16 Of London’s Best Comfort Food Restaurants

6th February 2019 | By Emily Gray

Life is all about balance, some days you’re going to drink coconut water, go to HIIT and eat healthily. Other days, you’re going to be fuelled on hot chocolate, down coffee like it’s going out of fashion, and seek out all of life’s most comforting comfort foods. That’s the beauty of life, and when you’re having one of those days, try one of these restaurants.

Mews of Mayfair

Mews of Mayfair has stepped up to the comfort food mark with their own take on an offering we all know and love. If mac and cheese fritters with cranberry sauce sound good then get yourself down there, and find the offering on the Saints VS Sinners Menu. We think you’ll be a true saint to try it!

Where: 10 Lancashire Court New Bond Street W1S 1EY

Smith & Wollensky

Brunching At It's Best

Smith & Wollensky may be known for their steaks but their brunch is the perfect hangover food. Walk along the Thames first to build up an appetite/ cure the pounding headache and then tuck into smoked bacon hash with poached eggs, American waffles and piles of pancakes.

Where: The Adelphi, 1-11 John Adam Street, Covent Garden Riverside, London WC2N 6HT, United Kingdom

STK London

If this beast doesn’t look comforting then what does?! STK has recently launched their sharing-style dinner inspired by American and British dishes. As Brits, it’s a given that we absolutely love a Yorkshire pud – if you don’t, are you even British?! STK’s Giant Empire State Pudding won’t disappoint that’s for sure, firstly due to the sheer size of it and secondly because it tastes so darn good with its big base allowing you to pile up your plate with parmesan truffle fries, truffle mac and cheese American cornbread as well as roasted seasonal veg

Where: ME London, 336-337 The Strand, London WC2R 1HA, United Kingdom

The Ivy

It’s the most British thing on the planet and boy, do we dig that! Serving up a food that Chrissy Teigen quite literally travelled to London for, The Ivy’s Shepherds Pie is famous for its meaty treaty goodness and smotherings of mash. It’s simple, it’s British and it’s comfort food at its finest. Plus, have you ever seen a shepherd’s pie look so sexy?!

Fatties

All About That Salted Caramel Life

Fatties is back! The ultimate in comfort food, the salted caramel connoisseur which is based in Maltby Street Market serves up decadent, gooey brownies; hot chocolates which are next level extra and cookies which are so good you’ll forget all about that no sugar diet.

Where: Fatties x Browns East ,21 Club Row, E2 7EY

MeatUp

Short Rib Mac N' Cheese

This beef has gained itself quite the reputation at Meatup, and you’re about to find out why. It’s a fully traceable Irish Short Rib marinated overnight, laced with a secret house blend of spices, smoked over English Oak for a minimum of 4 hours and then cooked low and slow overnight. The chef has conjured up a unique Mac N Cheese to really set this dish alight. Made with four delicious cheeses with the beef short rib added into the mix.

Where: 350 Old York Road, London, London Borough of Wandsworth SW18 1SS, United Kingdom

Rudy's Dirty Vegan Diner

Veganuary Go-To

One for the vegans! As any vegan worth their salt will know, Camden is the place to go for vegan food with more and more vegan eateries popping up by the week. Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner was a new addition as of April 2018, joining neighbours like Young Vegans and V Burger. They have a weekly changing menu of American comfort food specials, including Rudy’s Reuben, a vegan pastrami grilled rye sandwich with all the trimmings – sauerkraut, cream cheeze, grilled onions and Russian dressing. If you have any room after that they serve cookie sandwiches in a variety of flavours like chocolate and cherry or chocolate chip and buttercream icing. Talk about salivating at the thought of things!

Where: North Yard, Camden Market, NW1 8AH
