What's the best restaurant in London? Bonus points if you tell me what makes it awesome. I don't necessarily mean fancy/expensive, just good places with good food.

You’ll get a different answer from everyone because there are literally endless restaurants here.

I enjoy the food truck portion of Borough Market for a quick bite at lunch together with some shopping. The honey truffle and parmesan pork ciabatta at The Black Pig followed by some Humble Crumble is to die for.

I always enjoy Hawksmoor (steakhouse) for something a bit more upscale but not over the top. Visitors from other countries have always enjoyed when I took them there. Good for business meals as well.

There’s some world class Indian food on Brick Lane, but every neighbourhood has local curry spots, and you can find a wide range throughout London. If you’re in SW, I quite enjoyed Chook Chook in Putney (a bit lesser known).

I prefer some of the Shard restaurants to Duck and Waffle for views and personally thought they had better service, but the namesake duck and waffle dish is undoubtedly awesome.

Thanks! I was hoping for a good variety of answers as I'm hoping to visit a good number of different places :)

Hide - Michelin star rated
Duck&Waffle - view is amazing & brunch was fantastic!

“Polpo” and “bao” in soho come to mind. Food is very tasty in both and good atmosphere.

Personally I found duck and waffle very good but not great on the food front (the duck and waffle is best brunch option on menu) - atmosphere a bit hectic too. Good views though!

Buvette in Notting Hill. It’s a lovely French restaurant with decadent, large-portion & reasonably priced food! Such a gem.

Also do checkout the lunch deals or pre-theatre menus at Michelin-starred restaurants. You get a multiple-course meal at a discount
