London is arguably one of the finest cities on earth when it comes to both the quality and quirkiness of its restaurants. However, with so much choice, comes indecision. These mood-dependant picks are some of the leading exhibits of what London has to offer if you are aiming to impress.
For Splashing the Cash...
Marcus Wareing is a name synonymous with those who consider themselves advocates of modern British haute cuisine. His most recent venture - simply named, Marcus - is a two Michelin starred restaurant situated in the lavishly modern The Berkeley Hotel, Knightsbridge. If you want to be exposed to the best Britain has to offer on the food front, then expect to pay for it!
For Romance...
Being able to boast the title of ‘World’s Most Romantic Restaurant’ is no mean feat, but that is exactly what French-inspired Clos Maggiore in Covent Garden is able to do. Pair the enviable award with a selection of over 2500 wines and a dining conservatory embellished with apple-blossom, and you have yourself a staple for all your courting needs.
For the Budget...
With ten establishments dotted around London you are never too far from Rosa’s Thai Cafe, and for that you should be thankful! Rosa’s has gained infamy with those chasing quick-fire and casual Southeast Asian cuisine, consistently offering a dining experience that makes little impact on your bank balance and a big impact on your taste buds.
For That Something Bit Different...
Go beyond the avant-garde when you eat at Dans Le Noir in Clerkenwell. Dining in the dark and being served by visually-impaired waiters causes you to reassess your senses in what is a truly unique dining experience. Oh, once you have picked the colour of your menu, the food is a surprise too!
For the Tapas Experience…
Tapas has become increasingly common upon British high streets and London’s flagship is Jose Tapas Bar on Bermondsey Street. Head chef Jose Pizarro is a regular on British television and this quaint tapas bar transports you to the bustling food markets of Barcelona. Passion for sherry? Well Jose also uses his restaurant for showcasing his favourite tipple, so go and sample Iberia’s best.
