the mexican restaurant beside the notting hill arts club.

if i had to eat there every day, i think i'd be very very happy.

fat badger on portobello for sunday roasts
rasa in stoke newington for south indian
lahore in shadwell for meaty north indian
stringray on columbia road for pizza
real greek in hoxton and kaslik in soho for mezes
regency cafe in westminster for fry ups
the members' cafe at tate modern for the views

Cheap as chips Japanese which is dirt cheap and the portions are massive, but you often have to queue like forever to get in.

is pretty much my favourite i think, although that would come under favourite japanese and favourite budget.

favourite turkish: 19 numarra bos cirrik or ozlem in dalston.

pizza: italian graffiti or that cheap one on goodge st.

Song Que Vietnamese on Kingsland Rd
Dinos, Bethnal Green!
Navarros (Tapas), Charlotte Street W1
Bam Bou, Percy Street (WELL NICE)
Les Trois Garcons, Schwadditch if you want to spend all your savings.

It's a cheap place in hackney. Krazy decor and sexual toilet.

Crystal Charcoal Restaurant - 522 Holloway Road. Nicest Kebabs in London, really. You won't really want to go back to other kebabs again after eating in there.

The Shakespeare in Stoke Newington, where they let you order pizzas from the place next door. Also any of the cafes up that way that do £2.50 breakfasts.

I'm by no means a seasoned foodie, but I'm enjoying eating at Eat and Two Veg in Marylebone at the moment. It's a vegetarian diner style restaurant with a menu that changes quite often and reasonable-ish prices. It would be an idea to book for the evenings though. And don't let them try and put you near the front to make it look full, booths FTW.

on stoke newington high street is great, they do some cracking turkish breakfasts and the coffee is the best i've ever tasted. shame that they charge you about 8 quid for a small bag of it if you try to buy it off them (i think they (illegally) sell if you ask nicely)
