The 30 best restaurants in London
The London restaurant scene is one of the world's best, and it runs the gamut from great British institutions that have been around for decades to trendy no-reservations spots that open faster than you can keep track of. It should come as little surprise that innovative and impressive chefs from all over the world are keen for a place at the (dinner) table here. Pull up a stool at a long steel counter to watch as Northern Thai dishes are cooked over open flames, sink into your leather booth and press the button for champagne to enjoy with lobster mac 'n' cheese, or order a whole spread of small plates inspired by Italy's diverse regions. If you're serious about food, you'll find London has plenty to offer. For further London inspiration, see our guides to the city's best hotels, pubs and bars, shopping and things to do. Find a restaurant by type: Best all-rounders Best for families Best for cheap eats Best for walk ins Best for fine dining Best for views Best for sharing plates Best all-rounders The Devonshire Come and worship at the recently revamped Soho pub that's said to do the best pint of Guinness outside of Dublin (something to do with the nitrogen ratio, apparently). Charismatic pub landlord Oisin Rogers, formerly of the much-loved Guinea Grill, has been plotting his vision for this freehouse and grill restaurant for ten years. Together with Flat Iron's Charlie Carroll they've created what they call your classic London pub – warm, welcoming, open to all. All wood panelled and cosy lighting, you go for one and feel inclined to stay for four (or more). The bar food comes homemade making use of the in-house butcher and bakery. Upstairs is the very hot table (in more ways than one) restaurant where Scottish beef, dry aged and butchered on site, is cooked on the ember grill, along with langoustines from Oban, lobster and hand-dived scallops. Is it pub or a restaurant? It's both, and they're both exceptional.

‘Split the G' TikTok Trend Is Driving a Guinness Sales Surge
It's midday on a Friday, and Oisin Rogers, co-founder of the Devonshire, is watching a familiar scene: a group of customers are standing outside his lauded Soho pub, Guinness foam round their mouths after their first gulps, holding their pint glasses up to eye level to determine which one of them has secured the bragging rights for most accurately 'splitting the G.' 'I probably see it about 120 times a day,' Rogers says matter-of-factly about the viral drinking game taking over UK pubs. 'They'll be in for another round shortly.'
