Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Brentford

"For a lunch date to remember, 155 meters high at the top of the famous ‘Walkie-Talkie’ building, the Sky Garden offers spectacular views of the city. But it’s the incredible tropical garden which makes this iconic London landmark a must-see. There are multiple restaurants and bars to choose from, but for informal yet stylish lunchtime dining, we highly recommend Darwin’s Brasserie to take in some of the best views of the city."

"Day 1: Arrive in London, Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour, the London EyeDay 2: Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Whitehall, Covent GardenDay 3: Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Borough Market, Tate Modern, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Sky GardenDay 4: National Gallery, Greenwich, Prime Meridian, Up at the O2Day 5: British Museum, Portobello Road Market, Victoria and Albert Museum, Harrod’s"

"Located on floor 36 of the iconic Walkie Talkie, the views from the Darwin Brasserie are pretty striking. Although Fenchurch Restaurant – one of Sky Garden’s other offerings – is higher, the Darwin Brasserie has better views thanks to its position further back from the Sky Garden’s atrium roof. A good option if you want to enjoy the sights without the flocks of camera totting tourists."

"Like it’s taller sister Duck & Waffle, the spectacle of the iconic SUSHISAMBA Liverpool Street begins from the panoramic glass lifts, which whisk you up to the 38th and 39th floors of the Heron Tower where the restaurant is located. It boasts one of the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, but during the winter months you can admire the views from indoors thanks to the restaurant’s three glass walls. A glamorous New York City import, the menu fuses together Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisines."

"Sushisamba – the Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese joint – is finally back up and running, and is certainly one of the best City of London rooftop bars. The indoor restaurant is now open as well as both outdoor terraces. Choose between the sprawling views on the East Terrace or toast the summer on the Tree Terrace under our iconic 26ft orange tree."

"The second venture following the City site, this West End restaurant offers a unique mix of Brazilian, Peruvian and Japanese cuisine. When it's not hosting a swanky celeb-filled party, head to Sushisamba for leafy decor and beautifully plated cooking."

"It may sit just two floors above flashy Sushisamba, but the vibe at Duck & Waffle is far more relaxed (although it still boasts the same enviable views). Open 24/7, Duck & Waffle deals in upmarket comfort food, which means you can enjoy the likes of bacon-wrapped dates, a warm savoury doughnut filled with ox cheek, and of course, the eponymous dish, which sees waffles topped with confit duck leg and a glossy-yolked fried egg."

"There are great restaurants in London and then there are great restaurants in London with views that will take your breath away, and that’s why we recommend Duck & Waffle. Open 24 hours a day all year long, duck and waffle serves everything from breakfast to lunch to brunch to late-night bites. We recommend trying the breakfast or brunch for your first meal here- easier on the wallet but still just as delicious as ever."

"At Duck & Waffle the fun begins in the lifts, which feel like you’re shooting up into the sky. One of London’s highest restaurants, it’s located on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, and being open 24/7 means you can catch the stunning panoramic views whenever you fancy. It’s the kind of place people go to be seen – but it’s smaller and less showy than its sister SUSHISAMBA, which sits a few floors below."

"Mayfair hotel The Biltmore Mayfair welcomes a new restaurant this summer, spearheaded by superchef and restaurateur Jason Atherton – who runs another of the hotel’s eateries, The Betterment. The Café Biltmore Restaurant & Terrace will be a more relaxed affair, focusing on comfort classics like buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches and wood-fired pizzas, alongside fish dishes including steamed mussels and Dorset crab on toast. On summer evenings the newly expanded 70-seat terrace is the place to be, a tropical-inspired space surrounded by foliage covered walls."

"The Biltmore Hotel in leafy Grosvenor Square is a delightful place to escape the bustle of nearby Oxford Street, with plenty of space to spread out, including two restaurants run by Jason Atherton, The Betterment, and Cafe Biltmore. The latter sprawls out onto a generous terrace at the back of the hotel, part undercover, and part open to the sky. The menu is simple but satisfying: elegantly done gastropub classics with a hefty wine list to go with them."

"Serene leafy terraces in bustling Mayfair are hard to come by, so thank heavens for Cafe Biltmore from chef Jason Atherton. Expect a casual offering (for this postcode at least) full of globally inspired dishes."

"Located inside a Grade-II listed Georgian townhouse, The Harcourt is a beautiful spot for lunchtime in Marylebone. Blessed with five rooms featuring stunning artworks and contemporary design, this is one opulent space to settle in to sample some modern European delights, with a nod to their Scandinavian heritage obvious throughout."

"Trishna's Michelin star was awarded in 2012, a time in which London was in the global spotlight. And indeed there may be no restaurant in London which better represents its spirit: Indian restaurant Trishna presents a terrifically elegant dance of cross-cultural approaches to fresh, sustainable, gorgeously prepared seafood and shellfish, tucked in one of the city's most beloved neighbourhoods. Try a tasting menu, which includes Dorset brown crab with butter, pepper, chilli, and garlic."

"Michelin-starred Trishna has launched a delivery service from its Marylebone Village site, available via Deliveroo and its own direct delivery platform. Serving a menu inspired by the south-west coast of India, delivery is available within eight miles of the restaurant for pre-orders with at least 24 hours’ notice. Orders for addresses within three miles can be received with fewer than 24 hours’ notice."

"Understandably, in a country in love with Indian food, London has a wealth of Michelin-starred Indian restaurants.Trishna is a firm favourite. Focusing on the food of India’s coastal regions, the menu features abundant dishes and flavours to quicken the heart: try classic aloo chat or Welsh lamb shoulder with pickled sorrel leaves and Guntur teja chilli."

"Peckham Levels, F1-F6 Peckham Town Centre Carpark, 95A Rye Ln, London SE15 4ST Why should you care?. This comes from Chef Andrea Ascuiti, one of the people who started Streatham's much-lauded Bravi Razgazzi. Alongsode classics will be pizzas like the Truffle Mushroom and expect some "Neapolitan tapas" too."

"A post shared by Shaka Zulu (@shakazululdn) on Jul 11, 2020 at 1:09am PDT. Get a taste of South Africa at Shaka Zulu, a lively restaurant, bar and nightclub in Camden. Boards full of exotic grilled meats, unusual cocktails, lavish decor, and infectious toe-tapping music makes this Camden Market two-storey venue a good option for a memorable night out."

"A South African themed club, Shaka Zulu first opened its doors to the jet-setting crowd of London back in 2010. Over the last nine years, this club has soared striking heights of popularity. It has set out to be the perfect venue for a variety of celebrations, including private parties, birthdays and corporate events."

"This is undoubtedly the world’s most famous upmarket department store and there is little wonder why. With over 300 departments, it offers a wide range of products and services that go from bargains to luxury products. Customers can expect the latest in electronics, jewellery, sporting gear, toys, cosmetics, fragrances, home appliances and women, men and children fashion."

"This world-famous department store in Knightsbridge has undergone something of a Renaissance in recent years, with a major update and cool new brands. The Egyptian staircase is one of the top London Instagram spots. Best shot: Harrods looks as beautiful from the inside as it does outside."

"As one of the most luxurious and popular department stores in Britain, Harrods is known for being the place to purchase anything: from fashion, to property, to vintage port.[Learn more]"

"Slightly out of London is this fantastic station which is great for photography due to the patterns and shapes. To get here take the Central Line eastbound. I thank my friend Neil for introducing me to this cool station."

"Kensington Palace (fee*) is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens. It began as a fairly humble 17th century two-storey Jacobean mansion and was expanded by the royal family into the giant royal residence it is today."
