Places change and so do favorites, cuisine change and so do dishes but still there are some evergreen restaurants which have managed to maintain their glory and presence in the culinary culture of the city. Star chefs have been targeting the city to spread the aroma of their signature dishes. It would be correct to proclaim London as a city having some of the world’s best restaurants.
I present to you a list of top 5 restaurants which I personally found to be the best and are a must try while you are in England. I am sure if any of the readers have been to London, they would easily be able to relate to this.
Gordon Ramsay
Situated on the Royal hospital road, the restaurant requires prior booking. Now that is something common but what would be your reaction if I said the reservation has to be made a month before? This says it all about the restaurant. Even though the Chef has expanded the chain of restaurants, it makes no difference to the quality and elegance which the restaurant has on offer.
The Chutney Mary
Without a doubt, this restaurant is one of the most sumptuous Indian restaurants in London. The restaurant was opened in the year 1990 and continues to dominate others in the league of Indian curries.
I opted to try out the curry platter which gives you a mini version of all the popular dishes of the restaurant. Other things which one should also try from its inventive kitchen are crab claws, seared scallops, tandoori platter along with the exotic chutneys. Make sure you also try out the signature cocktails out there, ‘Bombay Blush’ and ‘Goa on the Rocks’. The restaurant is run by Masala World, which also runs other famous Indian restaurants like Veeraswamy, one of the oldest Indian restaurants in London.
The Wolseley
The Wolseley is one of the most popular restaurants of the city. Even this requires booking well in advance. Fortunately, we got a table after making a spontaneous booking and waiting for about half an hour. The restaurant, which was transformed from an art deco car showroom is now a plush cafe cloaked in the European traditions. Be it a quick bite for breakfast, corporate lunch or a family dinner, the food and ambiance is just perfect for everything. Celebrities like Jack Nicholson are a common sight there. However I was quite unlucky not to spot any of them.
Galvin at Windows
Grab peerless views of the attractions that the English capital has on offer from the 28th floor of the London Hilton. With the likes of Chef Chris Galvin and company, the restaurant has recently earned a Michelin star which helped it become a part of our yummy itinerary. I got to eat one of the finest dishes from the French haute cuisine like the Marinated Loch Fyne Salmon, Dorset crab and Foie gras and truffle. As a chocoholic, I would personally recommend you the Valrhona chocolate fondant for oodles of chocolate.
Quilon Restaurant
The Michelin starred Quilon restaurant is situated in the Taj 51 Buckingham gate suites and residences. You certainly feast like a king here. I was lucky enough to have this restaurant within my hotel. The Quilon serves South West coastal Indian cuisine and has various progressive and ethnic dishes to taste.
If your palate craves for South West coastal Indian cuisine, Quilon is one of the finest places to eat in London.
These restaurants are synonymous to the city’s culinary traditions. So make a point to visit these top shots and take a gastronomical tour of the city. I would love to hear your experiences and explore them the next time I visit the city.
