World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube London Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation http://bit.ly/1acugNw Restaurants in London, England It might not always have been the case, but London has become one of the most exciting and pioneering dining destinations in the world. With an ever-expanding number of celebrity chefs vying for a record number of Michelin stars, a truly multi-cultural population each bringing their own flavours and expertise to the pot, and the average Londoner expecting high-quality cuisine for their pounds, London's culinary prospects are being pushed higher and higher. Recent years have also seen the rise of the gastro pub, with fantastic food and real ales and beers being served up in beautifully presented pubs all across the capital. The London restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories: Expensive (over £40) Moderate (£20 to £40) Cheap (up to £20) These London restaurant prices are for a three-course meal for one, including tax but not drinks. A service charge of 12.5% will be added to your bill in most restaurants. If service is not included, 10% tipping is expected. Le Gavroche Price: Expensive Since its opening in 1967 by brothers Albert and Michel Roux, the smart, formal, dark and classically French Le Gavroche, with two Michelin stars, has been setting the culinary benchmark for the British restaurant scene. The delectably formed menu features dishes such as stone bass scented with Arabian spices with red rice and a meat jus, and poached and roast veal head and sweetbreads, with pimento, egg and caper dressing. Address: 43 Upper Brook Street, W1, London, England, United Kingdom One-O-One Price: Expensive One-O-One is a restaurant no self-respecting fish enthusiast can afford to ignore. Pascal Proyart's little gem has won countless awards, with its menu stacked full of fresh seafood dishes such as wild Norwegian red king crab, and whole seabass in champagne butter sauce. Meat lovers are also catered for with the likes of organic Derbyshire beef in a red Burgundy sauce, and an exceptional wine list offers the perfect accompaniment whatever the dish. Address: 101 Knightsbridge, SW1, London, England, United Kingdom The Ivy Price: Expensive The Ivy's reputation precedes itself, being well publicised as the favoured haunt of celebrities and socialites. Its prime West End location also lends it to the pre- and post- theatre crowd, who come to feast on its modern European dishes in their droves -- if they can get a seat. Booking is essential, and the more advanced the better (we're talking at least several months here.) Sister restaurant Le Caprice in St James' is equally as impressive. Address: 1-5 West Street, London, England, United Kingdom Canteen Price: Moderate Solid British dishes in a clean and simplistic setting make Canteen is a reliable option for those after a hearty but moderately priced feed. Find perfect pies, tasty stews and a top-notch plate of fish and chips, alongside light, tangy salads, and a delicious selection of puddings and cakes. Canteen also has branches in Canary Wharf, Royal Festival Hall, Baker Street and Covent Garden. Address: 2 Crispin Place, Spitalfields, E1, London, England, United Kingdom St John Price: Moderate This established and perpetually exciting London eatery fervently champions traditional meaty flavours, and if you're up for some fun adventures in offal, then dining here is a thoroughly rewarding endeavour. The menu changes regularly, but expect the likes of deep fried tripe with ketchup, crispy pigs skin with radish and watercress, and chitterlings with dandelion. A whole suckling pig for a group of 14-16 can be arranged with a week's notice. Address: 26 St John Street, London, England, United Kingdom Veeraswamy Price: Moderate A plush interior of dark wood and silver screens offset by coloured glass shades greets visitors to Veeraswamy, the oldest Indian restaurant in the country. Amid the stylish furnishings, find traditional favourites done to perfection alongside more modern creations, and also jazzed up versions of Indian street food. The tables by the window afford great views over Regent Street, and the set lunch deals offer good value for money. Address: 99 Regent Street (entrance on Swallow Street), W1, London, England, United Kingdom ============================== London Videos, London , London Tourism, London Travel Guide, London Vacation, London tours, London Attractions, London Restaurants, London Shopping, London Transport, London Museums, London Nightlife ....
