Updated 09 November 2023
Dining in the British capital holds no bounds when it comes to what type of cuisine is offered, budget, or atmosphere people are looking for. From food trucks to fine dining, London offers an almost limitless amount of options, and different neighborhoods in the city offer their own local flair and culinary experiences. With so much to offer, London’s restaurant scene is better to navigate by neighborhood. From the best in fine dining in the Marylebone neighborhood to the culturally celebrated Brixton. People can choose from outdoor cafes for long afternoon brunches, upscale Michelin star restaurants for special nights, or, when craving a truly unique culinary experience, dog-friendly food truck parks and small family-owned pubs and restaurants.

Lovely dining experience. Surprisingly informal yet chilled, and enjoyable. There were 2 tasting menus - the standard and the prestige. We chose the standard. Without the supplement of truffle linguine. You start with an amuse bouche trio of lobster and langoustine, pulled beef and one of chickpea Seasoning spot on It looked wonderful First course was a spring dish of garden peas and asparagus custard. Refreshing and sweet but fresh. First course of jersey royals with cheese foam and asparagus. Its wonderful, cheese was savoury. Potatoes were sliced soft and delicious. A great start Course 2 was ravioli of lobster and langoustine with a sauce American (like a lobster bisque). It was luxurious and sweet - tasted of the sea with a hint of the med. The next course was the turbot. The fish flaked beautifully but was perhaps not my fav. Nothing wrong but it ranked below the others. The white asparagus was excellent but perhaps difficult to cut; didnt get given a knife perhaps nxt time we need more than just spoon and fork. The showcase was the hogget. Every mouthful of the confit meat you got flavour. It was divine. The dish of the day! There was a hiccup in that my sausage had a tiny bit of bone. They were apologetic and so offered complimentary cheese to us which we gleefully accepted. The first desert was a sorbet of rhubarb with a vanilla custard. It was stunning to the eye. The final desert was pecan praline - the desert wine as part of the pairing was aged and v sweep and we were worried would this be a sugar overload. The desert was outstanding and not overtly sweet but still luxurious. You got a sense of coffee, cocoa nib and almond. Total cost incl service came to £500 per head. It incl the wine pairing. Food was excellent. Its one to tick off. In my top 2 of all time and ive dined at Alain Ducasse, Sketch, Dinner amongst others.

Wimbledon
This small neighborhood restaurant with white linen tables and leatherback booths feels casual yet intimate with wooden artwork from Thailand adorning the walls. Get traditional Thai curry dishes like Penang, Massuman, or jungle red curry with your desired meat, seafood or vegetable option. As any Thai person would say, make sure to get the famous Som Tam salad to accompany the entrees. The vibrant Thai food coming out of Thai Tho’s kitchen can also be ordered for catering purposes.

On a hot summer day or the dead of winter, since 2021, the Garden inside the Corinthia Hotel leaves the bustle of the city behind. Enjoy the sun during a summer lunch or cozy up with blankets next to the heaters and fireplace for a cool evening dinner. Comfortable red cushioned chairs and garlands draped everywhere make it a perfect spot for the extensive wine list and cigar collection available. Enjoy Mediterranean cuisine with a twist like Roasted Sea Bass, Lobster Linguine, or Oven roasted lamb chop.

We had an absolutely excellent lunch. Service was friendly, warm and highly attentive but not overbearing. Probably not a kids restaurant but the team were simply lovely with my 6 year old daughter. Superb food. Impressive. We’ll be back!

Fitzrovia
The exposed brick and well-thought-out lighting give this two story neighborhood bar and restaurant an intimate and comfortable atmosphere. The downstairs is lively and a place for drinks and walk-ins without reservations, while the upstairs provides an intimate setting. This restaurant opened in 2016 and is owned by Chef Jun Tanaka, a Japanese-British chef best known for his appearances on popular cooking shows in the UK. The Mediterranean-French inspired menu has offerings like Flamed mackerel, Lamb and truffle, and marinated veal chop.
