Chic Delights: Collage of Life Blog

This is the second post that I am presenting to you about Places to Eat in major cities that I have visited. My first post which was very well received was the Weekend In New York Part II: EAT! I love food and eating out in restaurants. I enjoy the taste, the colour, the texture of food and the ambiance of the place. I am presenting here my own TOP 5 eating places that I visited in London. Believe me, it was not easy to choose the Top 5 but here they are. I hope you will enjoy them too.

TOP 5 London: Places to EAT.

1. Harrods

Fish & Chips at the Terrace Bar.

When I arrived in London, of course I was longing to eat some English food. The most classic of all English Food is Fish & Chips. This Fish & Chips at Harrods Terrace Bar on the Fourth Floor is to die for! First of all they offer many different kinds of bread that you can choose from. I chose the Olive Bread which I already ate hence it is not part of this picture. Then I also tried the Walnut and raisin bread roll which is in this picture. English butter here is soo creamy. I love it already. Then the Fish is so white and creamy too that it melts in your mouth. The Fish batter is not greasy at all. Then the chips! Crispy and fat chips. Why can't they make chips like that here in North America? The green stuff is Green Peas mash which is also delicious- believe it or not! The whole meal is very filling and delicious! I loved it! Service in the restaurant is impeccable too as expected at Harrods!
Beside the Terrace Bar in the Fourth Floor is the Georgian Restaurant which is Harrods more formal restaurant. They offer A la carte menu too but if you are looking for Buffet around London, this is one of the best places for Buffet if you would like to spend around forty pounds per person.

Organic Ham with tomato and lettuce on Baguette from the Harrods Food Hall. When I was too tired to eat out, I purchased this baguette from Harrods Food Hall. These are freshly made sandwiches which are so popular especially after 5pm, as they are sold for half price. I only paid for 4.75 pounds for this sandwich. It is for take out and I ate it in my hotel room. I have to admit that this taste better than the baguettes in Paris! Usually the baguettes in Paris are quite hard to bite and chew. This one I actually ate the whole thing.The dough on the baguette is so soft and quite crispy plus the Organic ham has a salty taste too which I like. Again this is another filling and delicious dinner meal for me.

My Dessert of Dark Chocolate and Walnuts cake, all from Harrods Food Hall.

Other restaurant that I tried at Harrods is Laduree, famous for their Parisian macarons. Laduree has a la carte menu too. Unfortunately, they do not allow pictures to be taken in the cafe. But Laduree is one of my favourite places to eat whether in Paris, London or New York City.
