There's something of the Sweeney Todd about this place. The coffee is so rich they must be putting something illicit in there. Peer down into the basement to see some suspicious equipment.
An amazing bar stuck firmly in the 1980s in terms of its decor and menus. But superb views and guaranteed minor celebrities from the neighbouring BBC.
Pssst...it's the favourite coffee shop of FourSquare, whose new London office is nearby. Hang about long enough, and you might hear some gossip.
It's like someone designed the perfect lure to ensnare John Prescott. Also, tell them you work in the nearby offices and they'll cheerfully give you 10% off.
Have a drink on the toilet. The old prison cell rooms in the bar include a (non-functional) water closet.
4/5 stars: Bo London might leave your wallet a tad lighter but it’s worth it to experience a restaurant which really does live up to the hype. Read more.
3/5 stars: WHEEEEEE! The glass lift, as thrilling for this grown-up as anything by Roald Dahl, whisks us up the new Heron Tower, above a city sprawling sexily beneath us. Read more.
4/5 stars: The best ramen is all about the stock, made from slow-simmered pork or chicken bones (hence that name), and there’s a slurp-to-the-bottom-of-the-bowl richness Read more.
4/5 stars: Much of the food has an Asian/Middle Eastern flavour, probably because the original owners, brothers Michael and Adrian Daniel, are Indo-Iraqi-Jewish, which means lots of spicing Read more.
4/5 stars - No matter how much our British restaurant scene congratulates itself on no longer being the laughing stock of Europe – the world? – the truth is, Read more.
If you can get to the restaurant / bar at the top, do. Most breathtaking views of London I've ever seen, glorious watching-the-sun-set location, and not a bad drinks menu either
As far as $14 cocktails go, the saisonniere is really quite special. Oysters, asparagus, and octopus as starters! Steak frites = real deal. Finish with the chocolate-almond torte and then die happy.
Awful, awful service. Dumplings were good, but the meat dishes were pretty much all fat in very greasy sauces. Not recommended. Go to Jen's Cafe round the corner. Amazing and super cheap.
A really nice, independent restaurant. Better than chains and well worth a visit -been many times and doesn't disappoint.
Be sure to order the Green Destiny cocktail. God it's good. Zubrovka bison grass vodka, muddled with kiwi, cucumber and apple.
The Macintosh is a favorite for brunch, dinner and their Bacon Happy Hour (named after chef Jeremiah Bacon), where a small, pork-y dish is $5. [Eater 18 Member]
Traditional Vietnamese food. Salt and pepper eels are a delicacy here. For the full FT review... Read more.
If you’re into Ramen then you’re gonna love this place. These guys know a thing or two about boiling bones. Oh and the guy behind it all is Ross Shonhan, former head chef at Zuma and Nobu, nuff said! Read more.
Frank’s does a sterling job of combining about 18 different London trends in one. As well as being a rooftop bar it qualifies as a pop-up (closes on September 30.) Read more.
You can follow your nose to the Queen of Hoxton’s rooftop garden. On balmy evenings the hipster pub grills some of the best jerk chicken in East London Read more.
On the sixth floor of the Trafalgar Hotel, you can’t see very far from here but you are directly above Trafalgar Square, and the location’s a showstopper. Read more.
The bar leads to an indoor Japanese restaurant decorated in silk and charcoal. The crowd throughout looks the part too. More locals in the know than tourists clutching guidebooks. Read more.
Go to FM Mangal for the best kebab in the world! Go for the special dishes, you can't go wrong
Coffee? Eggs?! NO! You go to Smiths for MEAT! Amazing meat direct for the Smithfield Market! The sirloin steak and pork belly are my fave dishes here.
The deep fried squid with salt & chilli was divine (#8 on starters). Lovely service too.
Its a wonderful combination of industrial-chic, dark panels, white tiles and shiny steel tanks showing off their wonderful beer http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/mill-valley-beer-works
Grab a plate of super fresh oysters or their house specialty, poutine which is chunky fries smothered with cheese and gravy http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/san-francisco/salt-house
One of the best meals I've had anywhere in a while. The gnocchi especially was to die for - we ate every bit of the sauce. Go now!
Perched near the top of the dizzying Heron Tower lies Sushisamba: home to incredible views and delicious food. Read more.
The Butchers adjacent do some wonderful Scotch Eggs and Sausage Rolls. A pork paradise.
Nice choice of beer in the bar including the moreish Chouffe Doublon Blonde.
