The UK is home to a very competitive food scene, with diners, restaurants, bistros and cafes on every corner! Whatever your budget, there really is little room to go wrong when it comes to finding where to eat, but if you want to have a taste of the sublime, we have picked our top four to help narrow down your search:
1.) Amaya
The Amaya restaurant is South London s a Michelin starred Indian restaurant, the first Indian restaurant to win such an accolade in fact. The interior is superb, with every effort being made to make you feel like a king, with chandeliers, ultra modern mood lighting, fine cutlery and designer plates and glasses: you know as soon as you enter that you have found somewhere special. If that isn’t enough, the food is mouthwatering, addictive and incredibly special. As Indian food is the UK’s most popular cuisine, you cannot possibly visit without a taste of Indian food at its British styled best.
2.) Busaba Eathai
Busaba Eathai is a very special chain restaurant which has earned an almost cult like following in London due to the environment it creates. The food is very simple, but very tasty: however what keeps bringing people back again and again is the co-eating experience you only get in Busaba. Enter, and you will be led to a table which is not exclusively yours: you will be sharing with other diners so that whether you are one, or two or even twelve, you will feel like you are in a group, and that you are both anonymous, intimate and in privacy all at the same time. A great experience, and really good Thai food cooked fresh to order.
3.) Koya
Koya is a must visit restaurant in London, mainly because it embodies everything about Japanese food that has taken London by storm. Basic, simple and with interesting and creative dishes: the Koya environment and menu will be one that you will see being attempted to be reproduced in many other Japanese styled restaurants in London. Koya is the one to visit, mainly because it is the leader of the Japanese style and menu, and it’s very simple and basic layout will have you surprised at how full it always is.
4.) L’Anima
Award winning Italian food is next on the food travelers hit list, and with that we have L’Anima: a lovely Italian restaurant which has won acclaim for its authenticity, Since the health revolution which brought with it Japanese food, Italian cuisines of pastas and pizzas has not been so popular with the British in recent years. L’Anima, however, has managed to buck this trend with their fresh and flavorsome menu that has proved a winner with nearly every food critic that has walked through their doors. A brilliant find!
