Picks by 육식맨 YOOXICMAN in London

8 places 육식맨 YOOXICMAN went to in London — what they said, and what to watch out for.

• Borough Market — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  So vast and packed with food that it's overwhelming, with giant mushroom risotto and paella being cooked right in front of you as a spectacle — called 'a goldmine for someone like me.'
  Heads up: Mentioned that it's very noisy since a railway runs right above the market.
• The Ginger Pig — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  The sausage seasoning and spices are on another level, with far more meat than typical street food — praised for its 'serious meat power.' If choosing just one, recommend the Traditional; if two, add the Pork.
  Heads up: Even though it's a takeaway shop rather than a restaurant, there's a line to wait in, and each sausage roll is a hefty 300g, so three of them could cover three meals.
• Blacklock Shoreditch — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  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
  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.
• Tower Bridge — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  Admired for its castle-like towers built right into the bridge, looking even grander with the pop of sky blue color.
  Heads up: Mentioned that the bridge has a slight swaying feeling when you're up on it.
• Tower of London — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
• Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  Praised for its stunning medieval-fantasy-like atmosphere and 'seriously delicious' stout, and enjoyed the genuine pub experience of people gathering and forming a real community.
  Heads up: The upstairs is reservation-only seating with per-person food orders, and downstairs fills up quickly; the steak and kidney pudding had more mushroom than meat, so they suggested 'you might want to skip meat pudding dishes,' the fish and chips lacked seasoning, and the ale was bland.
• Friend at Hand — 육식맨 YOOXICMAN
  With its old-fashioned interior and elderly gentlemen and grandmothers calmly watching football, it felt like a true neighborhood living room, free of the usual 'pub intimidation,' and the chips were so good they called it 'the main event.'
  Heads up: The fish and chips weren't seasoned, and in reality far more customers just drink beer without ordering food; British IPA was noted as watery and low in alcohol.
