Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Twickenham

"Sky Garden pairs epic views with tasty cocktails and an indoors garden, how can you not love that?. Sky Garden has a 360° view all around London and a number of different bars and restaurants inside it. Access to Sky Garden is free but you have to book in advance if you want to skip the queues, don’t worry if you forget about booking, you can still access Sky Garden but you will have to wait a little longer before taking your perfect Instagram shots."

"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."

"Branches of the growing chain of Sushisamba restaurants can be found in New York, Chicago, Miami and beyond. London’s outpost is found on the 38th and 39th floors of the City’s Heron Tower so it’s likely you’ll see deals being brokered at nearby tables, but the atmosphere is kept in check by personable staff and the spread of dating couples out to have a good time. The menu’s an eclectic mix, too, featuring a blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, alongside one of the most comprehensive sake selections in the city."

"Who’d have thought bringing Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine could work so well?. Well, thanks to SUSHISAMBA you can enjoy the energy and spirit of these three distinct cultures in one sitting. So whether you’re after a Japanese hit, a taste of Peruvian cooking or, a touch of Brazilian fire, there’s certainly options for all!"

"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."

"A sour, hesitant welcome by a pompous ground-floor doorman made for a bad start to my visit to Duck & Waffle on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower. Once in situ service is still somewhat inconsistent - I found it slow at times, over-attentive at others - but overall the vibe here is relaxed and informal. The destination is more moderately priced than Sushisamba below, the clientele more diverse and the offering more accessible."

"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."

"If you’ve not yet made your way up the Heron Tower for brekky, you must get Duck and Waffle‘s signature dish when you do. The combination of crispy confit of duck leg and a fried duck egg, both served on a crisp yet fluffy waffle, is surprisingly delightful. It’s topped with a tangy mustardy maple syrup for the perfect amount of sweetness alongside the savoury."

"In a nutshell: Sandwiches with an East Asian twist Where is it?. 103 Talbot Road, London W11 2AT Why should you care?. Having delivered across London, The Secret Sandwich Shop is opening their real-life sandwich shop."

"Swanky Barcelona export Amazónico has become one of the most-talked-about restaurants in London since arriving in Berkeley Square, promising big, bold design, exotic dishes and an upbeat atmosphere already giving neighbour Sexy Fish a serious run for its money. Housed in an old bank, Amazónico is South American-themed, with verdant greenery, wood fittings, parrot-feather pops of colour and even an under-the-sea-style sushi area. It’s really rather reminiscent of an ultra-chic rainforest café, and we mean that in a good way."

"The Berkeley Square haunt has become the go-to place to head for a next level date night. Inspired quite literally by the Amazon rainforest, expect a flurry of shrubbery and hanging palms, and even the occasional peacock running around…. Where: 10 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, W1J 6BRWebsite:www.amazonicorestaurant.com"

"Amazonico London follows on from its successful Madrid sibling which has been known to host notable guests - from celebs to politicians. The interiors are jungle-themed and the menu is a mix of Asian, Mediterranean and Brazilian food."

"A feast for the eyes as well as the tastebuds, new Kings Cross restaurant Magenta features vivid interiors in its titular colour. Designed by British designer Henry Chebaane, the striking spot echoes the 19th century heritage of the building in which it is housed, with rich fabrics and thousands of pink and silver butterflies fluttering overhead. From here, enjoy a northern Italian-inspired menu courtesy of head chef Manuele Bazzoni, who brings with him 15 years of experience in the culinary world."

"Steve Parle is quietly and confidently making quite the name for himself as one of London’s most talented and creative chef-restaurateurs. Having worked at the River Café and Petersham Nurseries, he is a pop-up pioneer (with the Moveable Kitchen), a writer (he is the author of three cookbooks and a former newspaper columnist), a TV presenter (with a series on Channel 4) and the head of a burgeoning restaurant group (Dock Kitchen, Rotorino, Craft, Sardine and Palatino). His latest venture in Soho is a bright and buzzy pasta place that is heavy on flavour but light on the wallet."

"Restaurants Italian Soho. Relive that famous father-and-son lunchtime moment from the movie ‘Bicycle Thieves’ by ordering a fried mozzarella sandwich for your little boy (or girl) at Pastaio – chef Stevie Parle’s artisan pasta joint in Soho. Bowls of the glistening hand-made stuff also come in small-sized servings for kids in need of carbs."

"A pasta restaurant brought to you by restaurateur and chef Stevie Parle. Step inside for fresh, high quality pasta, made by hand, all for a low price."

"If, however, you fancy extra flavour then head to Teddington’s popular brunch spot The Fallow Deer for their Greek-style scrambled eggs on souvlaki bread with feta, mint and chilli oil sautéed tomatoes."

"This Chinatown spot isn’t the only place doing soft serve in London. But it is one of the only places I’ve found that does excellent soft serve with brown tapioca, and as someone who is very much addicted to boba, it’s a yes from me. There are four flavours of soft serve, vanilla, black sesame, rose lychee, and matcha - which you can choose to have in a taiyaki - a Japanese fish-shaped waffle cone - or in a cup."

"In the buzz of Chinatown’s Newport Court, it can be hard to settle on just one ice cream spot. But sadly, one ice cream is the socially acceptable amount, so if you do pick one, pick this one. This little Japanese dessert shop specialises in taiyako - a fish-shaped cake filled with things like peanut butter and Nutella - which they even fill with things like their rose lychee soft serve."

"We’ve expressed our love for Jefferson’s time and time again, and with good reason, their ice cream selection is on a whole new level. Stemming from a love of natural food and free from artificial flavours, Jefferson’s is devoted to celebrating quality. The ice cream is made in-house every morning, using only the finest ingredients available."

"This Balham dessert bar serves up fresh ice cream made with organic milk in flavours like caramel popcorn, vanilla honeycomb, and cold-pressed coffee. If you don’t want just one scoop, you can also get stacked sundaes, milkshakes, waffles, crepes and more."

"Restaurants Austrian Marylebone. If your idea of romance is waltzing round old Vienna to the sound of Strauss, you can capture some of that old ‘Blue Danube’ magic with a trip to this instantly comforting Mittel-European number from Messrs Corbin & King. Schnitzels, sausages, ice-cream coupes and – of course – incomparable viennoiserie provide welcome sustenance, with excellent hot chocolate and coffee adding that vital X factor."

"Corbin and King’s refined Marylebone homage to Viennese waltzes past and present is always a fine, low-key luxurious breakfast venue, and in the spirit of fried batter its Austrian crêpes, served either with apricot and brandy jam or a gianduja-approximating hazelnut and chocolate, make a winning centrepiece around which to build an Austrian feast."

"The Heath Robinson Museum is a biographical museum dedicated to the life and art of its namesake. The museum displays memorabilia, artwork, and objects from the life of Heath Robinson, as well as hosts exhibitions and events that support Robinson's life mission and vision. Admission to the museum is free."

"For those who prefer more contemporary art to classical works, head to the Tate Modern on the south bank of the River Thames. Located inside of the former Bankside Power Station, the Tate Modern is Britain’s national gallery of international modern art, housing a huge collection of contemporary and modern artwork from 1900 to the present day, with artists including Picasso, DalÍ­, Pollock and Warhol. The Tate Modern is the most visited art museum in Britain and the second most visited museum in the UK after the British Museum."

"The Tate Modern is a modern art gallery located on the south bank of the River Thames. They have a permanent free exhibition, as well as seasonal ones that you will have to pay for if you want to see them. Personally I found the permanent free exhibition more than enough to occupy a full afternoon."

"PRACTICAL INFORMATION: The museum is open daily from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Time slots must be booked in advance on the museum’s website here. Admission to the general exhibit is free."

"This family-run locals’ favourite in Shepherd’s Bush is known for its super authentic North Eastern Thai cuisine. The occasionally eccentric service and slightly tired traditional décor only add to the charm. The flavours here are unusual, fresh and deeply satisfying."

"But, bear with us as this Borough Market restaurant has launched what we think could be the best veggie burger around. Avert your eyes from the nose-to-tail butchery and focus instead on the Ultimate Veggie Burger – a quinoa and beetroot based patty sandwiched between a charcoal brioche bun with pickled carrot chutney and an avocado tahini dressing. In recent years they've upped their commitment to veggie food so even if you're not a burger fan, there will be plenty to tempt you on the dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu."

"From Lindisfarne oysters and beetroot carpaccio to pork belly and East Anglian chateaubriand, this charming British restaurant in Borough offers a welcoming and stylish place to eat come lunch, dinner or afternoon tea."

"Head to Borough Market where this charming bar and restaurant boasts a slap up selection of plates to dine out on, from meaty burgers and succulent steaks, to a range of unique daily specials."
