I thought it would be fun to share with other Billy fans some of the places I enjoyed eating on my most recent trip to London. Especially since, unlike my trip in 2008, I only had one "bad" meal, and that was at Heathrow on the way home.
Giraffe - Wilton Rd. (among others) - This is a chain of restaurants. The one we went to was on Wilton Rd. It is not expensive and they have a great Eggs Benedict, usually, although you do need to ask them to make sure the chef toasts the muffin. The last day we were there some of us had eggs poached too long. But overall a good breakfast. They have a nice English breakfast that is not too "full". However, this is also where I had a crappy meal at Heathrow because they do not have the same menu, and no Eggs Benedict!
Cafe Camelo - Elizabeth Street - this place has great omelets and other breakfast food. The local construction workers eat here, so it must be good.
Weatherspoons (in Willow Walk) - Another nice place for breakfast.
Garfunkel's (we went to the one in Victoria Station) - The food here is not bad. Kind of a UK version of Denny's. But the service was slooooooww! I had a not bad fish and chips here.
Duke of York (right next to the VPT) - I had fish and chips here, and it was very good.
Belushi's (in Covent Graden, just down the street from the Drury Lane Theatre) - Had the best fish and chips of my trip here, and the people there are very nice.
Nando's (in Bresenden Place) - Another chain. Their chicken is awesome. Ate there three times on the trip. If you want chicken in London, this is the place to go.
Wagamama (in Bresenden Place) - Very nice noodle dishes.
Iberico (in Harrod's) - This place has amazing sandwiches. Spanish food, lots of Spanish hams - not cheap but I had the best sandwich of my life here!
Loco Mexicano (on Wilton Rd) - This is a Mexican restaurant, or as close as they can get to one in London. I had minted lamb fajitas. Odd but tasty! Of course, for a person who comes from the heartland of California where more than 50% of the population is Mexican, finding good Mexican food elsewhere is very tough.
McDonald's and Krispy Kreme (in Victoria Station, among others) - For McD's, a safe place to get a taste from home; for Krispy Kreme, because I can not get them where I live!
