Best Restaurants in London
A curated guide to the best restaurants in London — from iconic local institutions to under-the-radar spots worth crossing the city for.
Where to eat in London
Dishoom
A Bombay-inspired cafe that's become a London institution. The bacon naan roll at breakfast is life-changing, and the lamb biryani and black dhal at dinner are extraordinary. King's Cross branch has the best interior.
Brat
Tomos Parry's fire-cooking restaurant above a Shoreditch pub. The whole turbot cooked over woodfire is the signature — the skin crackles and the flesh is butter-soft. Book well ahead for dinner.
Padella
Fresh pasta at Borough Market that's absurdly good for the price. The pici cacio e pepe is simple perfection and the beef shin ragu is rich and soulful. Queue from 5pm for dinner — no reservations.
The Wolseley
A grand European cafe-restaurant on Piccadilly serving flawless classics — wiener schnitzel, eggs Benedict, steak tartare. The Art Deco interior is magnificent and the people-watching is world-class.
Kiln
Blistering Thai grill cooking in a tiny Soho space. Everything is cooked over charcoal and wood — the aged beef massaman and the clay-pot glass noodles are intensely flavoured. No bookings, just queue.
St. John
Fergus Henderson's nose-to-tail pioneer in Smithfield. The bone marrow with parsley salad is legendary, and the roast marrowbone with toast is British cooking at its most elemental. The Madeleines are perfection.
