I have recently been on a 3 day trip to London and want to let you know everything I ate, all of the food I recommend (and maybe don’t recommend so much…), but we’ll start with the Food recommendations in London that you need to try!
Bon Gusto
http://bongustorestaurant.com/
Bon Gusto is in a very good location in Westminster, which was really close to where we were staying which was great!
My boyfriend and I have this thing where we will order separate meals and then half them so we can try different meals (I’d 10/10 recommend doing that).
So he got the spaghetti bolognese and I got the 4 cheese pizza, and then we shared a tiramisu at the end.
Spaghetti Bolognese
The bolognese was absolutely beautiful! I seriously don’t know how restaurants can make food taste so good!
I would definitely recommend the bolognese, it tasted so good and the portion size was really good too!
Four cheese pizza
The 4 cheese pizza however… I know this may sound stupid, but it was far too cheesy.
Honestly, I think this was our mistake to order a FOUR cheese pizza and expect it to not be SUPER cheesy lol.
If you LOVE cheese, then I would totally recommend that, because the base of the pizza was UNBELIEVABLE.
But if you’re not into super cheesy pizza, then I would stay away from that one.
BUT, I would 100% recommend getting pizza from there because the base tasted so so good!
Tiramisu
I would definitely recommend the tiramisu, it was beautiful!
I’m never normally a tiramisu girl, I normally always gravitate to brownies or chocolate, but I did thoroughly enjoy it!
If you love the taste of coffee then you will love a tiramisu (you’ve probably already had one if you love the taste of coffee lol, but just incase you haven’t tried one!)
Overall, Bon Gusto is definitely one of my food recommendations in London as I thoroughly enjoyed!
Borough Markets
I know that this is one of the most popular sandwiches from borough market, so you’ve probably heard of this before, but I had to try it for myself!
The black pig ‘The Best One’ pork sandwich
This was EVERYTHING!
Obviously there was so many food choices in Borough market that I haven’t tried, but I will tell you, the hype is real with these!
The bread is so crispy and the amount of parmesan cheese on the top was perfect!
I did share one half, and honestly that was enough! They were so filling and amazing!
They were 10/10 and I would definitely recommend!
Humble Crumble
This was literally the best apple crumble I have ever had!
We got the standard crumble: apple + cinnamon + hot custard.
But there is options of mixed berry crumble, ice cream, etc.
There is a reason we waited 30 mins for this crumble (yes, you heard that right). The queue was wrapped around the full stall, so if you are too impatient, try and come at a time when theres not a lot of people, however that may be hard!
But if you don’t mind the wait, then I would 100% recommend Humble Crumble!
Hankki
If I could recommend ANY place out of all of my recommendations, this would be the place.
Not only was the food amazing, the service was amazing.
Honestly, every single dish we got was 10/10 and I would 100% get again!
Go Chu Jang Cheesy Noodle with Fried Egg (chicken)
If you go here, YOU NEED THIS.
I can’t stop thinking about it!
My boyfriend and I got this to share, and there was plenty for both of us with this and 2 sides.
The noodles were absolutely delicious! I have never had cheese on noodles before, but THIS WAS IT.
The sauce was delicious too, the perfect amount of spice, it was gorgeous.
I will be craving this for the foreseeable!
Crispy Duck Bun
Based off everything else from here being 1000/10, I would rate this a 10/10.
They were actually a LOT bigger than I thought they would be, which I am definitely NOT complaining about!
The duck was crispy and the bun was perfect.
If they had a little more sauce inside, that would have been perfect because the bun was so thick (not in a bad way). But other than that, this was delicious!
‘Black Pink’ (charcoal fried chicken with dragonfruit sauce)
All I have to say is WOW.
These were the best fried chicken I have ever had in my life!
We got them because we seen them on TikTok and thought they looked so interesting we had to try them.
I didn’t have massive expectations for these because of them literally being black with bright pink sauce, but boy was I wrong.
These were so crispy, yet tender on the inside. The sauce was beautiful and added a perfect amount of sweetness to the fried chicken! Everything just went together so well!
They were the perfect amount of spice too, not too much but not too little. Especially because the noodles were more spicy, having these to balance the spice out was perfect.
I would 100% recommend getting the Black Pink fried chicken if you ever come here!!
Farmer.J breakfast
This was such a cute spot right next to our hotel so it was perfect!
It was cosy and cute vibes inside which was really nice!
Almond, Date Tahini + Banana porridge
I originally went into here wanting the peanut butter overnight oats, however they didn’t have any left! So my next option was this and I was very happy with my choice!
I loved the date and tahini spread in this porridge it was delicious!
The almonds added the perfect crunch and I love banana in porridge!
Banana Bread
Of course we can’t say no to a sweet treat! This banana bread absolutely hit the spot!
The porridge was quite filling, so we had half of this banana bread then and we saved the rest for later when we got hungry.
I am very proud of my self control for not eating the entire thing then and there!
As far as banana bread goes… this was up there!
The cafe is seasonal, so sometimes certain things won’t be on the menu, but I think this is a great way to try new things and you know everything is going to be fresh!
Thank you for reading <3
