There’s a reason these London restaurants attract the patrons they do and your next London trip shouldn’t end without an experience to these eateries frequented (and approved) by celebrities.
Perhaps one of the most iconic restaurants in London for rubbing shoulders with A-listers, Chiltern Firehouse is best known for its legendary crab donuts and decadent Iberico pork. Located in Marylebone, this restaurant serves other tasty dishes like pan-roasted gnocchi, oysters and butter-poached cod. Don’t want to leave? Chiltern Firehouse also offers guestrooms, lofts and suites.
Mayfair’s Sketch is a celebrity favorite thanks to its eclectic décor, afternoon tea and Michelin-starred dining. The restaurant’s iconic pink room is a photo-worthy spot, and dinner at the Lecture Room & Library includes blue-fin tuna, Colchester lobster, seared wagyu ribeye steak and chocolate souffle, as well as a wine-pairing tasting menu.
Popular with celebrities like Benedict Cumberbatch and Pippa Middleton, Dishoom features branches all across London, including Covent Garden, King’s Cross and Shoreditch. This award-winning restaurant group draws inspiration from Bombay-style comfort food, with aromatic dishes like Dishoom Chicken Tikka and various Biryani plates.
A casual, Middle-Eastern inspired spot in Camden, The Good Egg embraces laid-back living with elevated Middle Eastern street food. Try the shakshuka or sabih, as well as plates filled with dips, meat and vegetables. There are even some tasty cocktails available.
With locations in Soho and London Bridge, The Breakfast Club is a fun spot to enjoy a full English breakfast or the brand’s famous pancakes, with the option to add toppings for an even more decadent meal. A favorite of model Cara Delevingne, The Breakfast Club also serves brunch, lunch and dinner.
Known for its high-quality burgers made with all British ingredients, Honest Burgers serves chicken, beef, vegan and vegetarian burgers and sandwiches. Singer Ed Sheeran particularly loves this chain. Try the Honest beef burger, made with Honest beef, red onion relish, smoked bacon, cheddar, lettuce and pickles.

Sep 24, 2024Discover this Little-Known Gem of a Course in Roatán, Honduras
Roatán was one of those best-kept secrets known only to scuba divers and snorkelers when I first visited it in the 1990s. A skinny little island off the north coast of Honduras, it sits on the world’s second-largest coral reef, an underwater paradise stretching 625 miles along the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. With its white-sand beaches, clear waters and friendly people, Roatán couldn’t remain undiscovered, but it is still one of the Caribbean’s better preserved and more eco- conscious destinations. It is not entirely immune to hurricanes, but it lies to the west of most major storm tracks.
