Not sure what pulled me in the most - the fact that the owner Angela Hartnett boasted a Michelin Star or that the 3 course lunch was only £21 but needless to say I was NOT disappointed. Walking in, the atmosphere is bright, warm and welcoming and our waiter (I forgot to ask his name but a red-headed young man) was absolutely wonderful. He greeted us, took our coats and entertained us just enough without taking too much time away from our meal. He offered great suggestions for the food and wine alike! We had the most amazing meal, between the salad, the mackerel, the rigatoni, the pork oh my! The flavors were so rich and distinct, even down to the honey whipped cream on our desert I had never had anything quite like it. This was the best meal I had in London, and I can't wait to go back!

Everything on the beach closed so early, and after a long day we were starving, sweaty, and tired. We found Spaghetti House tucked behind a university and decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did because it was worth every minute of the wait. Our server, Clara, was fantastic. I asked her what the top three dishes were, and she confidently said, "Everything." I thought she was joking, but she wasn't lying. Everything we tried was a 10 out of 10. My boyfriend got the lasagna, and it was thick, hearty, and full of flavor. I asked her to make me a shrimp pasta with pink sauce and to make it spicy, and it came out perfect. The portions were huge, the food was fresh, and the flavors were incredible. For dessert, we shared their homemade Italian ice cream in cookies and cream flavor, and it came in the cutest little presentation. This place is a hidden gem. The food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. If you're ever in Saint Martin, don't miss Spaghetti House. You'll leave full and happy. Their prices are so reasonable as well.

Gorgeous Italian restaurant with absolutely delicious food and warm service…read more We chanced upon Teca while walking around westbourne grove and the menu enticed us in. They have a lovely menu with some unique items you don't find everywhere in London - mainly some fun pasta shapes we had to cheekily google. We split the burrata started which was absolutely heavenly. They source the cheese from Sicily and have it delivered fresh daily which explained why it was so good. The bread basket came with ciabatta and some cool thin fried bread from the south of italy. Even the olive oil was high quality - clearly a lot of thought being put into sourcing of each component of their menu. We tried pastas as the main and were both very happy - perfectly cooked and flavourful but not too overwhelming. I ended the lunch with a cappuccino with came with little biscotti. The cappuccino wasn't amazing but it was a great way to end an incredible meal. The restaurant even treated us to Bellinis on the house which was really a charming touch! The best part is how affordable the meal was for fantastic products and really attentive service. Would definitely recommend!

Another beautiful find, this one requires a shout-out to a gluten intolerant friend of mine (big up…read morethe allergies!) We were meeting up as a group of 5 old uni friend and were looking for suitable places somewhere fairly central. We hit upon this little gem that does 50% off food Monday - Friday 7pm - 9:45pm. WIN And they said they could cater for all diets so we went along. This little underground bar & restaurant seats maximum 50 people and was nicely full (we made a reservation just to be sure) on a Tuesday night, so that's a good sign to start with! Really friendly staff who were so helpful about the allergies and generally recommending dishes to us, you can't fault the service here. Based down the road from the Monument, we rocked surrounded by city workers in full suits heading for the nearest pub (I suppose their jobs must be pretty stressful!). We sat down to bread and oil/ balsamic vinegar, always a nice touch whe you don't have to ask for that. They unfortauntely had just run out of gluten-free bread, shame. We had a couple of bottle of wines, sampling the red and white varieties. I'm normally a white drinker, but I actually preferred the red this time, very mellow and soft (the white was a touch more tart). You have to have at least 2 courses to get the deal of 50% off so we opted for starter & main, thinking that the pudding stomach would kick in anyway so we could have it too (got to love that pudding stomach!) I went for tuna carpaccio with dill creme fraiche and a caper dressing, followed by Lamb shank off the bone with corainder and carrot puy lentils. They were both delicious! The tuna could have been seared a touch more but was beautifully thin and tasty. The lamb, well that was incredible! Melt in your mouth soft and packed with juices and flavour that were just soaked up by the lentil mix. Friends had wood pigeon, veal, guinea fowl aplenty and all were uttering those same delicious yummy sounds that I was. So much so that the pudding stomach was not needed this time, super full! Then the bill came and it was a measly £25 including service charge (which we were more than happy to pay!). I will be back here very soon. Excellent

Good place to stop for lunch if you are by St. Paul's Cathedral…read more Located on a cozy little street, this restaurant is tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Order the fish and chips - so good and such a large portion. If I was in this area I would be a regular customer here. The service was great as well. We celebrated a friends birthday on that day so we ordered a dessert. All of the servers joined us in singing Happy Birthday and were happy to do so. Thanks for a lovely experience. If I am ever back in the area, I'd be sure to visit again.

Quick glance: + great for large parties…read more+ good food + good lunch venue + traditional pub grub with modern presentation The Duke & Duchess is a stone throw away from St Paul's Cathedral and makes a great lunch spot for tourists. But perhaps its location on a side street means it's not swamped by people reading maps, which is great news for local city workers for lunch looking for either light bites or bigger meals at a reasonable price. The food itself is served in a modern way but without the pretension. The chef takes great care in the freshness of ingredients and quality of overall meal. At my last visit I had a fishcake which was mostly fish, not full of mushy potato. The venue is also fantastic for larger parties as they can push the tables together to accommodate virtually any sized group, and yet you don't feel claustrophobic even when there are several parties going on at once (as it was the case during my last visit just before Christmas). It's also a great place to catch up one on one with friends, with a selection of drinks and wine on offer.

This is a nice little restaurant tucked away from too much of the busy city life…read more We came here, mid-week so was relatively quiet. Staff were very friendly and prompt in taking orders and clearing the table. Food was delicious. I had arancini balls which were delightfully crispy on the outside with lovely soft risotto rice inside. Decent size portion for a starter. I then went on to the Ravioli. Al dente cooked. Again, very tasty my only complaint was not enough but, I think that was because I was fairly hungry that evening. I then went on to Chocolate fondant. Crispy on the outside, beautifully presented and soft chocolate spilling out. Pricing decent for city end restaurant. Nice restaurant décor wise. The have upstairs and downstairs. With a larger party seated downstairs, there was no disruption to the smaller dinner parties going on upstairs. My only 'complaint' was that it was a little chilly in the restaurant. But, I will be back!

This part of Southwark is just arms-length enough from the touristy areas that Flour & Grape feels like a spot that is mostly trafficked and loved by locals. This being South of the river, there isn't a particularly convenient Tube station to bring you here from another part of the city. (Try a rental bike or scooter!) It is popular and they don't take reservations, so you are likely to be forced to queue up when you arrive. I came right when they opened so I didn't have that problem, and if you can make that work, I recommend it. I ordered their Pappardelle; it had a delicous ragu that had a cool fusion of flavors. I really loved it. I also got a great little bowl of olives and a pisachio gelato dessert. That gelato tasted really nice. Service was highly professional, and it is a beautiful dining room. I'm an American who stops by London for a couple of days every few years, and there is a very good chance I will work in a dinner here next time I'm around.

This was a happening place and we were lucky enough to get a table for two so we could enjoy their sweet treats. We also ordered the bruschetta, as it looked so good. The bread for the Bruschetta was so delicious. It was a soft bread and the flavor really worked with the tomato spread on top. The tomatoes were super sweet and flavorful, it was a lovely treat. The salted caramel gelato - well, how can you not like it? Enough said, it was very good. The Bundino was the slightly weak link. I would have chosen it last, but it was still a nice option for our dessert session.
