Summary:
It’s easy to find a great meal in London, and–with the exchange rateand soaring prices–easier yet to find a meal that is ruinously
expensive. But what fun is that? Enter Elaine Louie, a New York Times
staffer who writes on food, design, and style. What better person to
suss out the spots where the most stylish of Londoners dine while
staying solvent? Tracking down leads from architects, curators,
designers, and other sources with discriminating taste and exacting
palates, Louie profiles fifty venues that would be considered great
finds at any price and where a meal (not counting tip and beverage)
can be enjoyed for less than $25. The restaurants range across
ethnicities, and include a substantial number of traditional British
and Continental restaurants. They deliver on decor (cool, charming,
and/or beautiful) and the food (not necessarily three-course meals,
but sometimes more modern, light dining) is always memorable. Follow
the leads of fashionable epicures to: • Baker & Spice, a chic spot
favored by the impeccably dressed “yummy mummies,” young mothers who
savor the best quiches in London and golden-crusted meat pies filled
with baby veggies fresh from the British countryside• the “darling
and simple café” atop four floors of fashion in the hip Dover Street
Market, centrally located near Bond Street• Crazie Homies in hip
Westbourne Grove, where the food is inspired by street vendors and
taquerias found throughout Mexico and is freshly made from authentic
recipes–try the potent yet refreshingly smoky margaritas• Jin Kichi,
the tiny Hampsted eatery, bedecked with red paper lanterns, where the
delectable fare means the place is usually filled with Japanese
expatsThe venues are located in city-central locations and hip
neighborhoods and a few of the best are even tucked away in museums
and department stores, making this a highly practical guide for
travelers who need to plan their time efficiently. In addition to the
fifty restaurants with full profiles, the author has included short
descriptions of another two dozen places worth visiting.
