British in London
10 places for British in London, picked by creators — with what they said.
- Blacklock Shoreditch — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN, Locavore Eats
The roast beef, made only with British beef, was praised as excellently medium-rare, with the gravy singled out as 'a bomb of natural umami' and 'the real star of the dish' — the carrots, cabbage, and pork crackling were also impressive.
Heads up: Sunday roast is only served on Sundays, and Sunday reservations are fully booked, so you need to walk in right at opening; portions for two are huge, making it a real challenge to finish within an hour. - The Wolseley Piccadilly — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN, 큰손 노희영
Praised for black pudding and baked beans that are noticeably tastier here, pancakes that aren't overly sweet, and the whole experience — British businessmen reading newspapers amid upscale decor — deemed 'well worth it as a cultural experience.'
Heads up: Went with a reservation; by 8:30-9pm the place fills up with tourists, and the dress code is smart enough that T-shirts or sweatshirts feel out of place, with prices reflecting the ambience and experience as much as the food. - E Pellicci — Locavore Eats
Called the enormous 'have the lot' fry-up (beans, mushrooms, Cumberland sausage, black pudding, bacon, eggs, tomato, and fried bread) — too much to even fit on the plate — an epic feast, and also praised the cheese-piled bolognese from the Italian menu.
Heads up: Since it's an Italian-run establishment, recommends ordering pasta alongside the English breakfast. - Masters Superfish — Locavore Eats
The contrast between the unbelievably crispy batter and the moist fish was outstanding, and the thick-cut chips plus the complimentary pickles and small shrimp were a nice touch.
Heads up: The tiger prawns were tasty but the portion was small. - Ikoyi Restaurant — 셰프 안성재 Chef Sung Anh
He praised how the chef, not originally trained as a cook, creates incredibly free-spirited food, and with a partner from Africa, uses plenty of African spices to make dishes with absolutely no boundaries.
Heads up: He felt that since it's a Michelin-starred restaurant, dressing formally (in a suit) is the respectful way to go. - Quo Vadis — Condé Nast Traveler
Praised for a menu that weaves British produce into Italian and European regional cooking traditions; the celeriac remoulade made with buttermilk instead of mayonnaise was described as a revelation, and the walnut tart and meringue desserts were also excellent. - Mother Mash Carnaby — Locavore Eats
Loved the classic Cumberland sausage and mash with a rich, savory gravy, plus the steak and stout pie and a custard-topped dessert.
Heads up: If sausages aren't your thing, they also have pies on the menu. - Hawksmoor Air Street — 큰손 노희영
Known as the top-ranked steakhouse in London, famous for its dry-aged steaks.
Heads up: The flavor is so rich that she doesn't go as often these days. - St. John — 큰손 노희영
Said the butterscotch bread pudding was chewy and warm, remarking 'now I get why it's number one,' and also praised the salt beef.
Heads up: There's been a line here for decades, and the nose-to-tail philosophy with unusual ingredients might not suit people who prefer more ordinary food. - The Pig and Butcher — Doobydobap
A traditional Sunday roast with roasted meat, crispy potatoes, and a Yorkshire pudding that soaks up the gravy beautifully — the Scotch egg also 'scored well.'
Heads up: Sunday roast is only served on Sundays, and reservations were made for the visit as shown in the video.
