Mentioned in these guides

An extra-full guide on where to wine&dine in central London and beyond (no matter the 💷: from low budgets to gold/platinum card holders 😄). And the list is big because…this is the most exhilarating city I have ever visited! I bet you will find your favorites among mine! London is heaven for foodies simply because it has something for everyone…you just have to know where to go and what to look after! Going further than the traditional British meals or beverages, one could taste various cuisines from all over the world: India, China, Japan, Italy, Spain, etc. I have included several places with such different menus. 💡Tip! Be advised that many restaurants offer tasting menus or happy hours so you have to check their websites or FB/IG accounts to find out how you could easily afford a great culinary experience. Highlights: 🫖 English breakfast tea - it is actually a blend of various kinds of black tea; is meant to be had with milk and sugar although it can be served without either. 🥓 Full English Breakfast - this usually includes: bacon, sausages, eggs, baked beans, toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns and black puddings. 🥧 British Pies - from fish to cheese and onion to minced beef or steak, savory pies are a British tradition that’s been around for centuries. By far, some of the most popular pies are the Shepherd’s Pie/Cottage Pie and the British Mushroom and Chicken Pie. 🐟 Fish & chips - this dish is a must try whilst you are in the UK; no matter where you are, you’ll be able to find a delicious plate of fish and chips (look out for anything called Chippy - they are the best).
