We’re big foodies! And we’re glad to know that exploring London’s food scene doesn’t have to be expensive. We’ve been in London for a while now and have had the chance to try a range of restaurants of all sorts. We selected these spots that we think are perfect for food lovers looking to enjoy great meals without spending a fortune.
1. Obicà in Canary Wharf
Obicà serves up an irresistible Torta di Capri at their Canary Wharf location. Eric and I often go there just for that treat. This traditional flourless cake is an absolute treat, rich and bursting with flavor. They also make delicious Chai lattes! It’s a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth, showcasing the simplicity and excellence of Italian desserts.
2. Phât Phúc
Located in the heart of London, Phât Phúc is a Malaysian gem where the laksa reigns supreme. Known for its authenticity and rich flavors, it’s considered one of the best in the city. Be prepared to wait, as it’s a popular spot, but the delicious, hearty laksa is well worth it. For example, when we went, we waited about 30 minutes.
3. Wright Bros in Battersea
We recently went to Wright Bros in Battersea for a Sunday lunch. Wright Bros offers a perfect balance of quality and value with their seafood dishes. The mussels are particularly noteworthy—perfectly sized and served in large portions. they come with fries too! Paired with reasonable prices and a cool locale, we really liked eating here.
4. Fatt Pundit
Fatt Pundit specializes in a fascinating blend of Guangdong and Calcutta cuisines, located right in Covent Garden. This fusion results in a vibrant, flavor-packed menu that made us very happy! We chose to try a few different dishes and share as it’s the style of the restaurant. It was really good and we would return!

We went to The Terrace for Eric’s birthday and it was super! This is probably one of the most affordable restaurants that serves some of the best Mediterranean food.

10. Dim Sum Duck
Dim Sum Duck, located on King’s Cross Road, is renowned for its exquisite dim sum. Be sure to arrive early to beat the crowds, as there’s often a wait. We waiting about 30 minutes on the sidewalk before being seated. Make sure also to come earlier than later as everything is fresh and some items stop being available as the night goes. The wait is a small price to pay for some of the best dim sum in town.
