Hi – I am aiming to try these restaurants for 10 day visit in London. Which restaurants would you suggest skipping? Are there any restaurants you’d recommend instead of these, based on the specific type of food?”

Soho / Fitzrovia / Covent Garden

  • Arnabeet Syrian – Seven Dials Market
  • Mother Mash – mash, pies, sausages
  • Golden Union – chippy
  • Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese – historic pub
  • Flat Iron Soho – steakhouse
  • Blacklock Soho – Sunday roast
  • Nando’s – casual peri-peri chicken chain
  • Dishoom – Bombay-style Indian café

Mayfair / Chelsea / Kensington

  • Mayfair Chippy – fish & chips
  • Zima – Russian restaurant

South Bank / Southwark / Borough

  • Ginger Pig in Borough Market – sausage rolls
  • Wright Brothers – oysters
  • Kolae – Thai
  • Bala Baya – Persian
  • Lahpet Larder – Burmese
  • Carnival Pot (Carribean takeaway)
  • The black pig (sandwiches)
  • Hobson’s Fish & Chips

Tower Bridge / East End

  • M.Manze Tower Bridge – pie & mash

Thanks for any tips!

EDIT: Splitting time in Southwark & Fitzrovia. My partner and I are interested in trying all sorts of cuisines within the mid-range budget. I enjoy casual but am okay with something a bit fancier too. First time in London!
