5 of London’s Most Unmissable Places for Food and Drink

London is so vast in size that it’s easy to miss out on the best restaurants and cafes. As franchisee for Belvoir lettings and regular visitor to the capital, Harry Dhaliwal is constantly seeking out the most distinctive venues for business meetings, dinner, or even just a quick coffee. 

So, here are Harry’s five interesting recommendations for food and drink that you won’t want to miss in London:

Dishoom

One of the last remaining Bombay Cafes, Dishoom is far more than your average Indian restaurant. Dishoom serves a wide variety of Indian classics all day long from breakfast till dinner. If you want a really unforgettable breakfast in London, then try Dishoom’s signature dish, the house porridge served with Medjool dates.

Hoi Polloi

In London’s trendy Shoreditch, you won’t struggle to find somewhere stylish to dine. What will prove challenging however is finding a place where style is matched by substance. Hoi Polloi is one contender putting the local competition to shame.

Despite the relatively high prices, Hoi Polloi’s varied contemporary menu and quality produce means it has received glowing reviews from London critics.

Golden Hind

For some traditionally English food, try the Golden Hind fish and chip shop. Serving up classic fish and chips in rolled up paper, the Golden Hind in Marylebone has been faithfully serving the people of London since 1914.

Monmouth Coffee House

If you’re not looking for a full meal, then the Monmouth coffee house is the perfect café. With three locations in Covent Garden, the Borough, and Bermondsey, Monmouth coffee houses provide a relaxed atmosphere and a rich array of ethically sourced coffee varieties. The welcoming character and nature of Monmouth coffee houses have made them favourites with professionals like Harry Dhaliwal.

The Circus

If it’s an unforgettable experience you’re looking for, then The Circus provides a full evening of spectacular entertainment. The Circus is more than just a name; it actually uses circus performers who dance, hang from the ceiling, and backflip around your dinner. Once the dinner is over, The Circus turns the music up and invites its diners to join in the party too. The Circus serves a high quality pan-Asian menu, but with all the spectacular acrobatics going on, the food’s not the main attraction.
