(How one can be Grumpy McGloom at Borough Market, the foodie market of joy and glee, is just beyond me, but whatevs. Their loss of free dollops.) So I told them that I was smiling because I was exceptionally excited to try all of their vegan goodness, beany gluttony and lacto-veggie lurv that I had read so many wonderful Yelp reviews of. They then told me they knew all about Yelp and religiously read their reviews. Which made me smile even more. Thus proving my point that Yelp is the circle of life, ultimately.

Honestly I didn't expect my last meal in London to be at a Polish restaurant, but by some random…read morefate our Uber driver earlier in the day was Polish and recommended Daquise. I am very happy we ended up coming here because it was delicious! We ordered 2 types of Pierogi, the first being the onion, cheese, and potato and the second being the cabbage. The chef puts it on your plate for you. For my main I ordered the pork loin with red beets. It didn't really seem like a Polish dish, but it was very good. I had it with a Polish beer. Service was also good and overall seemed like a Polish a fine dining establishment. Apparently there is a bit of history to Daquise too and has been open since 1947. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend!

My husband and I had dinner at Daquise about two weeks ago when we spent a few days in London…read more Daquise opened in South Kensington in 1947 and has served tons of people wanting authentic Polish food in the decades since. We shared several dishes: Ruskie dumplings (cheese, potato, and onion); marinated herring with apple and creamed onion; pan-fried fillet of cod with horseradish sauce and sauteed spinach; and beef goulash with brandy served with buckwheat. Everything was delicious - but the dish of the night was the cod - I'd eat that weekly. They sadly weren't able to make me a martini (they couldn't have been out of vodka, so I assumed they had run out of vermouth?), but I had a nice glass of Polish wine, while my husband had some Polish beer. The restaurant is charming - understated and comfortable and well-lit. The service wasn't the most welcoming (our server was fairly friendly, but the hostess was not), but it was still a very nice dinner. It's a great place for a meal if you're looking for a place with history and great food! Polish was a great change of pace from our other meals!

Put my order in and it came out very quickly (under 10 minutes). Everything tasted AMAZING. I've honestly never had better toast at brunch. The tomatoes were flavorful and juicy. The eggs weren't over done. Everything was great. Staff checked in to see if I needed anything a couple times throughout the meal so I definitely didn't feel neglected. Overall a great experience. I would definitely go back during my next trip to London!

The Modern Pantry is one of the more well-known brunch spots in the city. This restaurant, located…read morein Clerkenwell, has quite the pleasant ambiance - bright, clean, and quaint. The staff is friendly and welcoming as well. Although it does get quite busy during peak hours, reservations on OpenTable are not difficult to come by. I would have wanted to give a better rating, but the food was nothing special. // Sugar Cured Prawn Omelette (£9.80) - 3 stars The smoked chili sambal is really what gave this dish a burst of flavor. Although the size of the omelette itself was quite small, it comes with two slices of bread to fill you up. // Tea Smoked Salmon (£10.50) - 2 stars Contrary to the dish's name, the salmon was actually served baked, rather than smoked. I would have preferred the latter on an eggs Benedict, as it turned out to be quite bland. The English muffins also lacked that extra crunch.

There were three of us, we had the meal for two but seriously, that's enough and it works out as such good value for money. Including wine for three of us it worked out at around £7 a head, which was very reasonable for what we got. If you've had tapas, then it's like that, in individual dishes for you to share. Very very tasty! The waitress was really friendly although slightly difficult to understand and be understood. Highly recommend!

Imagine my face when I heard there was a place in London selling langos year-round at Camden Town. I think the hours on the website are off as they opened an hour later, but I didn't have a problem since I just browsed around the market stalls. I ordered a langos, but I thought it was odd that they didn't offer any other toppings like tomatoes and parsley. The dough was not as doughy, perhaps too crisp for my liking. But hey, better than no langos, right? Haven't tried their borscht or any of the other entrees, but I'm sure it's good. The owners are very proud about their heritage and food, so the service was great. They don't do breakfast anymore, so just keep that in mind if you head out here in the morning.

It was a different team, and they were very accommodating to remake the second shawarma (after we asked) but even that didn't match the one the day before. So it's just inconsistent.
