Restaurants in London in general Reviews

We have just been to this restaurant and it was awful.
I ordered squid with garlic and lemongrass which turned out to be a tempura (no mention of that on the menu, quite stale tasting too).
My boyfriend ordered beef satay which looked and tasted like black bean sauce.
We sent this back and received the same thing again which I refused to pay for.
We ordered mixed vegetable which had an msg sauce.
Made a very quick exit from a disappointing meal.
My boyfriend had to find something else to eat after.
Really bad value for money, as the portions are tiny.

Introduction I love going out for dinner and unfortunately have been spoiled in the past because I lived abroad and on my expatriate wage, I could afford to (and invariably did) go out for dinner several times a week. Then I came back to London, where I earn not very much over and above basic living costs, and so sadly had to say goodbye to ...  Read the complete review

Jamie Oliver's restaurant Fifteen was eagerly waited for, after we'd all seen the effort, stress and money that went into developing it in the TV series 'Jamie’s Kitchen'. Jamie opened the restaurant as a means of training young people in London who wanted to be chefs, but had not had the opportunities in life to help them realise their ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, yes I do live in Crouch End and do not claim to be in the least bit unbiased. BUT having lived here my whole life, surely I have a valuble outlook? The best bit about C.E are the restaurants. Many a trepid explorer has died in the quest to find out just how many restaurants there are altogether. I challenge you to ...  Read the complete review

This op evolved as a result of MALU asking if I knew of any nice Teashops which could be found in the centre of London, other than those found in the big hotels. I spent ages searching the web, and could come up with very few. There seem to be plenty in seaside towns, like Bournemouth and Brighton, and in big cities like York and Bath, but ...  Read the complete review

As an adopted Londoner, who has come from friendlier climes, it frequently distresses me that the level of service in restaurants in London is tolerated by the clients. It is probably not helped by an excess of demand over supply, but the customers have now created an environment where service is an exception rather than the rule. ...  Read the complete review

I've often found that it can be difficult to find somewhere that sells decent food at reasonable prices in the Piccadilly Circus area. It sometimes feels like you're forced to either fork out a fortune in a ridiculously overpriced restaurant or grab a sweaty burger from McDonalds. I've recently discovered a really nice pizza/pasta ...  Read the complete review

Dooyoo have a special Birthday or Anniversary coming up? If so then I would highly recommend a dinner at London's Ivy restaurant. Situated just minutes from Leicester Square tube station and a favourite haunt of A list celebs, if you are lucky you may find yourself dining next to Madonna or Victoria Beckham. Although the ...  Read the complete review

Open Tuesday to Sunday, and generally packed out for Sunday lunch, the restaurant can be combined with a walk in the park to make a pleasant family day out. The main courses include roast dinners, fish courses, veggie ...  Read the complete review

If you dont know Florians then looking at it from the outside you would be forgiven to think that this was just a run of the mill winebar. However once you are inside you realise that yes the front is a lovely lively often full to the brim winebar, up a few steps at the back and you are inside Florians restaurant. The menu here is always amazing ...  Read the complete review

For the last seven years a friend and I have met once a month for dinner. We have tried many different restaurants in the Blackheath/ Lewisham area and have found one so superb that I feel compelled to tell you about it. The restaurant is situated in the heart of Blackheath village and is called "Bella Vista" Although predominantly ...  Read the complete review
