I love London for its variety of unique restaurants, there’s something for everyone. Here’s my little round up of all the quirky places in London:

The Meat & Wine Co Mayfair

17C Curzon St, London W1J 5HU

If you’re a steak & wine lover – this place is for you! It’s a fine dining restaurant that fuses African heritage and cuisine with modern culinary techniques and contemporary décor. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten a better steak!

Cecconi’s Mayfair

5A Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3EP

Cecconi’s Mayfair is an elegant Italian restaurant located in the heart of Mayfair, London. I love it for its sophisticated ambiance, impeccable service, and delicious Italian cuisine. The restaurant’s classic decor and extensive menu make it a top choice for a memorable dining experience.

Peggy Porshen

116 Ebury Street, Belgravia, London SW1W 9QQ

Peggy is probably one of the first Instagrammable cafe’s in London and that’s what makes it extra special. Pretty, pink decor, delicious, neatly presented cakes and wide selection of desserts so you can easily find something for your personal taste. An ideal spot for a catch up with friends. Can get busy at times so worth booking in advance.

GRIND (Covent Garden)

42 Maiden Ln, London WC2E 7LJ

Cosy, boho cafe based in Covent Garden. Dynamic atmosphere, friendly service and drool-worthy food.

PANADERA

83 Kentish Town Rd, London NW1 8NY

Panadera is a Filipino bakery in Kentish Town making finger-licking pandesal sandwiches, pastries, and iced teas. Their Egg Sando is to die for!

MAMASONS Dirty Ice Cream

Another unique Filipino place that will take you straight to the busy streets of Manila!

EL&N Cafe

So excited to see this place growing so fast, they currently have 8 cafe’s around London. What makes EL&N unique is their iconic flower walls, pink interiors and alternative lattes taking social media by storm. So Insta-worthy!

Tab x Tab London

If you’re into speciality coffee, this place is for you. Warm, cosy atmosphere with a stunning view on busy streets of Westbourne. Plus they have the cutest mugs that can be purchased here.

Vibrant cafe with rustic interiors, the BEST breakfast in town and amazing coffee.

Each dish looks like a masterpiece, so pretty and succulent!

Farm Girl (Notting Hill)

59a Portobello Road

Head to Farm Girl for the BEST ACAI BOWL and their luscious rice paper rolls!

The Rum Kitchen Carnaby

First Floor Kingly Court, London, W1B 5PW

Carnaby is one of the quirkiest places in London, ideal for evening stroll, drinks with friends and striking views. The Rum Kitchen is a place for Funky, island-inspired hangout for jerk, curries & other Caribbean fare with many rums & cocktails.

The Ivy Tower Bridge

One Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2AA

This place isn’t the cheapest but it’s so worth the money! Delicious food and the most amazing view on Tower Bridge!

Côte

Côte is my favorite place for breakfast not only in London. Their french toast is insanely delicious! Although there’s plenty of Cote restaurants in London, I highly recommend the one in Windsor (71 High St, Eton, Windsor SL4 6AA)
