The_Doctor posted:Firstly, it's called black pudding here. Secondly, hit up any cafe with a breakfast menu. Pubs aren't usually so good on breakfast (or indeed open for it). To be fair, a lot of greasy spoons in London don't do black pudding either.

Artificial Idiocy posted:I went to Lemonia in Primrose Hill last weekend. I had heard a lot of hype about it, and we have a family friend who has known the owner for years, so it was a nice experience. Everything tasted good, the dolmades were some of the best I've ever had, and my lamb kleftiko was tender and delicious. Basically, you hosed up. If you go to Lemonia, you order the Mezze for every hungry person on the table. They then bring you a truly ridiculous amount of food, like close to 20 dishes worth. It's better value than most of the restaurants in London, and absolutely in Primrose Hill. Spuckuk fucked around with this message at 17:00 on May 23, 2014 |

Picante near Victoria has a small but good selection, including two types of Valentina in big and small sizes, and some dried chillis and ccanned chipotles. They also do for my money the best Burrito in London too, one of the few places you can get a heart stopping Breakfast Burrito.

The_Doctor posted:Got an offer come through this morning for Sticky Fingers, Bill Wyman's place. Is it any cop? Imagine if Hard Rock Cafe served actually good food, it's a bit like that. Not the best burgers in town, but far from bad. The 1-lber sticky stack burger is worth a go if you're as greedy as me.

Going back to London after a few years away, just for a weekend. Will be me and a few carnivorous friends in and around Camden, any recommendations? Hache is definitely on the list, unless they suddenly became crap, but beyond that I'm a wee bit lost.

FWIW ended up going to Made in Brasil and was really pleasantly surprised by how good it was! Although I'm glad I'm back up north now, as the price of beer in London is even more brutal than I remembered.

Artificial Idiocy posted:I feel this - I live in London but I was in Manchester on a work trip a couple months ago, and got a pint each for me and my co-worker - when they told me the price, I thought it was for just 1 (under £5 for both). That, but three pints when I'd just moved up here. Was genuinely confused, thought I'd done a Life on Mars.

sharktamer posted:So the proms are on again, I'll be spending a lot of time around the royal albert hall and kensington in the next few months. Anyone got any good reccs for food around the area? Best looking places I got starred around there are the Churchill arms, Britannia and A Wong but I've never actually been to any of them, anyone been and liked them? There's flat three too but it looks like tiny little babby meals, not dinner. I used to work around there, and the Churchill Arms was excellent, both for the food and just being a great pub in general. This was a good three years ago mind.

Lahore Kebab House isn't far from Tayyabs, just as good (ex chef from Tayyabs), and far less hassle with queues. Next time I'm in London I'll be eating my own bodyweight in their lamb chops.

Bollock Monkey posted:Ideas for an affordable (cheaper than, say, Rotorino or Bocca) but special-feeling Mediterranean place? Anniversary time is coming up but it's been an expensive year so we can't justify a splurge. Preferably North/Central/slightly East. Bonus points for affordable cocktails. I'd say have a peak at photos to see if it's your kind of thing, but for Greek food Lemonia on primrose hill is very affordable, nice venue, and the friendliest waitstaff you'll ever meet.

Anae posted:It got an absolute rinsing in the Independent a couple of years ago. Should I pay that no heed? It got an absolutely blinding review from Jay Rayner a few years ago as well. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2008/jul/04/jayraynerreviewslemonia which gels with the last time I ate there, two years back. From personal experience it's fantastic, though I'd go and have a peek to see what you think before booking, as it can have a lot of families there, which might put you off, depending. edit: Read the independent review, it's terribly written, and no idea how they ended up with a bill that big, you just order the mixed mezze for however many people you have and loads of wine, then die from too much food.

Wheres the go to Vietnamese place in Shoreditch these days? Not lived in London for ten years but the office I work remotely for is in the area and I go down once or twice a year. It was definitely Song Que before, but been a while. Actually any general recommends, especially lunch spots would be welcome.
