Though eating out is increasingly expensive in London, there’s no reason to fall into Wagamama’s flavourless arms or lean yet again on a branch of Ivy brasserie, which should only ever be used as a last resort.
London is full of accessible dining. And at restaurants that might otherwise appear out of reach. Scores of independent, family-run places, else smaller groups that still operate as a restaurant rather than a food factory, offer excellent set menus. Some are periodical and subject to change, but most are available throughout the year.
