Cyprus mangal – WestminsterThis restaurant is amazing! Not only is the actual venue stunningly designed but it is such an original venue and the menu is to die for. Go to the place and judge it for yourself. I promise you won? be disappointed!
Fire and Stone – Covent GardenThis is the first time I have visited a restaurant that serves traditional Bangladeshi fish dishes without compromising on taste. On my visit I found it to be frequented by mainly Bangladeshi and Asian customers as the say if a Chinese person eats in a Chinese restaurant then the food has to be good I dare you to put it to the test.
Grambangla Restaurant – East LondonExpensive, but the modern sushi is one of the best in London, the closest thing to the real experience in Japan. The atmosphere was quiet and chic and the service outstanding. Well Deserve the Michelin star!
Umu – MayfairI went to Little Bay as part of a group and found it to be an outstanding gem. The food was traditional rustic French with a good choice on the menu. The two best bits of Little Bay are it's fantastic atmosphere with table booths at the back in a dramatic opera house style. The restaurant looks like part of a stage set! Next is the restaurant unbelievably reasonable prices. We went early and starters were £2-£3 and main courses £5-£8. I don't think the prices went up much if you ate later. Wine was above average as was the service. I wish there was a Little Bay in Cornwall!
Little Bay – ClaphamI took my wife there for a birthday surprise. The food was LUSH!!! Had a chance to meet Gordon (my new hero!!) What a really nice bloke he was - gave me a tour of the kitchen and came and sat with us for a chat. Would definitely recommend this place - very expensive but you do get what you pay for.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay – Chelsea and West BromptonHad a wonderful meal on the terrace on a lovely summer evening. Food was delicious, chocolate soup was to die for! Staff very friendly and attentive. The place to go this summer!
Cafe Des Amis – Covent GardenGreat Italian food at its best served by smiling and friendly waiters. Easy and contemporary Italian background music adds to the Italian flavour experience. To sum it up this is a very well presented and run restaurant.
Piccadilly Restaurant – SohoGreat Spanish without flying to Spain - and great wines also
Cambio De Tercio – KensingtonGeales is not the same place it was when we first went there ten years ago, but is still worth a trip nonetheless- new owners have updated the menu (but not to worry, the old standards are still there)- the atmosphere is of a small country cottage with some celebrity photos positioned where they would be noticed (it appears Sir Elton had a birthday party there a few years back)- Do get there early or be sure to book in advance as the place seems to always be filled up by 6:30
Geales Restaurant – KensingtonThis is our favourite chippy, tucked into somewhat of a residential area near Bloomsbury (hence many of the customers seem to be from the academic world) - they always have a special lager and ale of the day that goes well with the haddock and chips- the black currant sorbet for dessert is a favourite of my wife's- I love the rather "gnarly" looking taxidermied trout in the front part of the dining room and a rather ancient looking stuffed pike towards the rear-
North Sea Fish Restaurant – BloomsburyThis place is one of the best dining deals in London- very low cost considering its South Kensington location- wonderful potato pancakes, perogis, and all forms of reasonably priced comfort food from Poland- desserts are a high point, as is their selection of flavoured vodkas- the atmosphere is one of cold war Poland; it seems like the type of place where a spy might indeed "come in from the cold"!
Daquise – KensingtonMy wife and I really enjoy this place- the Gypsy quick dish and veal goulash are good choices- wild cherry soup and fish dumplings made great starters, and the poppy streudel is a real treat- atmosphere has a sense of a "scholarly" reading room- make sure you book in advance; service is noticeably better if you do!
Gay Hussar – SohoThe food here is wonderfully authentic, with a variety of dishes from all over the former USSR- soups are great, and their chicken kiev is cooked to a delightful deep golden brown and loaded with garlic!-desserts don't meet the quality of the entrees, but were perfectly fine-Don't be put off by its location in the basement of a lower end hotel- its worth the effort to seek this place out!
Erebuni – Bayswater and PaddingtonWe have found the Punjab to be a cut above the rest of the more typical London curry houses- service is a tad friendlier than in many similar restaurants, and every dish we have ever had there has been at best superior and at worst above average- the steaming lemon scented napkins at the end of the meal are a nice touch! Their Tandoori items are great too!
Punjab – HolbornWonderful atmosphere- a must for any Anglophile- excellent starters and entrees, especially the venison and beef steak- desserts are a bit of a letdown, but were still quite acceptable- great background music, mostly circa 1940's
Maggie Joness Restaurant – KensingtonI don't know why anyone said that this place was expensive before because for what you get it's the complete opposite. Only downside is the usual wait for food (don't go if you're in a hurry) but the food tastes fantastic!
Aladdin – East LondonBest summer venue in London the food beer atmosphere and style of venue was awesome
