Where to eat in London

[MikeF86]

Friday 21st August, in London for Wife's birthday. Where would you eat? Don't want to go to somewhere all these celebs / instagrammers hang out if i'm honest but looking for good food. Don't mind paying for it either. Any type of cuisine considering so throw some recommendations up.

Cheers

That's a bit of an open-ended question. Whereabouts in London are you going to be? West End?

[vixen1700]

Goodman if you're going to be in central London and fancy a nice steak.

Are you a Pistonheads bot trying to generate user content?

I recommend the McDonald's in Waterloo Station for haute cuisine.

[MikeF86]

No, not a bit. Just wanted various choices that’s all.

Staying close to Tower Bridge.

Lots of choice round there.

It's been ages since I've been but Pont De La Tour is a stroll away and was really nice last time I went.

My two favourites are St John (Smithfield) and Bentley's near Piccadilly.

How about if I said between steak and Italian. Any specific recommendations?

[Ronstein]

If you really want to go upmarket - https://kitchentablelondon.co.uk/ (should be back open soon)

For great steak and cocktails - https://thehawksmoor.com/ is highly recommended. Ate there between plays for The Cursed Child on two separate occasions.

Gaucho is good if you like Argentinian / steaks etc. There’s one 5 minutes from Tower bridge too.

Not a great deal of choice in London really.
A good job you didn’t attempt to narrow it down.

Oh Lol! Wish I was as witty as you! You’ll see if you read above that I have in fact narrowed it down somewhat. Thanks for your help.

Hawksmoor Seven Dials. I like Omnino on Leadenhall Street too but it will be a bit quiet around that neck of the woods at the weekend (or in the week at the moment for that matter!)

Sky Garden worth a trip for the views but not eaten there.

That is nice, but only eaten there once. Being underground not much to look at.

As for the City at the moment its getting busier but still not the same. I went to my office on Fenchurch Street on Thusday morning. Leadenhall Market was bustling with lot of outdoor seating for people eating and drinking. but otherwise there just seemed less people around. I came home at 2pm and had a train carrage to myself.

I'd just wander over to st Katherine's docks and see what I felt like at the time, but I'm unorganised and lazy
