Food For Thought, WC2H

Go Early/Late To Avoid The Queue

Gareth S. says:

Good quality dishes from good quality ingredients.The quiches are always great but so is everything else - I've yet to have a bad dish from here. It's not particularly cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Takeaway service is well-mannered and efficient but queuing at peak times is the norm.

The "Strawberry Scrunch" is always tempting - a crunchy biscuit base with fresh cream, bananas and strawberries. Nice.

Hummus Bros, W1F

Tasty tasty veg (with meat)

Ross B. says:

I always liked the idea of this place but was never sure if I'd like the reality (would chickpeas be too bland to base a meal around!?!?!) - having now been I can happily say that the reality is indeed good!

A big bowl of humus with meat in the middle is a tasty and filling meal; I've seen people complain about prices but it all seemed good to me. I was also really impressed with the pitta breads (totally unlike any pitta I have had before) and salads (fresh, crispy and delicious).

A very cool place for lunch and certainly somewhere to go when you are fancying a change from your standard lunch fair.

Incognico, WC2H

A fantastic restaurant

Julia H. says:

I have eaten here on a number of occassions and find the food to be fantastic. The staff are friendly, it has a very French feel and their 3 course meal offer is great if you want to dine in a posh restaurant before going to the theatre.

Clos Maggiore, WC2E

Deeply romantic restaurant

Julia H. says:

I have eaten here a couple of times and found the food to be exquisite. They do a 3 course offer which is great value for money. The decor is very romantic, with it being quite dark and bushy! The waiters were very professional and the homemade bread lovely.

Admiral Byng, EN6

A really good value pub

Julia H. says:

This pub is my local and it's great. As with all Wetherspoon pubs, the wine, beer and food is stupidly cheap, and the food quality is second to none. I would recommend Tuesdays - Steak night. The steaks are excellent and I wouldn't have a steak anywhere else now. Steak night is £5.49 and includes a drink - is a no brainer really. The staff are always friendly, however are run off their feet most of the time, therefore the tables can be a bit sticky sometimes! All in all, a great local and I'd be hard pushed to move away from it!
