The best places to eat in London

Much like adding the perfect belted Burberry trench into your wardrobe or curating a capsule wardrobe of timeless pieces, when it comes to the classics, you can’t go wrong.

In a similar vein, if you’re looking for another reason to visit the institution that is L’Escargot, let this be it. For over 100 years, this has been home to some of the best French cuisine in London and is perfect for date night and celebrations alike. 

From the crisp table cloths and bijou table lamps that emit the softest of glows to Doris the smiling pup on reception, the charm of this restaurant is undeniable. 

Ask for one of the tables in the corner at the back if you want a romantic spot or one of the tables in the window if you fancy people-watching. I haven’t had this good a French onion soup since the fashion-week days at Castiglione, and the lobster bisque is one for the books too.

The fillet Rossini and lobster with butter are dishes I could very much eat on a regular basis. To finish, try the lemon tart (placed firmly on the right side of sweet) which is the perfect cleanser and way to end the night. 

My only regret is not leaving enough room for the shuffle. Oh well, looks like I’ll have to take a trip back. Not so and after all, eh?
