Best Cookies in Clapgate

"Floozie Cookie founder, pastry chef Kimberly Lin, has a CV that includes Claridge’s, The Savoy and Dominique Ansel Bakery. She’s made a name for herself with Floozie which specialises in vegan stuffed cookies. Options might include Pecan Pie - butterscotch cookie dough, topped with toasted pecans and stuffed with date caramel."

"How does a vanilla cookie coated with crispy cinnamon cereal, and stuffed with rich speculoos cream sound?. Like something you want in on?. Well it’s your lucky day, because this Covent Garden pop-up turned nationwide cookie delivery service is delivering boxes of its vegan stuffed cookies around the country."

"A soft-and-crisp, pecan-studded butterscotch cookie with a filling of date caramel, it’s creamy in the centre, warming – not sugary sweet – and completely vegan too. 5 James St, London WC2E 8BH. Open for take-away and nationwide delivery."

"Bakers Mathew and Andrew met while working in Melbourne and decided to return to London to set up their own business. Chewy Cookie is all about quality, ethically sourced cookies. The doughs are aged for 24 hours before baking (and we can attest to how great they taste)."

"OK, now we know this next suggestion for the best desserts in London, isn’t a restaurant or cafes – but if you’re looking for an amazing dessert on-the-go, then I don’t think you can top Ben’s Cookies for deliciousness and price. Yummy, gooey, tasty cookies that dreams are made of."

"Passo is a lively and effortlessly cool restaurant, with authentic hand-made pasta and Neapolitan-style pizzas bringing a taste of Italy to the bustling streets of London. Led by Head Chef Joe Howley, the menu returns with a new revamp, framing the traditional and familiar Italian flavours and styles with a modern setting. The tempting selection of small plates include a creamy burrata with artichoke salad and basil pesto, mozzarella, lardo and garlic bread pizetta and rustic short rib arancini with puttanesca sauce – ideal for sharing with friends among free-flowing glasses of wine."

"When it comes to Italian food in Shoreditch, you just can't go wrong with hearty dishes, freshly made pasta and perfectly cooked pizza. Offering all that and more, Passo brings a rustic charm to the table, with the dishes and drinks and a cool concrete interior to match."

"This long-standing Soho institution houses a members club and restaurant, with Jeremy Lee at the stoves. Comfort and good taste exudes from the leather banquettes, crisp linen and floral displays, as well as the cooking. Jeremy achieves a rare combination of hearty and delicate British food with the skill of French technique – the baked salsify with parmesan and the smoked eel sandwich have both become house specialities."

"Soho stalwart Quo Vadis had been delighting customers since 1926, and even more so now with head chef Jeremy Lee’s innovative dishes. Expect punchy pasties, super-fresh seafood platters and retro takes on classics (try the pie and mash). Address: Quo Vadis, 26-29 Dean Street, Soho, London W1D 3LLWebsite:quovadissoho.co.ukOpen: Monday 17 May"

"Everyone seems out for a good time at this intimate, 23-seater restaurant. The food is regional, seasonal, and thoroughly British, from suet-crusted pie and mash to deviled kid-liver skewers. The wine list is lengthy, and the cocktail menu offers punchy house creations alongside classics."

"My Neighbours The Dumplings is a charming family-run restaurant and sake bar with sites in Victoria Park Village and Clapton. Taking lockdown in their stride, the kitchen is delivering a specially-adapted menu of mouthwatering hot and cold small plates and pancake kits to houses within a 2-3 mile radius - think prawn wonton soup and pork potstickers. One of London's best Chinese takeaways?"

"Restaurants Chinese Clapton. A former pop-up offering dim sum-style dining for local hipsters, MNTD’s watchword is definitely not authenticity. Still, the dumplings themselves are excellent, with handmade pastry and irreproachable fillings."

"Restaurants Chinese Bayswater. Bite-sized dim sum is brilliant for children, and Royal China’s distinctive black-and-gold restaurants are old hands at welcoming families – Chinese or otherwise. Challenge your offspring with chewy chicken’s feet, squid balls and glutinous rice or keep them sweet with delicious dumplings, char sui buns, crispy spring rolls and luscious custard tarts."

"This classic Cantonese restaurant is renowned for its dim sum. Don't be put off by the seemingly formal atmosphere - once the food arrives all pretension is thrown out the window as the room is filled with oohs and ahhs of content. Book ahead to avoid the queue that often snakes its way down Baker Street, and settle down to order plates of fried gyoza, soft dumplings, roast pork buns and crispy spring rolls."

"The Royal China in Baker Street is the best Chinese restaurant in the country by a mile. Either that or it's the best Chinese restaurant in London by a country mile. Some might say that their branch in Queensway is the one to frequent, but then they would be sad losers with no taste or style."

"The Churchill Arms is also known as the most photogenic pub in London. With a facade covered in plants and flags like that one, how could it not be?. The decorations aren’t limited to the outside, the pub is decorated with a number of Churchill memorabilia on the inside, while it might not be quite as Instagrammable the inside of the pub is also definitely worth a visit!"

"Last but not least — a very delightful type of architecture — the pub. The Churchill Arms is more than a pretty face, it’s been here and used for the same purposes since 1750, making it one of the most historical pubs in the capital. Public Houses or Pubs were a place where people would eat and drink and also spend the night."

"Probably the most decorated pub in London, this pub makes for an awesome photo (or drink). As it’s located close to Notting Hill Gate you could pop here before, or after, exploring the other areas. For an image such as below it’s best to visit in the warmer months when it has all the plants and flowers seen below."

"267 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 2UQ Why should you care?. Butcher & Brew have been established in Streatham for a few years, and now they've also just opened on the opposite side of London on Islington's Upper Street. Beer and meat is the neme of the game here."

"Late night serenades, a caviar menu and a dining room drenched in red velvet: dates don’t get much more glamorous than they do at Park Chinois. From the swoon-inducing live band to the bathroom taps shaped like gold swans, this Mayfair Chinese restaurant is an exercise in opulence, styled after the glamorous nightclubs of 1930s Shanghai. Intimate nights can be shared upstairs in the Salon de Chine, while dinner in the downstairs Club Chinois is accompanied by a high-kicking cabaret show – a dead cert for getting all concerned hot under the collar."

"Restaurants Chinese Mayfair. Pink cherry blossoms, swathes of rich red velvet and taffeta, a jazz quartet playing – welcome to Park Chinois, Mayfair’s sumptuous take on a 1930s Shanghai speakeasy. It’s a long way from spaghetti and meatballs, but you can indulge your deepest ‘Lady and the Tramp’ fantasies here by ordering the udon ‘carbonara’– an Asian ode to Italian trattoria richness that’s perfect for the restaurant’s slinky boudoir glitz."

"The first thing to know about Alan Yau's Mayfair restaurant, inspired by the golden era of French chinoiserie and with more than a nod to old Hollywood glamour, is that it's beautiful. The second is that the live jazz is so good, the vibe so smoochy, it should have an X certificate - the world's first X-rated restaurant. And the third is the food."
