My big fat list of London restaurants to try this year
Stuck for ideas about where to dine out in London? Here’s a list of 23 restaurants to try in the capital.
I love going out for dinner. I love sitting down in a restaurant and chatting with the staff. I love beautifully presented dishes, and fun cutlery. I love the whole dining out scene. But even more than all of that I really love to eat.
And when it comes to eating out in London, we are truly spoiled for choice. From epic street food that goes viral on social media to Michelin star restaurants run by up and coming chefs and celebrity owned pubs and eateries - where do we begin?
To add insult to injury I am a typical Libra so choosing where to go for dinner already feels like the toughest choice EVER. So because I wield the power to do so, I’ve decided to publish my list of restaurants I REALLY want to try in London, on the off chance it helps you pick what’s for tea tonight too.
