Visiting London for the first time and wondering where you should go to have your first meal? Look no further as we recommend the top 10 must-visit restaurants to dine at in London!
1. Duck and Waffle
One must certainly try Duck and Waffle @ Duck and Waffle! Situated at the top floor of Heron Tower, Duck and Waffle presents a great view of the city and is opened 24/7! Head for breakfast for the least pricey dishes and enjoy the sunrise while you're at it.
Do note that Duck and Waffle is getting really popular and it is advisable for you to reserve your seats in advance! There is also a dress code to follow if you choose to visit! Read our post on: Dining in the highest 24/7 restaurant in London for more information!
2. Burger and Lobster
Even though you can get burger and lobster from many other locations like the United States, Bangkok and Genting today, why not try it where it originated? Burger and Lobster no longer has its only 3 dishes for 20 pounds but it is still worth a visit as it is undoubtedly the best lobster roll you can find (we think it is better than Luke's Lobster!)

This isn't quite a restaurant but it is an amazing cafe / take out eatery. It sells sandwiches, pastries, and bread. EAT. outlets can be found all over London and you should definitely try out their pie and mash!

If you have the time and stomach space, do also head for high tea in London. We recommend Fortnum & Mason's Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon. We love Fortnum & Mason's teas and never fail to purchase boxes of tea bags home!
Where to stay in London, United Kingdom?
Looking for the perfect mid-tier hotels to stay at during your trip to London, United Kingdom? After having stayed at multiple hotels throughout our visits to London, we have compiled a list of our favourite accommodations:
First on our list is the Paramount Hotel, which is situated in a quiet neighbourhood near Earl's Court metro station. This guest-house-like property boasts spacious and tidy rooms, making for a comfortable stay. The Earl's Court region is ideal for travellers on a budget, as it features a variety of reasonably priced hotels while still providing access to the station within Zone 1. Additionally, a 24-hour Sainsbury Local is conveniently located just a 4-minute walk from the hotel.
On another occasion, we tried the Ibis Styles London Kensington Hotel, part of the AccorHotels chain. Like the Paramount Hotel, this hotel is also just a 2-minute walk from Earl's Court Station and a 4-minute walk from Sainsbury's Local. However, the rooms are slightly smaller and may lack the homely feel of the Paramount Hotel. Nevertheless, the modern rooms and high-quality service expected from an international chain make it a great option for travellers.
So there you go, the top 10 restaurants that you must dine in when you are visiting London plus some recommendations for accommodation to ensure you have everything you need. Have you tried any of these? Share them with us!
