10 fancy London restaurants I can't stop thinking about

Bookmark these spots for a special occasion or elevated date night

As a born and raised Londoner, one of the things I love most about living in the city is its ever-changing, top-tier restaurant scene. London really is one of the world’s best culinary capitals (a statement that I proudly stand by), set apart by its ever-evolving restaurant landscape: new openings, diverse cuisines, and quality produce can all be found in abundance. If I were to write a list of my favourite places to eat across the city, the list would go on and on and on…and would still fail to be exhaustive.

In this post I’ve shared 10 restaurants that I ate at last year that I can’t stop thinking about, and am looking forward to returning to in the months ahead.

These restaurants all fall on the slightly fancier (and pricier) side, and are ideal for a special occasion or elevated date night. There’s hopefully something for everyone, with a mix of Mediterranean, Indian, Japanese, and modern British restaurants on the list.
