LONDON Food Guide | 15 Great Places to Eat!

LONDONTOWN LONDONTOWN! As the famous quote goes "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life for there is in London all that life can afford". And same goes for its sprawling and incredibly diverse food scene! The home of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Tower Bridge has been at the forefront of pop culture, art, and music but it is the food that'll keep us coming back to this great city!

This of course is not an exhaustive list but we hope you still find our experiences useful when you plan your own London food adventure!

I’ve got to say what a fantastic video that was. I was a London, black cab driver for 31 years and still hold my badge and you encapsulated great places to eat in one short video. There are so many more places (which are cheaper to eat at)which many London cabbies use ,for your next visit. Free tennis lesson next time you come over! 👍🎾

[@locavore_eats]

Such kind words, thanks Dennis!! Will take you up on that free tennis lesson (and some of your reccomendations too) when we're in London next. Have to pick your brain about The Knowledge too cuz it still boggles our minds 😆

[@Marielm1]

This is exactly the list of restaurants/chippys I was looking for- am returning to London after 35 years. Nearly all of my regular places are gone or forgotten. THANKS!!

[@meglomania2001]

My food experience of London is to find a Tesco's or other,small convenience shop and buy a sausage roll for under £2. Or take sandwich I made at home.

[@locavore_eats]

Regret so hard not trying a Tesco meal deal 😅

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice!! The food looks really nice!!😊😊

[@annamartin1154]

Thank you for this information! I have enjoyed this very informative video and I can't wait to get back to London after only being there for 1 day on a tour.

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks for watching!!! Hope you get to spend a much longer time the next time you go!!

Amazing and varied selection of foods in this video .-) Loved it .-)

Love the video I am fairly local to London anyway and have been all my life but watching videos like these shows me what I’m missing

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks for watching 😊😊😊

I’m from London. Glad to see you enjoyed the food here 😋

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks! We had a great time!!

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

This is the first of your videos that I’ve seen, and I’m looking forward to seeing more. I was enjoying it all already, and then, near the end, a SONDHEIM reference! Obviously, you are young. I hope that life has been kind to you… and I kind of hope that you never have to “learn”.

[@zyzor9287]

What a fabulous and entertaining video with a great choice of eateries.

[@locavore_eats]

Thanks so much!!!

[@onthegowithyolo]

Loved the vlog! Foodie approved and so fun. Will be hitting a couple of these up this July! ❤

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you!! Hope you have an amazing time in London 😊😊

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

I was just telling the author that I have a number of other recommendations for Borough Market, Indian food, and Sunday roasts (Blacklock is good, but it’s kind of a local chain so I would go for a more authentic pub feel). Let me know if you need help.

[@AlQuadrato2]

Kanada-Ya, our favorite Ramen in London. The branch you’ve been is the best one too. Do you have any more suggestion Ramen-wise? We were going to shoot a video for our channel about ramen bars in London but struggling to find very good ones. 🙏🏻

[@mymy97]

Supa ya ramen !

[@locavore_eats]

Unfortunately this was the only ramen spot we went to during our visit 😭

[@lovemykiss9]

There’s a really good chain of restaurants called Shoryu. There’s a couple of branches in Central London. They’re a bit on the pricey side but their ramen is top quality.

[@joshuapopoff9225]

Thank you❤ enjoyed the tour. Going for the fish and chips

[@ems9097]

@@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo i'd love a local pub recommendation for sunday roast if you have any?

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

@@ems9097, Sure, there are lots of good pubs in London and I have lots of recommendations. Here are a few of my favourites for food: 1. The Anchor and Hope (the one in Southwark on The Cut)- I’ve been for dinner a few times and it’s always excellent, but I’ve never been for Sunday roast 2. Marksman- Excellent food and I can vouch for their Sunday roast 3. The Duke of Richmond (the one on Queensbridge Road in East London)- Also all around good food and excellent Sunday roast 4. The Drappers Arms- Also all around good food and excellent Sunday roast 5. The Harwood Arms- One Michelin starred pub with possibly the most famous Sunday roast 6. The Windsor Castle- Very good food and excellent choice if you’re in Nottingham Hill and the weather is good, as they have a nice back garden; I’ve never had a Sunday roast there though 7. The Mall Tavern- Also in Notting Hill; excellent burgers; I’m not sure about their roast specifically though 8. The Camberwell Arms- Well known for their Sunday roast 9. The Red Lion and Sun- Excellent option for food and Sunday roast 10. The French House- Well known pub for the theatre crowd with very good food; it gets really crowded and I can’t speak to their Sunday roast (even if they do one) though Obviously, I don’t know where you’ll be staying, so I tried to give a selection throughout London, not just in one area. I hope this helps.

[@TheMoonlightAdventures]

Great vlog! We are headed to London for 4 days prior to a transatlantic cruise on the Sun Princess from Southhampton. You gave us some great ideas!

Guys, give this video a thumbs up. It is the ultimate food guide in London!! I look forward to the next video from Madrid. 😊

[@locavore_eats]

Thank you!!!

[@janet8418]

I liked the English breakfast but when looking for a restaurant in a hurry, it was mostly ethnic food like Pakistani or Indian food. Fish and chips were good, but too greasy & heavily battered. Finally, found a pub with better food. Now, the tea and scones were superb! I come from the U S south where the food is the best, imo. However, I always eat the local foods whenever I travel. I was impressed with Scotland’s Salmon and Lamb Stew.

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

Now that I started looking at your Paris vlogs, I got curious about your London experience too because I’ve lived there on two separate occasions. E Pellicci for breakfast, Four Seasons for Chinese, and Blacklock for Sunday roast were all good moves. You seem to need help for the next time you’re in Borough Market, Indian restaurants, and I would suggest a number of other excellent Sunday roast spots in addition to Blacklock.

[@Maitreya0208]

The sausage rolls at Ginger Pig really are special.

[@dougsalton9572]

Thank you so much I’m from England but I’ve been in Texas now for 30 years oh my how the food has changed

[@louiem2]

Some cool spots, but i'd be broke if i ate at all these places!! Give me a Greggs, Wetherspoons, Nandos, the local chippy and a Tescos Meal Deal instead 😀

[@locavore_eats]

Was highly considering going to Nandos but we have them in Auckland where we live too 😅

Food in london are class 👍👌😇

Wow that english breakfast from e pellicci looks scrumptious. I was thinking about going to Regency cafe for my trip to london but i think i'll switch from e pellicci instead haha

[@locavore_eats]

Regency Cafe was one of our options too so we'll definitely head there next time! But yes the warm family vibe is something else at E Pellicci 🙌

[@Tamii03]

I have to vouch for Mother Mash! Best dinner my whole trip for such an affordable price ❤

[@markterence]

Hi! Great video! Where sis you stay in London? What is the name of the hotel near Kanada-ya? Thanks for the travel tips! :)

[@locavore_eats]

We stayed at the Seven Dials Hotel. Pretty basic and small for the price but it did the job and the location was fantastic!

[@MandyFong-dp8sr]

When was this filmed? It hasn't been cold in London for like 6 month😂 also great recommendations, will def go check them out

[@locavore_eats]

Hahaha this was in February jsut took awhile to upload 😅 And thanks! Hope you enjoy these places 😊

[@EugeneTChu]

Belated comment, London's Chinatown is an overlooked gem. There are Asian multiple restaurants that are lower in price compared to rest of London. Taste is very authentic.

Mate, why did you only get one chicken masala real? Londoner’s know that when it comes to meal time nothing else compares especially after a night out with mates on the drink. Chicken Tikka is meant to be eaten late off the piss when you can barely form a sentence that’s the true English way to eat the meal. Same goes for all the other meals you tried.

14:30 Gregg's is high fat, high salt, low quality junk food. It's a pastry equivalent of McDonalds, KFC etc. It's NOT a must try experience at all. You guys are clueless. If you want proper hot pasties, go to The Ginger Pig.
