10 Spots from "I Ate London’s Most Famous Food"

10 places

Bunsik Leicester Square

"Korean style corn dogs, often with a queue. Halal food. The potato chicken corn dog with bulldo sauce was found to be not worth the hype, with the potato not crispy enough and the overall taste being 'smooshy'. Rated 2 out of 5, considered overrated."

Blank Street Coffee

"Popular for matcha drinks. The white chocolate matcha was sweet but quite nice, though could use less white chocolate. The drink itself was rated 3.5 out of 5 and considered overrated, but the cafe itself was not overrated due to nice service and quick delivery."

Chimney Cake House

"Serves Hungarian chimney cakes, a pastry dough wrapped around a wooden log and filled. The cinnamon sugar chimney cake was found to be very good, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Rated 4 out of 5, considered not overrated and worth the hype."

Caffè Concerto Piccadilly

"An Italian establishment with many London branches. Food (BLT, grilled chicken Caesar salad) looked good, but was severely overpriced. A BLT was £16.95 and a Caesar salad £23.95. Rated 3 out of 5, considered overrated and not worth the price or usual queue."

Le Deli Robuchon Piccadilly

"Famous for cube croissants filled with biscoff or pistachio. Unfortunately, it was closed down last minute, possibly due to rent issues, and was still stocked but no croissants available."

9:53View place

The Noodle Inn

"Popular for hand-slapped noodles. The bang bang noodles with beef brisket were very tasty, with a warming, garlicky broth and well-seasoned brisket. Rated 4.1 out of 5, considered worth the hype if you arrive before opening to avoid the long queue."

10:37View place

SpudBros Express

"Famous for jacket potatoes. The 'Spudfather' (chili con carne, crispy onions, cheese) was found to be a good jacket potato and tasty, but overpriced and not special. Rated 3.8 out of 5, considered overrated and not worth the price or wait."

Dolce VyTA by Matteo Manzotti

"Known for stuffed brioche buns. The pistachio bun (with icing sugar, pistachio sauce, and chantilly vanilla cream) was described as a delightful snack, worth the hype, and not overrated. Rated 3.6 out of 5."

17:21View place

The Ivy Asia Mayfair

"A well-known chain restaurant, often hyped. The set menu (£19.95 for two courses) offered good value (prawn salad, grilled chicken with mash and peppercorn sauce). The ribeye steak (£38.95) was considered overpriced, especially without chips. Overall, the food was good, but the place was considered overrated due to the excessive hype. Rated 3 out of 5."

Flat Iron Kings Cross

"Mentioned as a better alternative for steak, offering sauces for £1 each, making it better value than The Ivy for steak."
