Restaurants in London

Text.

British restaurants are not famous for their good food. Too often they offer only sausages and chips, fish and chips — chips with everything in fact! But there are some wonderful surprises in British cooking, especially the many delicious cakes and desserts, and the British certainly enjoy their food.

There is a fantastic variety of restaurants of all nationalities

in London where you can choose food to your taste: Italy an, French, Chinese, Russian and other restaurants.

Most British families only go to restaurants on special occasions, like birthdays, or wedding anniversaries. The restaurants’ best customers are businessmen, who meet in them to talk business in a relaxed atmosphere away from the telephone. They can eat what they like, because the company pays the bill. But when a boy and girl want to get to know each other better, they often go out to a restaurant together.

For visitors to London, eating out can be fun. Try the Rules, in the West End. The traditional menue and decor are just like they were in Queen Victoria’s day, a hundred years ago.

Or take a walk down the King’s road in Chelsea where there are dozens of small restaurants. But if you want that special London feeling, go to the Ritz in Picadilly for tea any afternoon at about half past four. Too  expensive? Then try England’s favourite food ‘fish and chips’. Take it away and eat it where you like — in the park, in the bus, or while you walk down the street. That’s what Londoners do!
