Thai food, The Blue Elephant is my favorite - great food in a lovely setting. Easy metro ride a just about 2/3 block walk or major buses pass by. http://www.blueelephant.com/london/

 

London's Chinatown is small but lots of good late night places - also all day!! Can't recommend any specific place but it area is near theaters and most are open late so very convenient.

 

And you must just stop on a pub for real "pub grub" - especially if this is your first time in London!!! Don't miss the Fish 'n Chips or Ploughman's Platter (think that's the name) or meat pies.

 

WOW I'm gettign hungry just writing this - have a great trip!!!!!

St Katherines Dock - nearest tube is Tower Hill or alternatively Tower River Boat stop or Tower Gateway on the DLR. Also at St Katherines Dock is the Dickens Inn - great mega-sized pizzas on a budget!

We did some of these and thay were great....

[Mooloo]

Which ones did you do?

[truffles68]

On our recent trip to London (post cruise) we ate at Dinner by Heston in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Both the food & service were excellent.

I second the Blue Elephant. The restaurant is beautiful and food is to die for =)
