37. The Library at County Hall

TheForkUserThe Library is beautiful. My father worked there for 25 years and it was amazing that over 4000 of the original books remained there.Chandia, our waiter was superb. Very charming, helpful and a pleasure.Our only reservation was the sandwiches in the Afternoon Tea. There were so meanly filled. Although they should be of delicate construction, the filling was hard to define as there was so little of it. The offer of more sandwiches was nice but one doesn’t want to fill up on bread.The pastries were beautiful which emphasized the sandwiches looking rather pathetic.

38. Amaya

日下文Amaya is a modern Indian restaurant. Unlike the usual curry-based Indian restaurants, Amaya's reputation comes from its innovative grilled tapas. The open kitchen in the restaurant is equipped with a proper charcoal grill and a kiln grill, and the grilled food is very tasty. As for recommendations, the turmeric and tarragon chicken tikka with fresh gravy and the flashed-grill rocket oysters are the best. There are also Indian flatbreads freshly made from the kiln grill, which are rich in onion and garlic flavor and have a slightly chewy taste. The vegetarian food is not amazing, but the combination of novel ingredients is harmonious. After a round of grilled food, it is appropriate to order a chicken and apricot briyani made with aged Indian fragrant rice, accompanied by a small bowl of pomegranate and brooding raita dotted with rose petals, and the strong taste in your mouth will turn into light and elegant in an instant. Overall rating: Delicious and ambience/high score, unique Indian cuisine, worth a visit. Unfortunately, it is slightly below my expectations for a one-star restaurant.

红妆人NefelibataTo be honest, it's a bit expensive and not cost-effective. But at least the warm taste is guaranteed. It's not a stunning taste, but it's OK. If you are curious, you can try it. There are many other light meals.

KevinIt’s near London Bridge, and the famous place is just like the name of the restaurant. Every dish has his story, and there will be something like a catalog to read, but some of the English words are a bit obscure and the reading is not very in-depth.

Hyt-xoIn the Marriott Hotel next to the London Eye, you can see the Thames from the window. It is a very formal British restaurant. The waiters are wearing tuxedos. It feels very good to be served. Various steaks are the signature here. It is a perfect dinner.

44. Kitchen Table

No.15 of Fine Dining in London

M43***62We had a choice of 12 or 14 courses, the 14 was courses was around £200/head. You will need to book several weeks in advance as they only sit 20 people (around the kitchen table). To be able to watch the a dozen chefs cook and prepare 14 courses in front of you is an incredible experience. It’s got 2 Michelin stars, and both very well deserved. As you sit around the kitchen table (for 2-3 hours) the experience works best for couples.
