Lunch deal in London

6 places for Lunch deal 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.
• 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.
• The Parlour at sketch — Harrison Webb
  The music is at just the right volume for conversation, the decor — ballet shoes, disco ball — is fun, and the stacked burger with its distinctive house ketchup exceeded expectations.
  Heads up: The menu with mains is only available at lunch, from noon to 3:30pm; in the evening it's mostly takeaway and sandwiches. A 15% service charge applies, but joining the membership app gets you 20% off (£70 down to £58).
• Clifton Nurseries Cafe — Harrison Webb
  Praises the atmosphere of being in the middle of a garden centre, plus warm croissants and coffee at £2.75–£3.75, making it possible to have a date for under £10.
  Heads up: Don't expect much from the food — go for the coffee. The avocado and chocolate pancakes and croissants are messy to eat on a first date, and the flowers aren't sold individually, only as potted plants. Beer is pricier at £8.50.
• Phoenix Palace — Doobydobap
  Praised the chicken feet — fried then steamed until they melt in your mouth — and the century egg congee, whose broth goes down gently like a comforting chicken noodle soup.
• Vinegar Yard — Suitcase Monkey
  Said that unlike the traditional Borough Market, it has a young, modern vibe, making it well-suited for a boozy lunch or a night out.
