MICHELIN Fish & Chips Tour 🐟🍟 & All You Can Eat LUXURY Indian Brunch Buffet in London

[@jenchu3913]

Mike, next time you're in the UK, you should visit Yorkshire! Lots of lovely places to eat.. including lots of reasonably priced Michelin starred places!

[@yorkshirecoastadventures1657]

Bradford for curry,Whitby for Fish n chips.

Glad you got to try the Bombay Brasserie buffet! It's definitely the most unique Indian buffet I've ever been to, very different to the usual places, watching this has made me want to go back

[@timu103]

26 dollars for fish n chips? And a dollop of taretare? This feels like a tourist trap that first fish shop

[@lazysean5418]

to make it even worst , it taste so basic ngl , thats not tourist trap that was robbery

[@Jimmer93]

£21 for a place like that in London, probably not too bad all things considered. Especially since a pint of beer in London can cost upwards of £5!

[@Brooke52528]

Best fish and chips in the UK will only ever be eaten at the seaside in the paper its served in. As a brit, I'd never eat it in a restaurant, especially at these prices and I hope Mike gets to try it the best way some day!!

[@whu58]

Your so right,...........oh god Im so hungry lol

[@Asad-zeetwo5241]

Good thing you mentioned as a Brit! Otherwise, the majority of people who are from abroad don't really know about eating it at the seaside from a newspaper imitation wrapping! They just want to try a good fish and chips, be it at a local chippy or a high-end restaurant.

[@CorporalUK]

Facts and I’m from London!

[@GroovydawgJ]

Same in the US. Always go to a coastal city for good seafood

[@CuteTP]

Apart from Mayfair Chippy, I wouldn't recommend any of these tourist trap ones Mike went. There are a few nice spots in Southwark, North London, and SE London/Kent areas (like Golden Chippy you tried in Greenwich). Always have it with Salt and Vinegar, accompanied with Curry and Mushy peas if possible, PLUS battered sausage (not saveloy) Mike. Interestingly (maybe controversial), I do find Turkish and Chinese do some of the best fish and chips around. Some of the best places are at the seaside, especially in the South of England.

[@adamgreenhill110]

Exactly. Usually the most basic, run-down looking fish shops have the best quality food! Weird rule with those places. The fancy places have worse food

[@pumpkinlyd4409]

Best chips are in Whitby.

[@Emmawellthick]

Agree, you have to go to the seaside to get the best fish and chips! You dont want to go anywhere that looks too fancy either!

[@DeterminedFC]

yh mate not everyones like vingear ..and for sure not everyone likes mushy peas and or curry sauce

[@MaZEEZaM]

Fish and chips are always best by the sea or ocean. I love vinegar but also lemon juice on fish. My relations loved curry sauce with their chips. I found this quite funny first time we visited them. You wont find curry sauce or mushy peas at fish and chip shops in Australia but tartar sauce and gravy are offered along side salt and vinegar and lemon. Mushy peas are definitely an acquired taste.

[@jamessmith1652]

That buffet looked amazing. You mention it's not like what you would typically find in the US. It's also not typically what you would find in the UK either. That buffet is just incredible, I would love to try it.

[@yorkshirecoastadventures1657]

Whitby for fish n chips,Bradford for curry. I don't understand why you went to a British curry house and didn't try Tikka Masala (our national dish) and Vindaloo which is extremely popular.

[@travelswithsi8932]

To be fair Mike has done multiple vids in the UK with different themes

[@ShireenPlays]

Some chippies in London can be delicious but the tourist traps are so expensive. If you want the best fish and chips, go to Brighton or Kendal in the Lake District.

[@kevintravis5123]

Lake district can be expensive cmon you know this

[@GCLU]

Carrot/Gajar Ka Halwa and Payasam are my favorite Indian desserts. Nice to see a buffet with both. I've seen one or other on some buffets in NY (especially the halwa)

[@prakashrajput9350]

Indian food outside india is also as colorful and flavorful as in India. Good job to all indians out there.

[@axomiyabonggal4075]

Most of them are bad in taste, super expensive and more than often prepared and owned by Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. I had worst experiences at such restaurants, both in terms of taste and value for money. Very few restaurants I visited are good, owned by Indians and somehow manage to retain the taste to an extent. Others are nothing home to write about unless its a decent upscale restaurant which charges a bomb. Also just wanted to point out that Mike ate at Bombay brasserie owned by the Taj Hotel group so I am sure this one is very good 💗 Hope to eat there someday.

[@CameronAC]

​@@axomiyabonggal4075Sounds like you decide if the food is good of bad before you even sit down at your table. Judging if the owners are Indian or not

Definitely leave London if you want good fish and chips, the seasides are actually some of the best places!

[@ara3592]

Halibut is a dense fish, so there's a risk it will be a bit dry. However, what a great flavour it is!

[@JYMBO]

COD is the #1 staple for fish & chips... in the UK if you get recommended something or see on the menu under "chef's favourites" etc it's either things that don't sell very well or things with a large profit margin for them (not necessarily the most expensive for you but cheapest for them to make)

[@shuanwilliam]

Hey Mike ... Come 'on with exaggerating your cost to us viewers, because your math is a whole lot off. You ordered the 'Mayfair Classic' which is £22.50 GBP. You say it's cost you $16 USD, when in actuality, that is $27.55 USD after conversion. The GBP is still stronger than our USD (24/09/2023). The Indian Buffet did look amazing though ...

[@cassisbrook]

Horse Brass pub in Portland Oregon, serves nice halibut and chips. They have HP sauce too!

[@magicmagicman]

I don't know who converted the prices into US dollars but they are completely wrong. For example the Michelin star fish and chips was £22.50 which $27.67, not $16

[@snowbunny2908]

I looked and the conversion was backwards so he put in 22 dollars to 16 pounds lol

[@BossyMeatCreature]

It's funny seeing Mike go all over the world eating incredible food. And then he goes to London and is like wow this battered fried fish and French fries are INCREDIBLE WOW

[@aakarmamtora3470]

[@JP-me5zj]

When I saw you break into the fish I knew it was dry. Halibut has gone up in price a lot in the last 10 years so you don’t see it as much but no it shouldn’t be dry (the first chip spot)

[@realgamerboyryt]

as a Asian Londoner I suggest you go to east London either Ilford or Green Street for authentic Indian food by Indian chefs.

[@vivienswift880]

You need mushy peas and curry sauce with fish and chips usually Irish curry for flavour

Yall should try shark and chips trust me , its to die for

[@gunlovingliberal1706]

Mushy peas are not just mashed peas. They are soaked in a weak solution of baking soda. This breaks down the tough exterior of the peas. They naturally come out mushy as they are cooked.

These all looked great 😊👍 My only critique, I'd never choose halibut, (an otherwise beautiful and more steak like fish imo), for a fish n chip situation. The lightness of the cod and/or haddock is the supreme choice here. And, there's no such thing as too much malt vinegar 😅😋👍🌻🤗

I'm lucky enough to have a hidden gem in my hometown which nobody outside of it would know about (except friends who come from miles on our recommendations and leave saying it's the best they ever had). I love how you do fish and chips too. I smother mine in vinegar and make liberal use of tartare sauce. When you find a good fish and chips joint you have an option in your back pocket to pick up your mood when times are bad whenever you need it. Sadly my hometown doesn't have one that sets my heart ablaze like our indian does but you can't everything :p
