London
With a population north of ten million, London is Europe's largest city, spreading across an area of more than 620 square miles from its core on the River Thames. It's a cultural melting pot and offers its residents and visitors endless opportunities to be thrilled, entertained and amused!
Often called “The Big Smoke,” London is world famous for its fantastic West End theatre productions and sumptuous designer shopping districts, although the list of things to do really is endless and all tastes are catered for. Art Galleries, Museums, Restaurants, Spas, Sports Attractions (especially football!) and Parks are in abundance. And with a bit of planning (especially on how to navigate the Underground) your visit to the leading global city of London will be truly unforgettable!...

Busaba Eathai has been going for ten years now, and is certainly one of my favourite places to eat in London. They have several locations already established in the capital, and no doubt they will continue to expand in years to come.
The restaurants come from the same culinary whiz who created globally renowned chains such as Wagamama, Hakassan (London's only Michelin star Chinese restaurant) and, more recently, Yauatcha, which has also received a Michelin Star. This person is, of course, Alan Yau (if the last restaurant did not give the game away).
The food at Busaba Eathai is Thai, and I challenge you to find a tastier version of any of their dishes at any restaurant in town. The biggest problem when going there is choosing what to eat, because everything is that good. Therefore, I find the best way is to go with a group of friends and order lots to share.
The menu is largely based around three types of food: curries, noodles and stir fries. I'd definitely recommend the mussaman duck curry, the green thai curry, the ostrich, fried chicken, pandan chicken, the pad thai... the list could go on, as the entire menu is so delicious.
Certainly, you could walk past the Bird Street branch near Selfridges without even knowing it is there; with darkened windows, low lighting and incense burning they have certainly managed to take you out of London for an hour or so which is a great feeling. The food comes fast, the prices are reasonable and to go there is to become an avid fan.
I used to love Wagamama; now I love Busaba.

It was our second visit..we wanted a special place to celebrate and naturally Chez Patrick was the obvious choice,since we enjoyed it so much few month ago.
Still very good food and service,
The owner and his team looked well after us too,despite having almost a full house.
Few new dishes since our last visit,a face lift inside- outside was done,so little subtle changes but nothing to throw you out of your comfort zone...i like that too.
A very,very pleasant evening indeed.We hope to go back sooner this time.

I´m part Italian, and all I have to say is that this is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to. The food is very tasty and well served. The staff was perfect. The price is high for the food, but it is worth it.

I was walking around and noticed this restaurant so I decided to stop by for lunch. I really though that the restaurant was great. The staff was very attentive and not push at all. I had all the time I wanted to relax and order. The quality of food was great as well. The prices are also great, especially for London. I´ll be back!
