It may surprise you to hear that Britain’s favourite food is: Chicken Tikka Masala. The popularity of Indian cuisine means that you will find Indian restaurants in practically every neighbourhood in London. Traditional English restaurants are much rarer.
English cuisine has, however, seen a revival in the restaurants and recipes of celebrated chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Marco Pierre White and Fergus Henderson. Between the curry and the Welsh rarebit, just about every other cuisine in the world is represented in London, and often at a world-class level. This is particularly true of major cuisines such as Italian, Chinese, French and Indian.
Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
If the name alone doesn’t sell it, the three Michelin Stars it was honored with should. A combination of elegance and intimate ambiance welcome you at this restaurant. The food is French with a little extra twist.
inamo
inamo is a pioneering Oriental fusion restaurant and bar where the control of the dining experience is placed firmly in your own hands. They provide delicious cuisine with charming and timely service in a warm and vibrant atmosphere. At the core of Inamo is their interactive ordering system. Diners place orders from an illustrated food and drinks menu projected onto their table surface. Friendly staff are always on hand to help with whatever you need.
Locanda Locatelli
Undoubtedly one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Locatelli’s culinary style can be described as rustic regional food delivered with urban panache. One of their best dishes is the tagliatelle al ragù di capretto, handmade tagliatelle with kid goat ragù.
J Sheekey
Situated in the middle of London’s theatre district, this very elegant restaurant has long been the choice for both pre-and-post-dinners. It’s also London’s best restaurant for seafood.

One of the best and certainly most luxurious of London’s many Indian restaurants, Haandi’s cuisine is a modern take on traditional dishes from the Punjabi region of North India. Conveniently close to Harrods’, Harvey Nichols, and Sloane Street.
Mr Chow
Simply the best Chinese restaurant in London. So much in fact, it’s pretty much an institution. The interior positively oozes discreet glamour with smoked mirrors and walnut furniture, and the dishes are even better than rumoured: hand-pulled pasta served with minced pork and sweet bean sauce, or Beijing Chicken with walnuts, are just a couple of favourites.
The Wolseley
Housed in a former car showroom, and turned into an elegant old-style “Grand Café,” The Wolseley has been regarded by many as the best of the latest crop of new restaurants in London. The food is a mix of modern European and classic brassiere food: omelettes aux fines herbes with frites, marinated herring with potato salad.
Duke of Cambridge
At the rustic Duke of Cambridge in Islington, there are no fast Asian fusion dishes – only slow and carefully prepared meals with organic ingredients. Most dishes go well with a pint of Saint Peter’s Organic Bitter.
Gaucho
A hip and very nice South American restaurant, cool place with classy atmosphere and nice people. Steaks are great but also try the duck tortillas and grilled lamb.
