Top Rated Restaurants & Cafes in London

Two men with day jobs quit all they had to travel to Naples and discover the art of real pizza-making. They later used this knowledge to create one of the most successful entrepreneurial ventures- the Pizza Pilgrims. Along with the food van, they now have a restaurant in Soho. The pizzas are as magical as the traditional Italian pizzas, so much so, that one cannot decide whether to eat them all at once or take them home and relish them at leisure. The tomatoes are grown on Mount Vesuvius in Italy while the dough and cheese are also imported from Italy. The flavor is so great, that one can be assured that this food van is much awaited in the vicinity!

Mother Flipper is a small stall on King's Boulevard that whips up some of the best burgers that one might ever have in London. The staff sets to work working their magic on the bun, the vegetables and the patty, such that the end result is a mass of gustatory pleasure like never before. The best burger here is the Double Bacon with two meat patties and dollops of cheese. It is huge and one might have to open one's mouth quite wide, though that is the essential joy of it! The burgers are cheap enough and service is quick. Mother Flipper has a stall in Brockley Market too.

Honest Burgers serves fabulously tasty burgers at fantastic prices. This is the USP of this venue. The burgers come in vegetable, chicken and beef varieties and are made in a way that ensures the chewiness of the meat and the fluidity of the cheese. The vegetarian burger is crisp and tasty, however the Honest Beef Burger is what pulls the crowd. It is made using meat from Ginger Pig, onions and cucumbers, just right to serve as a midday snack. The meal is accompanied by chips. The buns are available sans gluten too.

Since its launch in 2010, Gelupo has taken London by storm with its innovative gelatos. Chef and owner Jacob Kenedy creates remarkable flavors that are sure to tingle your senses. Some of the famous ones are ricotta, chocolate and black pepper as well as vanilla and saffron. They also offer tasters so that you can take your time picking the best. Apart from these creamy delights, Gelupo serves hearty Italian sandwiches and pasta mains along with a selection of wines to complement.

You would be forgiven for dismissing this place as just another of the many run-of-the-mill fast food places that are densely scattered across London's streets. Nestled on the edge of Shepherds Bush Market, it appears simple, spartan and uninteresting. At lunchtime, however, there is a definite buzz around it as workers flock from all directions to taste the "best Palestinian falafel". Expertly prepared falafel is served up in a number of imaginative ways by friendly staff.

Burger and Lobster is present in four locations throughout London including the one on Clarges Street in Mayfair.

Apart from a wide range of burgers and lobster dishes, they also offer some cool cocktails and beverages. If lobsters and burgers are among your favorite foods, you should head straight here!
