Alright cu/ck/s!
Travelling to stinky but fascinating London today for the weekend. I need your best food suggestions, anything from restaurants to food stalls and pop-up places!
Already have Manze's and Rules on the list. What else?

Don't they sell a lot of fried chicken in London? What is it with Brits and fried chicken?
>>7714062
it's mostly blacks who eat it.
>>7714046
Go to Soho! My 2 favorite spots are Bone Daddies ramen (try the tonkotsu) and honest burger. Some of the best, if not the best, ramen and burgers ive ever had.
>>7714059
i was there last night
prepare to be approached by beggars
>>7714153
I went to the Bone Daddies in Whole Foods last year with my gf and somehow walked out with a bill over £50.
>>7714292
you went to a restaurant in london and spent over 50 quid? shocking!
I found the international food in food stalls at various markets were really nice and rather cheap (for London anyway). The sit down restaurants were more hit and miss, and I got the impression the real good places were somewhat hidden away from city central.
>>7714153
>recommending chains
What
>>7714292
When i went i think i spent about £13 for a bowl of ramen and a bottle of good beer. Not that bad but its all the extras that make it expensive
>>7714314
yeah there's god tier food at some of our markets, i fucking love this falafel stall on the chatsworth road
There are nice artisan cheese shops in this magical back street place. I went to visit last month but yet again my intensely negative, miserable persona and outlook instantly drained the walls of their colour, the cheese turned sour and the locals had to loudly bang pots and pans to scare me away.
>>7714320
When i went they were the only ones in existance i think, i had no idea they were chains. Oh well. I've only ever been to two other restaurants and i didn't think op would be interested because they were very very expensive.
why is london so helplessly overrun with niggers and shitskins
depressing desu
>>7714339
> If you are paying a lot for it, you know it will probably be pretty good. But the less expensive places? Really, really hit and miss.
unimpressed
>>7714343
i love it when non londoners say stuff like this. fuck off you cunt.
>>7714343
Reminder that white is recessive
Reminder that we'll wipe you out like the mastodon
Good night, whitey, and absolutely nothing of any value was lost :D
>>7714349
This. London's always been a melting pot and that's how we like it. Just stay in your inconsequential little village and shut up.
>>7714373
is this a throwback to another london food rec thread from a couple of months ago where someone suggested popping into a supermarket for a sandwich?
>>7714375
I think there are people who genuinely like that place
>>7714373
Non-brit here, I rather liked greggs pies when I was there. It's probably a pleb option but whatever.
>>7714366
>London's always been a melting pot and that's how we like it
absolutely disgusting
>>7714392
it's a stupid thing to say. there are tons of shit expensive restaurants.

london ewwwww
>>7714046
if you want some French fries, just ask for some "chips."
if you want some potato chips, ask for some "crisps," and best said with a lisp
if you order biscuits and gravy, plan on getting this
>>7714412
No need, I'm not American.
Why would you assume this?
>>7714412
Kek why are brits so kooky?
>>7714349
Londoner here.
There's too many foreign/brown people. Getting on a bus and being the only englishman is just demoralizing desu. Also the mayor is a paki terrorist.
Here are a few places to try, OP:
1. Angus Steakhouse
2. Garfunkels
3. Spaghetti House
If you plan on travelling outside of London, make sure you try some traditional favourites at Little Chef.

Is it true that you gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket?
>>7714456
not sure but I worked with a guy from Great England and after a night of drinking he kept talking about getting a "little bit of crumpet' and figuring he was hungry and heading toward to an IHOP, he drives us to a strip place that doesn't even serve food! After a few beers and lap dances I asked him about being hungry and then he just kept saying, "feck me mite, I've got stikes at me flat, Never too pissed to cook up up some stikes and chippers!" Needless to say I took a cab home.
Regarding cricket, I can only fucking imagine how that would end up.
>>7714496
>Great England
I'm surprised there are no Scottish restaurants called McDonalds
>>7714456
Cricket is simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEH4ahCCrJo
>>7714447
you're both moving the goalposts and showing you have no independence of mind, good job.
Vivat Bacchus is pretty good, and they have a walk-in cheese room if you're into that.
>>7714385
Sausage and bean melt > chicken bake > steak bake > cheese and onion pasty
>>7714046
go to Santa Maria del Sur in Battersea, it's an argentinian steakhouse and the meat is imported from argentina. also make sure to tip the tall waiter
>>7714071
> Asian
Cheap? Camden market. Walk through the markets to the bit with the food stalls.
Good? Chinatown, Brick Lane for indian.
> Continental
If you want 'continental cuisine', France is a few hours away by train.
> American style
There's a place across from Forbidden Planet in Covent Garden.
> Seafood
Not in London, bruv.
>>7714366
> Melting pot
You mean 'the place where we take money off foreigners', right?
>>7714522
Holy shit that's funny
>>7715061
>No Londoner says 'paki', no Londoner is intimidated by other races.
no true londoner you mean
>>7715068
why
American here. Is Nandos a meme restaurant or is it actually good? We have some here, but I'm not traveling to Virginia/Maryland for what I'm assuming is British KFC.
>>7715092
The "having a cheeky Nando's" is a meme but it's ok. It's not anything to write home about but if you want a reasonable chicken meal it's fine
>>7714522
saw this before
it is funny
Half an hour before closing, itsu restaurants sell all sushi and salads at half price.
As someone who's only reason for not living on sushi is because he is poor, it is a godsend.
>mfw that horrid northern bigot got BTFO in this thread
>best pizza
natura in hackney wick, 100% italian stuff
>best pho
salvation in noodles in dalston
>best fried chicken
wing in shoreditch
also, senzala in brixton for crepes
>>7714046
Leave Farringdon Station. Head up Cowcross St. toward Smithfield's Market.
Immediate on the corner near the betting shop is The Castle. Great pub. Good spot to hit in the evening after work.
Look on your left for a Starbuck's. Underneath the arch between it and a hair salon you will see an underpass, on the right-hand side of which is a door to the apartments above. Continue forward to the Sports Bar and Grill Farringdon--chainey place but good for a watch on the TV.
(Look up and wave to me while you're there).
Continuing up toward the Market, note on your left Atillio. Great family-run Italian place. Of all the food in the Clerkenwell area, I'd recommend that.
>>7714908
Nice try tall waiter
>>7714046
Indian food is the quintessential UK dish :^)
>>7714407
which one?
Flat Iron does a pretty good steak for a reasonable price.
>>7714496
>"feck me mite, I've got stikes at me flat, Never too pissed to cook up up some stikes and chippers!"
The sad thing is that autists here are going to believe you.
>>7714046
Go to Borough Market on Friday or Saturday. Just do, don't question.

>>7714942
Fuck Camden Market. That place is a shitty, touristy hole filled with useless trash.
Brick Lane is basically shit now that Sweet & Spicy is closed. That was the only place on the Lane worth going to.
Made in Brazil in Camden is pretty good if you like that sort of food. There's also a nice little Korean restaurant just by British Museum that serves a mean kimchi stew.
>>7714908
>the meat is imported from argentina. also make sure to tip the tall waiter
Will he invade the Falklands if we don't?
>>7714059
Yep, but make sure you go to the one in the picture, not the yellow one a few doors down.
>>7714071
'Fish!' in Borough Market isn't a bad restaurant. But, the best food in that market is the takeaway chorizo roll from Brindisa. Chorizo straight off the grill, sweet pepper, and rocket, in a bun with olive oil. Can't recommend it enough.
The Hawksmoor steak houses are pretty damn good. Their bone marrow gravy is top notch. Kinda pricey tho, but YPFWYG
Can't go wrong with a late night sams/ chicken cottage 2 for £2

>Fuck Camden Market. That place is a shitty, touristy hole filled with useless trash.
Found the tourist. It's great if you know where and how to find things, aren't so beta you can't haggle, and look like you belong there.
anyone know a good UK food gift that could last long?will be staying for a week there, planning to buy them for family here
>>7718223
I never understood this, the other one is awesome

Jars of Branston Pickle.
