Travel Gourmet's Top 4 London Restaurants, London, England

When people hear about my blog, they often ask me which are my favourite restaurants and, of course, over the years the choices have changed. I’ve been writing this blog since 2011 and favourites then are perhaps not favourites now, or don’t even exist any more. When I was in Aldeburgh recently, someone in the lovely pub where I stay asked me what had been my best meal ever. I told her about going to Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, way back in 2014.
