I wrote a lot about the places to hang out, admire or think
of your life decisions… but where should you eat when visit London? Well, let’s
be honest, you can choose any cuisine of the world and I can guarantee you
that, you will find restaurant that serves that particular food in town. London
is as global as its citizens. So, there is a lot to explore but I do have my
ultimate favourites. I love local food trucks in Camden (I became a huge fan of
Mexican burritos) and I have soft spot for French macaroons but when it comes
to proper restaurant, I always choose ‘The Zedel’. It’s a French Brasserie,
with French and American accent (yes, here in London we like to mix things) It’s
a beautiful place with American Bar, The Crazy Cook live show and beautiful and
elegant restaurant that someone literally, stole from the heart of Paris. Bar
has this ‘chatty’, ‘foggy’ vibes where people drink and laugh by the old wooden
bar full of alcohols, but restaurant has completely different atmosphere, its
elegant and simple. Menus are always handed in French (You need to ask for English
version, even if you’re in capital of United Kingdom) Waiters speak with French
accent and life music is always in French. It’s such a beautiful experience,
because you feel like you are entered to the different culture. Interiors are
marble, with gold details and wooden tables, light is elegant and soft. Food is
totally French, I think I’ve tried there my very first snails in garlic sauce-
delicious! What I like the most about this place is, the fact that it looks
very expensive (English would say posh, but I really don’t like this word) but it’s
very affordable! For 3 course menu in beautiful place, with life music you will
pay 12£. I’m not joking. Yes, I know I just made your life better. Of course,
you can choose different dishes and pay for them separately but set menu that
includes salad, French steak with sides and then dessert with coffee will cost
you only 12£. I chose this place for my graduation dinner, my family loved this
place, me and one of my best friend had a lot of fun there! It was a beautiful
place to celebrate such an important life event! When I booked this place I
mentioned we need a nice table as we are going to celebrate the graduation,
because I didn’t want to be allocated in inconvenient place, like by the
kitchen doors or near the entry where is always busy. Restaurant surprised us
with extra cake and ‘congratulations’ sign on it (obviously in French) we also received
glass of prosecco for free. All that for 12 pounds per person. Book your table
after you see these pictures!
