Best burger ever. I didn't share.

I just had the best burger I've had in London here today. It's miles ahead of Haché, Byron, Meat Mission, and Bill's - the other places for burgers nearby. You can tell a lot of love has gone into these burgers, they use only minced steak meat to make their huge patties, then pile on high quality cheese, delicious homemade relish (I had the caramelised onion), thick tomato, perfect maple bacon, and salad greens, in a beautiful fresh bun. It was £8.50, but should have been about £15 it was so good.

Rooftop terrace.

Go past the many kebab houses on Hoxton Street and you'll stumble into this place. And when I say stumble, I mean it. The uneven floors and treacherous stairs are a quaint reminder of the area's humbler architecture. But brave it and you'll be treated to an eclectic array of world cuisine. The morning we had a full English breakfast they were prepping for a Vietnamese Pho and a Spaghetti & meatballs. Place is a favorite of the local Polish builders too so you know it's budget friendly and offers hearty fare. Food is fresh and the proprietor is super friendly.

I am so disappointed that I have only just learned about this wonderful cafe!! I travel to London…read moreperiodically for work. On my last visit, a coworker told me about this little gem, which is not far from Lloyd's. It was a freezing cold day, I didn't have a coat, but I still went on the journey to Konditor & Cook. They have such a huge variety of cakes, brownies, and other sweet treats, along with coffees and other beverages. I got the lemon cake, which came highly recommended - it was amazing! I also had a hot chocolate (I don't drink coffee often), but my coworker had a latte and it looked good. This shop is now on my regular rotation in London...it's always a great day when you have cake for lunch!

I always stop into Konditor & Cook on the back of the Gherkin for a little treat when I'm craving…read moresome good homemade food. I know they are typically known for their cakes but the lunches here give you quick access to homemade classic dishes. I usually get the enchilladas, chili con carne, fish pie (super good!) or one of the daily quiches. The menu changes daily and there is rarely a time I don't find something to drool over. If you go I highly recommend the Boston Brownie, Raspberry Chequerboard Cake and the Millionaire Shortbread from the bakery. My only issue: Take the mushrooms out of the Mac n Cheese! Seriously, who puts mushrooms in mac n cheese???
