Eating in London?

[thegreatsoprendo]

I'm off to London this weekend with my girlfriend, and am looking for a restaurant for Saturday night that's a) not too expensive b) where I won't need to book. Any recommendations? Alternatively, are there any particular areas that have a particularly high concentration of decent restaurants?

No curry houses please, she doesn't like spicy food ().

www.toptable.com should get you a good deal and a recommendation

If you want cheap, simple and tasty then find a branch of Carluccios for good Italian food.

Also give www.squaremeal.co.uk to narrow your search by food, location and budget.

Wimpy, if you can find one.
Although your GF might not be so much longer if you do take her to a burger bar though.

Cheap and Carluccio's in the same sentence Does not compute!

Fairly central, we're staying in Lancaster Gate (i.e. Hyde Park).

Busaba ethai (sp?) just of Oxford Street. Is a big-bench style thai place. The food is lovely and there's always a big que outside (a good sign)

IMO it's not too bad for central & the food is good. If I'm forced to go shopping in Kingston with the missus, a Carluccios breakfast beforehand is her bartering tool

Yeah have a look at the a la carte prices at locanda locatelli by comparison!

Get down to Clapham.

Seek out an Argentinian steakhouse by the name of La Pampa.

Alternatively book a table at Popes Eye on Upper Richmond Road in Putney.

Either of them much of a muchness cost wise, both excellent quality meat.

Far superior to anywhere else I've hoped for a good steak such as Smiths Of Smithsfield, the Rib Room at the Dorchester etc etc.

And how much do you mean by "not expensive"?

You can eat from £5 a head to over £500 a head in London, with good food at every level inbetween.

Is the Oxo tower the same place as fudge street?

If so, I'd agree.
