A Guide to the Restaurants of London

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

London is a scenic city brimming over with history, culture, and beautiful architecture. There are dazzling places to visit and great London restaurants. British food is best sampled at restaurants that specifically cater to that preference. “Butlers Wharf Chop House” is arguably one of the best English restaurants in the city judging by the rave reviews it continues to receive despite the modest ambience.

For a gourmet lunch at not-so-high prices, “Bibendum” serves up a varied feast from fish ‘n chips to open ravioli of lobster and samphire with girolles. “The Capital,” a French restaurant that bears a two star Michelin recommendation, offers wonderful 3-course set lunches and dinners at very reasonable prices.

Traditional pub grub at the local gastropubs is also very popular in London. Here you can get delicious food at great prices. The “Anchor & Hope” is as renowned for its no-nonsense style of business as it is for the food. Guests are well-advised to arrive early as the wait for a table can be quite long as the night draws on. (Reservations are not entertained at this pub.) “The Atlas,” another famous gastropub, offers a cozy environment with an old-fashioned charm.

A visit to London’s best restaurants is incomplete, however, without at least one visit to the renowned “Beefeater.” More than just another opportunity for a good meal, Beefeater provides for an entire experience that cannot be missed. Themed for medieval times, the restaurant-a torch-lit vaulted cellar-goes all out on ambience, putting out a medieval banquet complete with King Henry VIII, minstrels, troupers, dancing wenches, jousting knights, and strolling players. The mood is upbeat and there is plenty of excitement and entertainment to be had through the night.

Famous Pizza Restaurants In London

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Pizza is a global food. Everyone all over the world loves eating pizza, and it comes in so many varieties that you can no longer say that Italian pizza is the original pizza. The United Kingdom is truly a cosmopolitan country, as it is filled with all kinds of people from different races. The most cosmopolitan city in the United Kingdom, however, is London; this city of United Kingdom has people from different parts of the world, and furthermore, draws the attention of the biggest tourist crowds towards itself each year. Here are the top famous pizza restaurants in London, United Kingdom:

1. Eco: Located in South London, this gourmet pizza restaurant has been around for quite a long time. Although it looks a little old now but it still draws the attention of a large number of students towards itself. The student crowd although is a change from its initial kind of crowd of gourmet foodie’s. They serve very thin crusty bread pizza that is heavenly in taste with its generous toppings. You can choose from goat’s cheese, fresh tomato, porcini, fontina, and truffle oil to bresaola and rocket. This restaurant is located on Clapham high Street.

2. Franco Manca: Located on 4 Market Row, Electric Lane, this cheap organic pizza place has everyone buzzing about it. Run by Neapolitan-expat Giuseppe Macoli, the pizza is strictly Neapolitan with many rules regarding its preparation. The mozzarella they use is from Alham Wood Farm in Somerset where it is prepared from milk of water buffalos. They have six different toppings, like chorizo, wild mushroom and garlic, and the oven has been imported specially from Italy.

3. Il Baretto: Il Baretto had a bad start. Initially known as Giusto, the restaurant’s ground floor was not used much, which meant a lot of people never realised that there was a restaurant in the basement. However, in recent times, the restaurant has changed the way it looks with large and airy rooms, Italian limestone flooring, walls made from brick, and panelling upstairs, and has shifted the restaurant business downstairs. It is located on Blandford Street, and with its wood-fired ovens, there is excellent food here from swordfish carpaccio to lobster.
