The best restaurants in London in a 3-minute read

Natalia Trocoli

English cuisine has a reputation for not being the most admired in the world; truth be told, I have to agree. Perhaps precisely for this reason, London has become one of the leading global capitals of international gastronomy.

From the most traditional restaurants like Scots, to Asian ones like China Tang, Hakkasan, Zuma, Nobu, Indian ones like Amaya, Chutney Mary, and the classic Italian, Cipriani, London is a city with options for every taste and budget.

From markets like the Borough Market with varied and delicious offerings from different world cuisines, to the most traditional and luxurious, or “low-key restaurants”, the city won’t disappoint when it comes to good dining.

If you’re in London, don’t miss the new Ivy Asia, a blend of different Asian culinary flavors, the meat at Turkish eatery Nusr-et, and the brand-new patisserie by acclaimed chef Cédric Grolet at the Berkeley hotel. Isabel in Mayfair is an excellent pick for drinks in a super charming bar, followed by a delicious dinner featuring contemporary cuisine options.

But if, with all these options, you’re truly a fan of English cuisine, The Ivy, with locations across the city, serves a delicious Fish and Chips, and Berners Tavern offers an incredible Beef Wellington and an authentic Sunday roast. Nearby, in the heart of Marylebone, for those who enjoy a good coffee and a good read, Shreeji News is the top pick.
