We’re just going to come out and say it: British food doesn’t have the best reputation. The foggy birthplace of the modern lingua franca is well known for grease-laden pies, goopy stews, coal-black puddings and fried eggs covered in beans. But the commonwealth also has, as many of our visitors can tell you, plenty to satisfy even the pickiest eater. The next time you find yourself in the poshest of all world capitals, take it from us -- this foursome is worth your time.
- Wagamama: Our top restaurant in London is casual, sparse and popular with late-night diners. Plus, it’s a chain, so you don't have to worry about endless rides on the Tube.
- Belgo Centraal: Across the pond, the world-famous chefs of Belgium are known for their waffles and fries. If you're stuck in London, head to Belgo Centraal and see what the fuss is about.
- Café in the Crypt: Dead bodies and good eats generally don’t go together, which is why this restaurant, nestled under Trafalgar Square, is quite impressive indeed. Excellent reviews of authentic British cuisine? We’re in.
- Gordon Ramsay: Does anyone need our recommendation for this one? Well, if you insist: “The ‘potato fondant’ that came with my lamb was possibly the best potato anything that I have ever eaten,” writes bugg23. Not to mention: Ramsay!
