The 38 Best London Restaurants, According to Eater’s Local Dining Expert

"Open for: Lunch and dinnerPrice range: $$Gerrard Street’s Cantonese institution needs little introduction. Wong Kei is a decades-old London restaurant famous for its multistory dining room, roast meats (duck, char siu), wontons, red-ringed plates, and the now-cult (if much overstated) brusque service. Its enduring appeal — in spite of newer, trendier, regionally diverse restaurants in central London’s Chinatown — is its faithfulness to the traditions of dependable and delicious Cantonese cooking in the U.K., the stuff of a bygone era. In other words, it’s a giant, 500-seat living monument to a time before bubble waffles and Instagram-first openings.Best for: A nostalgic UK-Cantonese meal with a group." - Adam Coghlan
