What's your favourite restaurant in London?

[IWannaCrushEm]

Tell me all about it please? Where is it? What cuisine?

What's your favourite dish? Is the service amazing?

Mine is Veeraswamy. They do amazing Indian food. I like the lamb biryani.

Brasserie Zedel - it’s a French brasserie style restaurant at Piccadilly Circus. I also love the American Bar attached to it.

We keep going back to Tokyo Diner, it's the nearest thing to a real Japanese restaurant like you'd go out to just for a meal in Japan - the bento boxes are great, food is fab..and it's a great atmosphere. And really priced OK for where it is!

Also love Viet - it's maybe not the best Vietnamese food, but it's a great location, the food is good, you can get a table without queuing too long. I just like it.

I love Vietnamese food

I love the Wolseley. It’s a beautiful room. The service is excellent. It’s been a while but I liked the chicken soup with a salt beef sandwich.

Also Rules for the game. We had quail on toast and jugged hare.

Ivy Asia. The food is amazing. And Dishoom for Indian food 😋

Forza Wine - I love it there, great food, views and great atmosphere.

Love Veeraswamy and Zedel, both great places.

Noble Rot (either at Lamb's Conduit for a peaceful lunch or the Soho Square one for something a bit livelier) is hard to beat. It's probably my easy go-to but always worth it.

The Quality Chop House is wonderful for meat lovers, and very atmospheric. The private dining room is great, fabulous food and service. The potatoes are to die for...

Andrew Edmunds is lovely, again very good on atmosphere.

Lots of places I really enjoyed have shut down! Le Gavroche, Mere, Anglo.

French House, Dean Street soho for food, vibe, and it’s just so gorgeous
Brasserie Zedel old school charm and amazing aesthetic. Top food
Hakkasan modern Chinese food

chains
i like Wagamama, Dishoom

Pubs
Ye olde cheddar cheese

The porthouse on the strand. Lovely tapas, great service, atmospheric.

Quo Vardis is Soho.

Though my favourite ever restaurant shut after Covid, Sardine between Old St and Angel.

Secoming Dishoom!

I'm traditional and love Rules.

Dishoom I've been to many times. I want to try other Indian restaurants of that level or even better

I absolutely love The Wigmore (attached to The Langham Hotel).

Another vote for Brasserie Zedel. Great place.

My personal favourite is China Tang at the Dorchester. Just yummy food and beautiful surroundings.

Also Wiltons on Jermyn Street, a very smart and old school place. Could only be in London.

Ivy Asia at St Paul's (I'm sure the others are just as good).

Tavolo between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Elevated Italian and great views.

Bocca di Lupo or Yauatcha.

Just asking all you sophisticated London types because it seems to be all over my social media:

"What's the hype about Fallow?"

I don't think I'd really want to eat twelve year dairy cow or a cod fish head with siracha sauce but maybe I'm missing something.

I don't even live in the UK anymore but help out somebody in exile as it were.

La Chappell by Galvin.

Amazing food for price.

Fallow ain’t all that. Hyped, for sure. The food is good enough but not worthy of the stellar hype

Tamil prince, Tamil king , Colonel Saab, Gladstone arms

Been to all except Gladstone arms

Spendy: Scotts, Sheekeys, Andrew Edmunds

unspendy: Addies Thai in Earl's Court

Roka.

Whoever said Hakkasan, I completely agree.
I like the Hanway Place one. It’s in an unattractive subterranean location but the food is amazing. Fixed price menus are good. There are other locations but I haven’t been.

It’s not fashionable at all but I have always had lovely food at the OXO Tower restaurant (the higher up one, I’ve not been to the brasserie). Solid European cuisine, nothing fancy, great cheese and desert trolleys. It’s always full of regulars, whenever I’ve been at lunch (not recently though - I can’t afford it these days :( )
