Byron *** £17

One of the best value for money burgers you can find. It's a chain, but their triple cheesmas (sic) burger was out of this world. It ain't Lucky Chip, but it pretty good for what it offers.

Koba Korean BBQ * £25

Woa, that place sucked big time. The meat were not marinated and hence a bit tasteless. I don't think I would go back.

Rococo Chocolates *** £5

Their chocolate shot, served in an espresso cup is one the best in London - thick and creamy as you would like it.

Casa Brindisa ** £25

Pretty nice tapas place, very conveniently located next to the South Kensington tube station. As with all such places, don't expect huge portions, but they are just fine for a nice dinner.

Loon-Yee ** £18

It's an OK place in our neighborhood, nothing spectacular but a decent choice if you want a quick Chinese fare.

Opera Tavern *** £27

Quite nice tapas place near Covent Garden, with small but very tasty plates of Italian and Spanish delicacies.

Honest Burgers *** £15

Very nice burger place in Soho, which seems to be becoming a hot area for awesome burger joints (others include Burger and Lobster, MeatLiquor, Lucky Chip at the Player). It is among the best.

The Player *** £27

This tiny little bar serves the famous Lucky Chip burgers in a new format - almost bite sized half-burgers (you get two with each dish, called Slider). Needless to say the burgers are near perfect. Arrive early to find a place to sit, or book ahead. The ice cream burger is also quite an interesting take on desserts :-)

Petchsayam Thai ** £18

Quite cheap Thai place at Leytonstone. The Tom-Ka-Kai was stupendously good, but more than an hour passed between the appetizers and the mains. I would visit again if I had a car, but wouldn't suggest for someone to travel from the other side of London for it.

Piada *** £14

Very cheap lunch italian place with homemade pastas. They only offer 2-3 items each day, but they are of top notch quality. Their piadas are awesome as well!

Duck & Waffle **** £41

Superb views of London, up on the 40th floor of the Heron tower. The food is highly original, trying to stray away from the usual Michelin-starred boxed thinking. Who would have thought that foie gras pairs well with Nutella?! It also has a very vibrant atmosphere, with a pleasant background chatter. Highly impressed!

The Square *** £45

Charming little place in Mayfair with two Michelin Stars. However, the lunch was good but didn't live up to the hype. It is supposed to be a sister restaurant to the Ledbury, but the Ledbury seems far superior at this stage.

Aqua Nueva **** £8

Amazing rooftop cafe/bar (and restaurant) right on Regent Street, with some of the most interesting views in London. A daytime coffee on a nice weekend afternoon is just great there.

Pizza East *** £25

Wonderful vibe in this place, which screams London and Shoreditch. I would love to have a birthday party here. The pizza was good enough to make me go back again, and the rest of the food was solid as well.

Princess Garden Of Mayfair ** £35

This is a fairly upscale Chinese restaurant that also serves dim sum. The food is not great, but I love how it is conveniently located next to Oxford street. It feels nice not to have to go to Chinatown for good Chinese.

The Ledbury ***** £135

Words don't put into justice the experience at the Ledbury. The tasting dinner menu was perfection after perfection after perfection, with the taste buds coming out dizzy and overwhelmed. Best of all, they customizes their menu to incorporate my fish allergies, creating special dishes when necessary. Probably the most solid gastronomical experience I had in London.

L'Atelier De Joel Robuchon **** £65

Superb, mind-blowing food. It was the most unexpectedly good meal I had in London this year. Loved the setting where you get to sit bar-style next to the kitchen and watch your food being prepared.

Su Sazzagoni ** £25

Authentic Sicilian cuisine is a homestyle setting. Food was solid good, although nothing to write home about. Several unique dishes on the menu.

Pollen Street Social *** £55

Atherton, Gordon Ramsay's most well-known protege, leads this Michelin-starred restaurant. Not ALL dishes were great, but several of them were outstanding. 

Retsina *** £30

One of the better Greek places in London. They offer a real souvla, i.e. a roasting spit to grill traditional meats. We went for the Greek Easter Sunday of 2012 and had a wonderful time. The for is of fairly high quality - great stuff.

Gelatorino *** £7

Amazing italian gelato place next to Covent Garden. Dare I say it is better than Scoop and Gelupo?

Duke's Brew & Que *** £27

Excellent beef ribs, probably the best you can find in London. Sure, they're not like the traditional ones you can find in the US, but a great choice this side of the pond.

TGI Fridays ** £25

While Friday's is one of my favorite restaurants in Greece, it remains below average in the US and the UK. OK food, but nothing exceptional.

Bella Italia ** £25

Went there with Nadine and George and their Groupon offer. It has a nice ambiance, but it remains a chain of Italian restaurants, so don't expect miracles.

The Bountiful Cow ** £20

The rib eye steak was terrible (what's what the others said), but the burger was really huge and fulfilling - one my favorites in London.

Spiritual Caipirinha Bar ** £10

Brazilian bar in Camden, very crowded, but it does have good vibe.

Hibiscus Restaurant **** £55

Superb downtown restaurant, also included in the top 50 restaurants in the world. I have a little vague image of the dishes, however tasted wonderfully. The chefs definitely have unique taste and will to try different stuff.

Meat Liquor ** £10

Conveniently located right behind John Lewis, this is a student-flavored, American style burger place. The burgers are solid good, even though not as great as Lucky Chip's. The chili cheese fries and the key-lime pie though are to die for!

Maze *** £40

The 25GBP early supper (between 5-6pm) is a fairly good deal. I love the ambiance, and the food is solid good. There is nothing to scream about, but a very good deal if you are around Oxford Street.

Dinner by Heston ***** £45

Words cannot easily describe dining at this place. Inspired by old British Cuisine, Blumenthal fuses together molecular gastronomy with British food. Although we only had lunch here, all 4 courses we tried were splendid. It certainly has a very upscale feeling, as well as impeccable service. Excellent views towards Hyde Park as well as towards the Chefs! If it wasn't so darn expensive, I would definitely be visiting there very often :-)

The Admiral Codrington *** £25

This is a tucked-away pub that serves one of the best burgers in London. It actually has a proper dining room that matches an upscale restaurant rather than a pub. Still, the £15 beef burger is to die for. (Even though I think Hawkmoor's is better).

Med Kitchen ** £25

That's exactly your average Mediterranean chain restaurant. It's not great, but if you are around and are looking for something simple to eat, it can be a good bet.

Wild Honey *** £30

This Michelin-starred restaurant has one of the best lunch deals for lunch in town - just  £24 per person. It wasn't much in terms of quantity, but just adequate. The Honey ice cream is just astonishing :-)

Gelupo *** £5

Cheap ice cream place with lots and lots of very weird flavors. You won't find the regular vanilla and chocolate flavors here. Still hasn't decided whether this of Scoop is the best.

Tayyabs ** £12

Yet another awesome, ultra-cheap spicy Indian place next to work. Less spicy than Needo, but with better environment.

Burger and Lobster *** £25

Unique place, offering only 2 items on the menu. An awesome burger, or a great lobster, with salad and chips, only for £20. And while for the burger it might be a tad expensive, for the lobster it's one of the sweetest deals in town.

Needoo Grill *** £12

Ultra-cheap, efficient indian place that has trained me in handling and enjoying spicy food.

Cay Tre ** £18

One of the better Asian places in Soho (Vietnamese to be exact). Conveniently located with excellent food, including steaks/ribs and Phos.

Santore *** £25

Busy authentic italian located in a nice restaurant street. They had the best ingredients ever in their meter long pizzas, however overall the taste at Pizza Metro Pizza is slightly better.
