About London Restaurants
London's come a long way since the post-war austerity which lent it its less-than-stellar culinary reputation. Gone are the days of boiled potatoes and beef Wellington (for the most part). The last decade has seen London rival Paris and New York for dining prestige, and partaking in London's continental classics and New World innovations could take up an entire visit — you'd be well advised to go in with a solid foodie game-plan. Splashing out in posh Mayfair? Diving into the edgy East End? Heading south for the most authentic Caribbean curry east of Port Elizabeth? From monkfish sashimi to late-night shawarma, there's a signature dining experience for each of the city's vibrant nooks. And don't forget the classics: eel and chips anyone?
