I’ve eaten at most of these places more than once. Even the fancy ones. Because here’s the truth: great food doesn’t have to be a production. It can be a quick lunch at a market stall or a long dinner in a hidden garden.
The key is to avoid the beaten path. Next time you’re in central London, don’t settle for a chain sandwich. Walk down a side street. Smell the air. Follow the queue of people who look like they actually know something. You might end up with a slice of heaven—or at least a very good bowl of noodles. Go on, you deserve it.
