I'm going to London (and Stratford upon Avon) for work. The way the flights worked out, I have a few days to see London and eat some food, before having to move on or have restaurants chosen for me.
I'd like to have British food while there, because we have a lot of the Zuma/Nobu/Milos/trendy fish places back home. I like fine dining, so I'm okay with spending.
Some places the hotel recommended for British traditional: Berners Tavern Rules (rules.co.uk)
Also some French suggestions were: Greenhouse La Gavroche The Ledbury
Any thoughts on these, locals?
Also what about lunch? Someone recommended The Market Tavern which is near my hotel/Hyde Park.
La gav is excellent Rules is lovely and terribly british The Dorchester is great, i used to work at the grill there But seriously get a table at The Ned, it is fucking ridiculously varied and there is nothing like it on the planet
Jack Peterson
Thank you!
The Ned is a restaurant within the hotel The Ned? Or you just mean try some places in there?
I'll try The Gav and Rules, thank you!
Any recommendations for lunch? I'm staying the Four Seasons Park Lane. Any comfy British Pubs around there?
Jose Mitchell
>rules.co.uk Also when it comes to British food, what should I try? [spoiler]I'm a tiny grill so sometimes really heavy stuff like traditional swabian german food I can't manage to eat much of and it just overwhelms me[/spoiler]
Benjamin Gomez
Definitely The Dorchester. Go there and eat, it's amazing.
Jack Hernandez
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester? The French one?
Thomas Foster
I have to shower and get ready, really appreciate the feedback anons. I'll be back in like 30 minutes if anyone else has any suggestions.
Xavier Ramirez
Barrafina is highest rated in london for good reason, good luck getting in though
St. John's is a legend in the industry for good reason
Clove Club got best British in 50best recently
Lyle's is good
Julian Fisher
Sunday lunch at the Flask in Hampstead. Walk on the heath first to build up an appetite. Just good trad cuisine, not fine dining, but so cosy.
Logan Roberts
>Barrafina is highest rated in london for good reason, good luck getting in though Spanish tapas is something I eat a lot of, but I'll check it out if it's that amazing.
>St. John's is a legend in the industry for good reason The one on Maltby st? Is that good for lunch as well? I'm looking for some great lunch places too..
>Clove Club got best British in 50best recently >Lyle's is good Thanks so much!
I love cosy, I will do this Sunday! I have a dinner meeting that evening, but was looking at what to do in the afternoon and morning so thanks for that.
Carson Gray
The KFC Zinger Stacker is a must try.
Connor Baker
I have a free afternoon and night in Stratford-upon-Avon also, any recommendations?
William Ward
Pedros in kentish Town if you want traditional breakfast. Porkys for ribs is lovely near Camden
Landon Ortiz
Is there anything closer to Hyde Park for traditional breakfast?
Asher Bennett
Christ m8 that looks terrible u tryin to kill the lass?
Sebastian Fisher
Doesn't your hotel serve breakfast?
Noah Allen
Of course. I normally don't even eat breakfast (I do 16:8 IF most of the time), but, when I travel on the days I'm not working I try to try a bunch of stuff.
Jason Anderson
Well, their 'full english' is as traditional as you're going to get without finding a proper greasy spoon, and good luck getting served spit-free food in one of those with your american accent and fancy clothes.
Juan Turner
I just meant because it was pretty far away, especially with traffic. As far as getting served spit-free, on the 4th of July, with an American accent, and my fancy cloths.... not sure the hotel can save me. :o) I try to be a pleasant tourist though. Although if you'd recommend I stick with the hotels, I appreciate the advice!
Justin Morris
For breakfast, at least.
Also, the only guy I know that knows of greasy spoons is asleep because he's probably got work in the morning.
Jacob Morris
Does it need to be a greasy spoon?
Chase Morgan
y-you ok bro?
Gabriel Powell
>Be American >Go to England for work >This is a good decision >I have a great future >Pass me another lager mate
Gabriel Rodriguez
Greasy spoons have the best breakfasts., but they're not for you.
What you need to look for is 'all day breakfast'.
Ryder Rodriguez
There's a place kinda like your pic op...across from UK parliament building, it's a halal slaughter house, what christian brits call London bridge...
Jose Peterson
LONDON O N D O N
Brandon Ortiz
It's actually been a while since I've been to London, so curious if this muslim-takeover is quite like /pol/ describes.
Speaking of beer. Are there any good British beers?
Grayson Butler
Don't go to the UK. They have a serious kebab problem atm.
Adam Miller
>curious if this muslim-takeover is quite like /pol/ describes. Pol don't know shit. They don't leave their momma's basement. It's just psychos with vans, which you were at risk from anyway.
> Beer Walk into a pub, try what's on tap until you find one you like.
Ryan Carter
The Black & Blue steakhouse at London Bridge does a nice steak I hear.
Jacob Turner
>go to London restaurant >order burger >get run over by shipping truck >get stabbed by Muslim 3/10 would not recommend
Asher Thomas
Go to Beigel Bake over on Brick Lane, and get yourself a salt beef bagel.
I mean, look at this motherfucker.
Brandon Baker
>go to london >find a nice comfy pub >order a cold one on draft >enjoy a warm plate of traditional cuisine >truck drives through the window and kills you >nasir jumps out and stabs four more
William Gonzalez
>be british >cant cut bread with knife without a permit >walk outside >get stabbed with knife
Alexander Bell
That does look good! It's beef, cheddar, and that looks like some onion?
Hunter Howard
t. mudslim
Luis Turner
That's mustard
Henry Morris
Even better. Damn that must be super salty.
Logan Ortiz
t. Poltard who needs to go back.
Jonathan Johnson
I went to Cricklewood to buy some underwear and it was full of durkadurkas. They're taking over London one borough at a time. I really hope they all get deported back to their shitty part of the World.
Mason Adams
OP is long dead, why are you replying?
Noah Parker
I'm not dead! I'm still here. I went to sleep, now have to run a friend to the airport, but otherwise will be lurking all day and would love any other suggestions.
Ryder Stewart
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
That looks very tasty. I'm going to be so full there, you guys are as bad as we are in the states.
Evan Young
If you can get a table go to Scotts for the dressed crab and a couple of glasses of Black Velvet. It's the best seafood in the UK.
Joshua Wood
sorry, it was more a topical comment than a recommendation
Asher Perez
It's kind of awkward, isn't it?
Cooper Watson
Thank you! Noted!
Is it really nerdy to have a (small) binder when I travel with all of this?
Levi Cooper
Not exactly British cuisine but if you don't mind spending a bit, it's one of the best places i've eaten in the city. Recommend the masala prawns and the black dahl
Jacob Ortiz
It's called Dishoom btw, forgot to say. It's near King's Cross station so it's pretty easy to reach
Samuel Taylor
Thank you! What a cool interior also.
Christopher Moore
pajeet pls
Ethan Kelly
There are plenty of restaurants in the Hotel, all are fantastically put together. Also top tier drinking and a breathtaking building The Marquis of Westminster is a nice wee pub (near Victoria) with good food, but anywhere independent will likely have some classic pub grub and roasts on Sundays Agreed
Also Wright brothers in Soho is the place to go for seafood; cozy and cool, with a famously high standard Brits are good at Stouts, and bitter cask ale. Ask CAMRA for places with beer in cask
And if you have time this eve, Ronnie scotts is an institution worth visiting
Adrian Roberts
Thanks for this.
Maybe a strange question, but I'm pretty small, is everything pretty big portions there?
Easton Martinez
t. triggered mudslim
Tyler Robinson
t. Poltard who needs to kill themselves because they really genuinely think that racism is inherently funny.
Hunter Sullivan
Depends on where; fine dining will be much the same as the rest of Europe, but pubs and the like are wont to fill your entire table with tasty things If you are about tomorrow and need a chef guide I am off tomorrow aye
Matthew Turner
Thanks. I'm not coming until next month, appreciate the offer though. Planning a bit ahead in case certain places are difficult to reserve - plus had a quiet weekend.
Elijah Fisher
t. retard who talks in plural when talking to only 1 individual
David Garcia
Jesus fucking Christ This is not reddit, but this entire thread stinks of it Fuck off OP, I hope you get run down ok London Bridge or something
This thread is cancer
Lucas Hughes
wow REWD
Jordan Myers
Kill yourself.
God forbid anyone talk about food on a food board...
Xavier Diaz
Go to Tayyabs in the East End for a nice pakistani curry. The kebabs are perfectly sliced, as your neck might be if the local sharia patrol catch you.
Lucas Brooks
I seriously don't get why OP would be dumb enough to go to London right now. London has terrorist attacks MONTHLY. They don't have their shit together security wise and it is only getting worse.
Hope she is getting paid well to have her life on the line like that.
Alexander Sanders
Please go back to your containment thread :^)
Oliver Rivera
You could try the food court at Camden Market if you're into that sort of thing, lots of interesting things to find there
Carson Ross
It's the part and parcel, m8.
Joshua Ross
What's Camden Market? It looks like a small shopping district?
Bentley Morris
I'm not too worried. I've been to more dangerous places. It is concerning, but, I hope that they get things under control a bit more soon.
Sebastian Cooper
It's a large market in London, you can have a wander and pick up some surprisingly cheap shit that was probably stolen, there's a food court in the middle with loads of food stalls, last time I went was a few years ago and there were loads of niche east Asian stalls
Camden Carter
Interesting, thank you!
Landon Taylor
I second this. Go buy some cheap trinkets, some bud, and eat delicious ethnic foods
Luke Harris
u lads tryina give this lass the shits?
Dylan Garcia
w-where can I buy the bud there?
Samuel Myers
i have information that op actually died. very sad. rip
Hunter Wood
Walk around long enough and you'll be offered some sort of drug from a passerby eventually, hopefully before you get shanked by 14 year olds in shell suits
Colton Hernandez
Thanks for being my friend while I was alive. :o)
Ah, okay, too scary nevermind. I'll just have a coffee.
Liam Clark
I walked into a shop run by young Arab guys who looked chill and asked them where tha bud at? They told me where to go and who to talk to. Super easy.
Colton Brown
Where's that everything's fine burning house image
Cooper Martinez
Go back to pol. Nothing is on fire, except maybe america.
Evan Ross
Weekly terror attacks don't seem right to me, but what do I know
Isaiah Wright
Dude, the death toll and wounded from that latest terror attack are less than one days toll for 2 US cities - every single day.
Connor Bennett
And almost all of those deaths are negroes and other trash killing eachother over drug deals etc. It's not just random teens being gunned down or stabbed on the street.
Logan Nelson
That's really nice, but doesn't take anything away from little girls and innocent pedestrians being mowed down and blown up weekly.
Wyatt Moore
I am pretty sure he's talking about cager carnage, not gun violence
Or did I miss something about the recent attacks? Did they use firearms? I thought it was murdercages >select all squares containing cars until there are none left If only it was that easy :(
Gavin Parker
>t. """guy""" who wears spandex
Zachary Cook
It's ok to be turned on by my ass, user-kun.
William Gomez
Just part of living in a big city, man. You know, like Seoul or Prague.
Matthew Cook
Prague has monthly terrorist attacks?
Lincoln Thompson
>hey things just keep getting worse and worse in Europe but it doesn't matter because some other area of the world is also shitty
If your house started flooding, would you say it doesn't matter because some people live on the streets?
You are not me. :) Read the OP, I'm not even there yet. I'm GOING.
Is Piccadilly cool to check out? I always wanted to see it during Christmas time...
Oliver Cox
Just make them harder to obtain.
Easton King
>Is Piccadilly cool to check out? I always wanted to see it during Christmas time...
The Advert TV banners are being modernised at the moment so its not quite the same, but I'm sure its still cool. Central london is easy to commute around so if you think it might be worth a visit you should go.
Chase Flores
Sounds good! Thanks.
Anthony Thomas
People are perfectly content to let cagers murder people yearly at a rate far higher than the death toll of all US personnel in the Vietnam war. Hell, they fudge license tests so alzheimers riddled oldfucks can still drive. How often do you hear about some 80 year old vegetable cager slamming into a public area? Every. Fucking. Day.
Kayden Richardson
I'm a cyclist but I'm not such a faggot to use words like "cagers" when referring to cars, and I literally take it in the ass.
It is amazing when you put automotive deaths in context with other things we fear, but this is a psychological war more than anything else. Expecting an economy based on people driving to work and trucking to just stop is ridiculous, I'm hoping that self-driving cars make things a lot safer. I fear that will be a long time though.
