London’s buzzing restaurant scene covers pretty much every cuisine known to man. From traditional Indian restaurants to authentic South American and Japanese, you can find your fix for whatever food you’re craving. And for those days, when you don’t want to settle for just one – we have fusion restaurants that mix and match cuisines to create some eclectic flavours that range from the wild to the wonderful (and very often, both).

Sucre
Latin American & European

Belly

Belly is a Filipino-French fusion spot that feels both intimate and eye-catching. On an unassuming street in Kentish Town, the bold red sign and warm, modern interior instantly pull you in. With just a handful of tables, it’s always buzzing, giving off that if you know, you know feel. Cosy, cool, and the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto a secret.
The standout dish for me was the Cured Scallops “Bicol Express.” The scallops sit in a coconut cream sauce so good you’ll drink it straight from the shell. Even my friend who swears he hates seafood was converted.
