London Master Thread

[davidmal]

Compared to the kosher restaurants in NW London it's very over-priced. I was there last week and they charged £2.95 for a can of Coke (think that's about $4!). They have a captive market and unfortunately they choose to exploit it.

Their rent is drastically higher I would assume over golders green
Lamb chops were 1/3 of the price in the USA.

It is but that's not the point. The food is poor (most of it is reheated by microwave), service unfriendly and prices very high. It wouldn't last 2 minutes in GG, Hendon, Edgware, Borehamwood.

But it is what it is - a good (only) option for tourists and local businessmen which survives solely on this point.

I havent been to NW London for years. What's the best steak these days? Are 86 and La Fiesta still the best options?

Aviv had delicious grilled meats.

but I sadly can't compare.....

[tavster]

Thanks

Have not been to 86 but La Fiesta was nice. It was cool how the served the food, they took charcoal from the grill and made a mini grill on your table.

Its a nice steak house but I would not say it is so high class. This coming from someone who has hardly been to  many steakhouses.
The reason why we went there was that we were staying a 2 minute walk from there and looking for a good nice place to eat. La Fiesta fit the bill. We were happy with their service as well.
Make sure you get a room in the back part unless you like everyone looking at you!

I almost belched reading this.
If a restaurant microwaves their latkes, in a city like london, I can only imagine the quality the aspire to...
Shoot for the moon - reach the stars.. shoot for microwaved latkes.....

Not sure which restaurant this refers to but a few pages back people were saying Reubens is the best restaurant in London. They microwave their food FYI.

Reuben's was delicious

If you want really good food in Europe, it sounds like Paris or Rome are better options...
