Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Great Amwell

"Sushisamba is always a hit for Asian dining, with excellent food (think Japanese with a South American twist) and stellar views at its City site. Located at the famed Opera Terrace atop the historic Grade II-listed Market Building, this striking space is crowned by an Eric Parry-designed glass roof. Bold in design, the restaurant offers a host of inviting dining and drinking experiences: from the bar with its ‘living ceiling’, the exposed kitchen and high energy sushi bar, to the terrace overlooking The Piazza below, and the private dining room with its own entrance and terrace."

"Sushi Samba is housed on the 38th floor of Heron Tower, offering Japanese-Brazilian-Peruvian sushi in a design-savvy setting. With locations in Las Vegas, Miami Beach and NYC, London’s offering is in good company, boasting the highest outdoor dining terrace in Europe. The result is unparalleled, 360 degree views of the City.sushisamba.comDon’t miss our guide to London’s most Instagrammable restaurants"

"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."

"For truly excellent dim sum in a sleek, stylish setting, there are few places in London that match contemporary tea room Yauatcha. Yet another standout Asian offering from Alan Yau (Hakkasan, The Duck And Rice, Wagamama and more), after opening in 2004, Yauatcha was awarded a Michelin star and has held onto it ever since. Located on the corner of Broadwick Street in Soho (although there’s also a newer, City outpost), passers-by line up to stare through the blue glass walls at the rows of picture-perfect patisseries."

"Fragrant noodle dishes, meat-filled wontons and lip-smacking curries are served at Yauatcha on Soho's Broadwick Street, where dimly lit interiors are adorned with sleek furnishings. Be sure to save room for dessert - try the "Winter Sun", an exotic fruit mousse served with black-sesame cream and a banana-toffee compote, or the praline brownie topped with salted yuzu caramel."

"Dim sum fans, you haven’t lived until you’ve eaten at Michelin-starred Yauatcha. This isn’t like any dim sum restaurant you’ve experienced. A self-styled teahouse, interiors are sleek and contemporary, done out in wood and vibrant cobalt blue, and the all-day dim sum is, to put it simply, mind-blowing."

"Restaurants American Shoreditch. An edgy bricks-and-mortar site from pop-up vendor David Carter, Smokestak peddles smoke and meat like it’s going out of fashio. The stygian semi-industrial space may feel like a medieval nightclub, but there’s no arguing with the home-cured salami or the sweet, smoky, salty brisket brushed with barbecue sauce and bone-marrow butter – just be sure to order plenty of citrusy fennel and celery slaw as a palate-cleansing counterbalance."

"Why: In spite of being just moments from Shoreditch station, this industrial-chic BBQ smokehouse feels slightly off the beaten track. Whether that’s due to the lack of signage or the achingly hip clientele, we’re unsure, but what we are sure about is the delectable dishes Smokestak serves. We recommend going all-American with the ample feasting menu, which features all the best dishes including bone marrow flatbread, pork belly rib, beef brisket and sticky toffee pudding.Where:Smokestak, 35 Sclater Street, Shoreditch"

"Taking industrial-chic to a new level, this dark and dingy Shoreditch restaurant is a no-frills affair. The food however, is very much on the indulgent side with the menu consisting of barbecue sharing plates (be prepared for your clothes to stink of smoke). Must-orders include the crispy fried pig’s tails and the brisket bun with pickled red chilli, while the sticky toffee pudding topped with smoky burnt butter ice cream provides an appropriately decadent finish."

"Restaurants British Fitzrovia. Expect a banging all-day brunch menu at this attractive Fitzrovia brasserie when the weekend comes around. Buttermilk pancakes and various hollandaise riffs loom large (try the avocado and chard florentine), but also dive into classics such as shakshuka, kedgeree, smashed avo with dill salsa or chorizo hash with curly kale."

"Located slightly further north, Riding House Café is the sister establishment of Rail House Café. It offers similarly delightful food and a covered terrace to eat it on."

"Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer’s original restaurant, the charming Honey & Co. in Fitzrovia, has been fitted with a sizeable covered terrace, which feels suitable for the still-excellent range of Middle Eastern dishes, like grilled aubergine, egg, tahina, and pita at breakfast or slow-cooked lamb shoulder shawarma and prawns baked in a spiced tomato and pepper matbucha sauce with cracked wheat."

"The Big Breakfast with green shaksuka is a marvel, but as it’s only served till 11:25a.m. — and only sadists demand ‘brunch’ pre-midday — get stuck into masterful mezze, followed by individual mains such as Essaouira fish tagine with Cornish sea bass, chickpeas and swiss chard in chermoula sauce; or roasted mauve aubergines with a BBQ tahini crust."

"Honey & Co have put together weekly meals that you can pick up at their Honey & Spice deli. Recent dishes have included lamb shawarma, chicken tagine and even afternoon tea. The self-saucing chocolate cake sounds like a must too."

"A short walk from Paddington tube station, Smith's Bar & Grill is one of the best outdoor restaurants in West London. Join them on the terrace for a slick Christmas offering, complete with roast turkey and pudding with brandy custard."

"You’re more than likely to rub shoulders with a fair few A-listers around Mayfair, the affluent neighbourhood that’s home to The May Fair. Rooms combine ruby-red velvet furniture, beds piled with goose-down duvets and Sicilian marble bathrooms, but the themed suites are more extravagant. The fuschia Schiaparelli Suite oozes glamour, with chaise lounges and a free-standing egg-shaped bath."

"How can you go to London without having some fish and chips?. If your family is looking for this classic British dish done right, look no further than the Mayfair Chippy. There’s no kids’ menu here, but don' let that deter you - the fish and chips are the star of the show."

"Located in Hyde Park on the banks of London’s Serpentine, this once-controversial behemoth opened in 2004. Made from 545 Cornish granite stones, it was designed ‘to express Diana’s spirit and love of children’. There were some early slippage problems and for a time the guards were a bit cranky about anyone jumping into the children’s play area, but they’ve since relaxed."

"There are a number of famous landmarks within the park including Serpentine Lake where you can hire a row boat, Speakers’ Corner and the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain along with countless statues. Enjoy a coffee or bite to eat from one of the two cafes on the lake or just get lost walking around the miles and miles of pathways."

"Although the fountain isn’t deep enough for swimming, it is still a beautiful spot in Hyde Park to explore in the summertime, especially with kids!. A stream of water flows down the riverbed and collects in a lower pool. So for a refreshing treat, explorers are encouraged to get in the water!"
