Incredible value, especially the larger dishes. Fish dishes are exceptional, desserts OK but not amazing
The onsen tamago as a topping as opposed to a small dish is great cracked straight into the hot broth. Mega love.
Order the green curry fried rice, and everyone at your table will ask "Oh, what was that?" and make sure they order it themselves the next time.
Order the piggy burger with pulled pork! Drink the old fashioned with chocolate bitters! Burger heaven...
They don't understand a word of English but they understand one thing: how to make sensational, mind-blowing food at totally ridiculous prices. This is a phenomenal restaurant. Go there urgently. Read more.
Lunch time meals offer the best value here, big feed for £10-£14. Vegetables never tasted so good.
Just discovered this tiny little place. It's one of the best spots in London. Every dish is exquisite. The caamari & crayfish are the best. (But then, so's everything else.)
We love the huge dry-aged cote de boeuf, which is just small enough that it leaves room for the liquor-soaked rum baba w/ ultra-rich Creole ice cream. Read more.
It's like going to a theme park - you need more than one day to do it all. With fine food and wine combinations recommended by your sommelier, this won't fail to please.
authentic paris style brasserie, elevated food in an informal setting. The menu is magic, great value for money, and this is one of the hottest restaurants in London!
New restaurant from the folk behind the Ivy & the Wolseley. Very much in the same spirit. Coffee and eggs benedict just as good but a lot easier to get a table - at the moment anyway...
Also Cay Tre now has an express lunch menu - spicy pho PS they have good air conditioning!
Speakeasy style American diner, small plates of goodness with classic dishes like mac & cheese and shoestring fries!
Visit this offshoot of Borough Market - one of the winners of our 2011 Observer Food Monthly Awards - where the stalls and stock changes with the seasons Read more.
You can't go wrong whatever you choose! But... I thoroughly recommend the Veal cheeks (such tender meat!). For dessert, go for the fennel & brioche- very delicate flavours. So good! Read more.
Very early days at the new Cay Tre but great food-recommend mackerel summer rolls, squid is good, so is octopus and the beef papaya salad washed down with some hanoi beer or the excellent house white
The original venue for legendary SoHo rock pub is now a classy but affordable burger bar. It’s definitely a good place to line your stomach. At least the windows aren’t blacked out any more. Read more.
Great for Dim Sum.. buzzing atmosphere and great location. You may have to queue on a weekend though.
Genuinely the best Indian food I have ever eaten. Every dish I try is just amazing, kebab rolls and chicken tikka masala are highly recommended. Very friendly service too (bravo Sunny!)
Love this place - absolutely great service, lovely food and all of the wine is good - even the house plonk is pretty decent
Blown away by the food, especially the spicy veg samosas with a hint of cinnamon. But you have to Try the Virgin Bombalada drink. Cool and creamy, sweet pineapple.
Fishmongers by day, restaurant by night. On Saturdays, if you book your table for the evening by 3pm you get 25% off food. And that's just the icing on the cake of a really good place!
Wonderful service with great food and wine. Advise you reserve a table and preferably at the front of the building. Dining here is highly recommended.
So much choice! Phad Thai and Massamum Curry is great from the Thai Stall, Burritos, Chorizio and Rocket Salad buns on Tuesdays I think...
One of the best place to lunch in East London! Get that by 1pm before the best things on the menu sell out, and take cash.
Amazing little street food restaurant hidden down a side street in Soho. Really small venue and no booking, so be prepared to wait for a table. Well worth the wait though. Read more.
Quite simply one of the best places to eat in London! been 4 times now and never less than excellent, unusual delicious tapa's good wine list and excellent knowledgeable staff
Great for hungry students on a budget. Unless you're a 6ft rugby player, the small meal with a lassi should fill up most people.
Chilled out place for food and drink. Keep an eye on their listings for music events in the basement
BYO at Tayyabs which keeps things cheap, but at the weekend show up earlier than you want to eat because the (not really justifiable) queue - even if you book - will leave you ravenous.
Cuddle up next to the pig cheeks braised in Breton cider and satisfy your sweet tooth's cravings with a lemon/ cinnamon/ almond Chilean export named the "Santiago tart." Read more.
As you'd expect from the name, they do awesome burgers, whole lobsters and lobster rolls. Really good fries, and cocktails. Ran by the guys who run Goodman steak houses. 4,000 litre lobster tank!
It's a toss-up between Goodmans and Hawskmoor. Both are amazing. Have the carrots with ginger and honey glaze, and macaroni cheese with truffle sauce. YUM. Great for romantic meals. Read more.
There's a warm, smiley greeting, almost absurdly low prices and a short menu of simple, ingredient-led dishes that's the antithesis of cheffy indulgence. Metro gave it 4 out of 5 Stars. Read more.
The menu here is precise with just six pizzas available and astonishingly cheap; the most expensive pizza, with chorizo and mozzarella, costs less than £6. It really is a delight to come here. Read more.
This place is tiny but the drinks are creative, all whiskey based, dirty-south style cocktails. Downstairs, the small, changing, food menu of beef ribs, pulled pork, and brisket, is divine. Read more.
