- MMarcoLondon •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoThe food was brilliant and it was really nice that they made an extra effort with a birthday desert. The service was good, but they were so busy that they couldn’t treat everybody as good as they may like to. The Ambience was really nice, but the doors let in to much cold wind wen customers came in. There was always e breeze. It was still were nice. We would definitely come back again.More infoHeddon Street KitchenPrice: Moderate• European• Piccadilly•4.1
- AAlexLondon •158 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe ate at Hawksmoor Air Street before the theatre. The staff were great from the moment I arrived. Very welcoming and approachable. We told our server that we needed to be out by 7pm and they did their best to keep our dishes coming quickly. The set menu is lovely - almost all of us opted for the rump steak and the potted beef to start. Nothing was left on the plates it was that good! Steaks cooked to perfection, unctuous sauces and those chips! It was our friend's birthday and despite not having any room or time for dessert, he got a scoop of ice cream on a decorated plate with a candle for us to sing happy birthday! Much appreciated. Always a great experience.More infoHawksmoor Air StreetPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Piccadilly•4.4

Discover London
If dining in the U.K. still evokes lackluster fish and chips or sorry boiled vegetables, it’s time for a trip.

With a population of nearly 8.8 million people and one of the most popular airports in the world, the city is a bastion of cultural and culinary diversity, from an old world Parsi café and forage-forward tasting menus, to rethought English breakfasts and markets of all types. We’ll cheers to that.
