Lunch/dinner London tips

Pip1968 · 25-03-2013, 09:44 PM

I am taking my wife and more importantly my step daughter to lunch come dinner to London on Thursday. Does anyone have any tip top tips for somewhere nice but not more than about £50 per head. Preferably fairly central - zone 1/2/3 but not essential.

Thank you in advance.

My favourite is a place called Moro in Exmouth Market. It's excellent food and wine and not too expensive. Other options are:

- The Wolseley in Piccadilly or The Ivy if you want to catch some celebs. You'll need to book asap.

- Roka on Charlotte Street for awesome sushi.

- La Bodega Negra in Soho, which is a Mexican restaurant behind a fake sex shop in Soho. Your wife may not like it but your step daughter will think you're a trendy guy

In the last 2 weeks I've been to Rules in Covent Garden and Boisdale (Bishopsgate or Canary Wharf)

Both recommended

Duck and waffle
Or
Sushi samba
For the best views and great lift up. But menus might not be for everyone...

Right Galvin at Windows booked. chicken on your head be it

As for sushi my wife said she would rather I lick her p##y and apparently my daughter would rather lick her own arse. Women, you cannot live with them, you cannot kill them.

Thank you to all

how did it go?

Thank you again to all. Galvin at Windows has lovely views and excellent service. Three of us came to £200 for a three course meal with some cocktails to start and a bottle of wine with the meal. We took the opportunity of sitting in the bar after the meal to have coffee.

The only tiny gripe was that as our table was not ready for our 1430 appointment we ordered drinks in the bar and before they arrived were told that the kitchen was closing at 1430

so would we like to go through. Similarly at the end of the meal we were asked if we would like to have our coffee in the bar. It was nice to enjoy the better view in the bar but you get the feeling they wanted to clear the table.

Still recommended.
