Lunch in London
See All Lists
1. Yoshino
I was understandably skeptical when the preface to coming here for lunch was "this is the best Japanese in London!"
Now that I've been twice, I gotta say, I don't think that was an overstatement.
For me, Yoshino ranks right up there with Defune in…More »
2. Great Queen Street
Our incredibly knowledgeable server had a fact-filled and eloquent answer for each and every one of our many questions. I love when I leave a restaurant feeling like I've received something of an epicurean education whilst inside.
Not one to turn down…More »
3. Boundary
London E2 7DD
020 7729 1051
Categories:
Modern European,
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Shoreditch
After nearly two weeks on the road, I needed a vacation. At home, in London.
Seeing as how it was an unseasonably sunny day in Shoreditch, the Boundary rooftop seemed a sweet site to settle in. I took the lift up, snagged a sofa and ordered gazpacho,…More »

London E8

Categories:
Sandwiches,
Vietnamese,
Food Stands,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Haggerston
I lament the lack of good sandwich offerings in London regularly. In a city where so many of the sandwiches are pre-made (or worse, pre-FILLED) I often crave the simple goodness of a sandwich that doesn't come into being until I order it.
Today I…More »
5. Hawksmoor Seven Dials
London WC2H 9JG
020 7420 9390
Categories:
Bars,
British,
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Covent Garden
A big fan of both Hawksmoor locations, I prefer this one for group meals. The large round tables and expansive dining room just lend themselves to conversation (and sharing!)
After multiple visits, I'm firm in the belief that Hawksmoor do the best…More »
6. Hawksmoor
London E1 6BJ
020 7426 4850
Categories:
Steakhouses,
British
Neighbourhood: Spitalfields
Holy Sunday roast, Hawksmoor!
With Mum in town I wanted her to experience one of my favourite Britishisms: a proper Sunday lunch. I called all around: the Holly Bush, the Dock Kitchen, the Garrison, the Wells and all were fully booked or only had…More »
7. Albion
London E2 7DD
020 7729 1051
British food gets a bad rap. However, I'm sure if the naysayers were treated to lunch at Albion they'd change their doubting minds. Especially if they feasted on the beef dripping chips, cauliflower cheese and kedgeree at this charming Shoreditch…More »
8. Pho
Pho could become a habit. Why?
Because it does so many things right:
Spare space and it's a fine place to dine alone or with a couple of pals
Roasted garlic in the pho a nice touch
Veggie spring rolls were creative and delicious
Roast chicken in pho ga…More »
9. The Clerkenwell Kitchen
London EC1R 0AT
020 7101 9959
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
British
Neighbourhood: Clerkenwell
At last, an American-style brownie in Clerkenwell!
And not only that, this lunchtime gem serves up stellar soups (like mushroom and chestnut and leek and potato) and sandwiches. I took my mum and she raved about the pheasant casserole and mash.

10. Beppe's
London EC1A 9HY
020 7236 7822
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Farringdon
...At last, my made to order sandwich has come along,
My hungry days are over,
And life is like a song...
A lovely antidote to the pre-packaged in plastic sandwiches with their soggy bread and overly heavy condiment(ing)! Beppes is not a looker, to be…More »
11. Tajima-Tei
Sushi Taro in Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. is my favourite Japanese lunch in the world. Yoshino in Piccadilly is my favourite Japanese lunch in London.
Tajima-Tei's a lot closer to my office than both of the aforementioned and supplies competent…More »
12. Nusa
This small shop, on Old Street where it meets Goswell Road, churns out warming cups of worldly flavours ranging on a recent visit from Mexican to Goan to North African.
It's a bit further afield than my usual soup stop so I see less of it. The salads…More »
13. Shiso
London EC1A 9ET
Categories:
Japanese,
Sushi Bars
Neighbourhoods: Barbican, Farringdon
Not a lot of things make me happier than a good chicken katsu curry. Except maybe a good and spicy chicken katsu curry with lots of potatoes. Shiso provided me with just such a curry today at lunch and as such earned itself a place in my lunch…More »
14. Pizza East
In Pizza East I've found my go to Sunday brunch spot in London, a conclusion I arrived at after noshing here two Sundays in a row.
Their pizzas are thin crust with a thick doughy edge - not consistent with an Italian style - but tasty to be sure. And…More »
