Top 10: Delicious Food Outlets to Try in LondonBy Angelica Malin
If you live in the capital, you can always rely on a near-endless selection of yummy restaurants to try. So here’s a look at some of the more tantalising food outlets that show off the best of our magnificent city!
All day breakfast: Whilst bagels may be traditionally viewed as a breakfast treat, it’s thanks to the cheap and tasty Brick Lane Biegel Bake that we can eat freshly baked bagels 24-hours per day. With fillings that range from the traditional salmon and cream cheese, to the fiery salt beef with pickle and hot mustard, it shows how great food doesn’t have to cost the earth.
Lazy lunch: Taking a long and luxurious lunch is quickly becoming an institution amongst many Londoners. And with the warmer months just around the corner, what better way to spend a lazy lunchtime than by heading to one of the capital’s riverside gastropubs like The Gun on Canary Wharf that updates the standard British cuisine with a fresh modern twist and an unbeatable view of the Thames.
Fast afternoon food: However, for those city-dwellers who are pushed for time, there are plenty of faster alternatives. Whether it’s picking up a quick box of noodles from Good Morning Vietnam in Wandsworth, or even just using your mobile to checkout the wide range of takeaway delivery options from Deliveroo, it’s clear that fast food doesn’t necessarily have to mean low quality.
Global attractions: It’s the sheer choice of culinary options from around the world that makes London such a foodie hot-spot. From top-class Turkish restaurants in Tottenham to the enviable range of Lebanese outlets on Edgware Road, there’s something for everyone. But even the most jaded of palates would be woken up by the hidden gem that is the Chilean restaurant, El Vergel, in Southwark. Don’t let the cheap prices fool you, the food is fresh and the tacos are to die for!
Late night eating: And finally if you’ve left it late and don’t want another takeaway delivery, then fear not as there’s no shortage of food options all night long. Our best bet has to be to head down to the gloriously loud Voodoo Ray’s in Dalston that serves up a suitably humongous 22-inch pizza to give you a taste of NYC life right in the heart of London!
