Londons Mouth Watering Food Experience
In London, the amount of absolutely mouthwatering food experiences you can enjoy is limited only by the capacity of your stomach. With this mini-itinerary, taste the range of what London has to offer:
For breakfast, embrace the traditional—the hearty English breakfast. While many may recommend fasting for several days before heading for London institution Simpsons-in-the-Strand for the “Deadly Sins” breakfast (which tastes as decadent as it sounds), we think a full English breakfast is the perfect preparation for the day of heavy food touring ahead. Simpsons-in-the-Strand is at 100 Strand, nearest the Charing Cross tube station.
Specialty Shops. What you can’t eat today, you can always take back to the hotel with you, in case you’d like a midnight snack. Any foodie knows that some of the best cheese in the world is produced in England, and Neals Yard Dairy (17 Shorts Gardens, in Covent Garden) is a great place to sample the choicest selections. Those with a sweet tooth should stop off at Charbonnel et Walker (173 New Bond Street, in the Mayfair district).
The company was established in 1875 and is one of Britain’s earliest chocolate producers. If you prefer one-stop shopping, you could hardly do better than Fortnum and Mason’s Food Hall, in the building that been at 181 Piccadilly for nearly 300 years.
Lunch: Hope you’ve managed to walk off that breakfast! How about a light lunch at Abeno Too (15-18 Great Newport St, Covent Garden)? It specializes in okonomiyaki, which is a Japanese pancake filled with veggies and seafood. This hearty meal will cost you under £10, leaving plenty left over for…
Afternoon tea. There are a number of places to indulge in this classic British ritual, perhaps the most famous being The Ritz at 100 Piccadilly, Mayfair. Enjoy an assortment of delicious sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, and of course, the finest selection of teas.
Dinner. Now that Gordon Ramsay has become a household name in America, there’s no better time to sample the restaurant empire that’s made him famous. The flagship of his empire—Restaurant Gordon Ramsay—is at 68 Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea. Just remember the strict reservation policy: two months to the day before you would like to dine, and only by telephone: 0 1 144-207-352-4441
