London’s food is a feast for your senses. When
you are choosing where to eat, be adventurous. Try
a fiery curry in Brick Lane, have dim sum in China town on a Sunday
morning, treat yourself to a Michelin-starred meal or have afternoon
tea at a grand hotel.
You can find recommendations for every type
of restaurant at London
Eating, Square Meal
and, of course, Time
Out. If you just want to have a beer in a traditional
British pub, take a look at Traditional and Historic
London Pubs or Fancyapint.
If you are after British food and drink,
avoid the fakery of high street steakhouses. Most Londoners wouldn’t
be caught dead in one of those places. Instead have a pint
in Ye
Olde Cheshire Cheese pub (built in 1667); try a glass of Chateau
Grand Desir in the dusty glamour of Gordon’s
wine bar or savour authentic English cooking
at Porters restaurant.
Eating with children is straightforward
as most places have children’s menus. Giraffe
is the most family-friendly of all the chain restaurants. Adults can
have tasty international dishes and a glass of wine. Children’s
meals come with vegetables and ice cream for pudding so everyone is
happy.
If you have a very young child, you can easily find
baby food and formula milk at most supermarkets, convenience
stores and Boots
the Chemist shops.
If you want to eat at home, Tesco’s
and Waitrose supermarkets
can deliver food and groceries to your flat. Better still, you can
stock up on delicious food from around the world at the food stalls
in Portobello or Spitalfields
markets.
If you want your dinner brought to you,
try Deliverance.
They can deliver Italian, European, American, Japanese, Chinese, Thai
and Indian food as well as puddings and wine to most areas. If you
have a very special occasion, you could even book
a personal
chef to cook for you in your flat.
You can do your Grocery shopping online at Tesco’s
or Waitrose
and they will delivery your order to your flat. If you need to visit
a pharmacy, you can find a Boots
the Chemist shop in most places.
