Heya, /ck/.

I'm going to London (and Stratford upon Avon) for work. The way the flights worked out, I have a few days to see London and eat some food, before having to move on or have restaurants chosen for me.

I'd like to have British food while there, because we have a lot of the Zuma/Nobu/Milos/trendy fish places back home. I like fine dining, so I'm okay with spending.

Some places the hotel recommended for British traditional:
Berners Tavern
Rules (rules.co.uk)

Also some French suggestions were:
Greenhouse
La Gavroche
The Ledbury


Any thoughts on these, locals?

Also what about lunch? Someone recommended The Market Tavern which is near my hotel/Hyde Park.

La gav is excellent
Rules is lovely and terribly british
The Dorchester is great, i used to work at the grill there
But seriously get a table at The Ned, it is fucking ridiculously varied and there is nothing like it on the planet
>>
>>9008270
Thank you!

The Ned is a restaurant within the hotel The Ned? Or you just mean try some places in there?

I'll try The Gav and Rules, thank you!

Any recommendations for lunch? I'm staying the Four Seasons Park Lane. Any comfy British Pubs around there?
>>
>>9008270
>rules.co.uk
Also when it comes to British food, what should I try? [spoiler]I'm a tiny grill so sometimes really heavy stuff like traditional swabian german food I can't manage to eat much of and it just overwhelms me[/spoiler]
>>
>>9008270
Definitely The Dorchester.
Go there and eat, it's amazing.
>>
>>9008324
Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester? The French one?

Barrafina is highest rated in london for good reason, good luck getting in though

St. John's is a legend in the industry for good reason

Clove Club got best British in 50best recently

Lyle's is good
>>
Sunday lunch at the Flask in Hampstead. Walk on the heath first to build up an appetite. Just good trad cuisine, not fine dining, but so cosy.
>>

>Barrafina is highest rated in london for good reason, good luck getting in though
Spanish tapas is something I eat a lot of, but I'll check it out if it's that amazing.

>St. John's is a legend in the industry for good reason
The one on Maltby st? Is that good for lunch as well? I'm looking for some great lunch places too..

>Clove Club got best British in 50best recently

Thanks so much!

>>9008493
I love cosy, I will do this Sunday! I have a dinner meeting that evening, but was looking at what to do in the afternoon and morning so thanks for that.

Pedros in kentish Town if you want traditional breakfast.
Porkys for ribs is lovely near Camden

Is there anything closer to Hyde Park for traditional breakfast?

Doesn't your hotel serve breakfast?
>>
>>9008786
Of course. I normally don't even eat breakfast (I do 16:8 IF most of the time), but, when I travel on the days I'm not working I try to try a bunch of stuff.
>>
>>9008796
Well, their 'full english' is as traditional as you're going to get without finding a proper greasy spoon, and good luck getting served spit-free food in one of those with your american accent and fancy clothes.
>>
>>9008872
I just meant because it was pretty far away, especially with traffic. As far as getting served spit-free, on the 4th of July, with an American accent, and my fancy cloths.... not sure the hotel can save me. :o) I try to be a pleasant tourist though. Although if you'd recommend I stick with the hotels, I appreciate the advice!
>>
>>9008889
For breakfast, at least.

Also, the only guy I know that knows of greasy spoons is asleep because he's probably got work in the morning.

Does it need to be a greasy spoon?

Greasy spoons have the best breakfasts., but they're not for you.

What you need to look for is 'all day breakfast'.

There are plenty of restaurants in the Hotel, all are fantastically put together. Also top tier drinking and a breathtaking building
The Marquis of Westminster is a nice wee pub (near Victoria) with good food, but anywhere independent will likely have some classic pub grub and roasts on Sundays
>>9008493
Agreed

Also Wright brothers in Soho is the place to go for seafood; cozy and cool, with a famously high standard
>>9009268
Brits are good at Stouts, and bitter cask ale. Ask CAMRA for places with beer in cask

And if you have time this eve, Ronnie scotts is an institution worth visiting

Depends on where; fine dining will be much the same as the rest of Europe, but pubs and the like are wont to fill your entire table with tasty things
If you are about tomorrow and need a chef guide I am off tomorrow aye

I'm not too worried. I've been to more dangerous places. It is concerning, but, I hope that they get things under control a bit more soon.
>>
>>9012115
It's a large market in London, you can have a wander and pick up some surprisingly cheap shit that was probably stolen, there's a food court in the middle with loads of food stalls, last time I went was a few years ago and there were loads of niche east Asian stalls

Weekly terror attacks don't seem right to me, but what do I know
>>
>>9012260
Dude, the death toll and wounded from that latest terror attack are less than one days toll for 2 US cities - every single day.
>>
>>9012289
And almost all of those deaths are negroes and other trash killing eachother over drug deals etc. It's not just random teens being gunned down or stabbed on the street.
>>
>>9012289
That's really nice, but doesn't take anything away from little girls and innocent pedestrians being mowed down and blown up weekly.
>>
>>9012305
I am pretty sure he's talking about cager carnage, not gun violence

Or did I miss something about the recent attacks? Did they use firearms? I thought it was murdercages

The Advert TV banners are being modernised at the moment so its not quite the same, but I'm sure its still cool. Central london is easy to commute around so if you think it might be worth a visit you should go.

People are perfectly content to let cagers murder people yearly at a rate far higher than the death toll of all US personnel in the Vietnam war. Hell, they fudge license tests so alzheimers riddled oldfucks can still drive. How often do you hear about some 80 year old vegetable cager slamming into a public area? Every. Fucking. Day.
>>
>>9013306
I'm a cyclist but I'm not such a faggot to use words like "cagers" when referring to cars, and I literally take it in the ass.

It is amazing when you put automotive deaths in context with other things we fear, but this is a psychological war more than anything else. Expecting an economy based on people driving to work and trucking to just stop is ridiculous, I'm hoping that self-driving cars make things a lot safer. I fear that will be a long time though.
