Cheap but nice restaurants to go to in London?

Question

We are on a low budget but want a dead nice restaurant, somewhere in the centre of London, with a great atmosphere...and cheap! Any ideas??

And nowhere like MacDonalds, or Pizza Hut thank you very much!

Thanks :)

Answer 1

There's a few chain restaurants that are excellent: Ping Pong, Busaba Eathai, Wagamama, Carluccio's.

Answer 2

There aren't any cheap restaurants in central London

You can always try Nando's

Answer 3

Go of the beaten track and try the restaurants of the side streets.

Although the stock pot chain in soho is good fresh food, there are also a lot of italians reasonably priced in soho.

For good market food go to spitlefields on a sunday along with good off street cafes around there.

Brick lane for a good curry - east end.

There used to ba a great tapas restaurant on the flower market, dont know if its still there.

You can eat cheap and well in london - just keep away from the main streets and tourist haunts - and chains - yuk

Answer 4

Try Dexter's Bar & Grill in Wandsworth (or though it's a chain so they'll probably be all over London). It's not cheap as such, but if you choose wisely a main and a drink will only set you back £10.
