Where to go for the best ramen in London

Time to share where to eat the best ramen in London. From Tonkotsu and Ippudo to Bone Daddies and Kanada-Ya, where will you go for your bowl of noodle soup?

Who doesn’t love ramen? When it comes to ramen joints, it seems Londoners just can’t get enough of them.

It’s cool to slurp… in fact, it’s something we want to do regularly, and in public! And it’s something we’re happy to wait for. Yes you’ll find with all of the options below, you’re likely to pay your dues in queues.

REVIEW: Weekend Brunch At Hakkasan, London

Delicious dim sum at Hakkasan, London

Hakkasan’s Weekend Brunch is a delicious, generous and beautifully boozy!

N.B. I reviewed Hakkasan’s Dim Sum Sunday menu, which has now been extended to run all weekend, under the name Hakkasan Weekend Brunch. 

As I descended the dark staircase into Hakkasan’s Central London lair, I wondered what would await me. Emerging into an area of blue mood lighting, beautiful flowers and with the scent of jasmine and patchouli in the air, it felt like the entrance to a high-end spa.

Peeking through mahogany partitions, I could see a DJ playing a soothing chill-out mix while a fashionable crowd enjoyed fruity cocktails and steamers filled with brightly-coloured dim sum.

REVIEW: Bar Boulud, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park

Bar Boulud, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London

Find out more about the food, menu and prices at Michelin starred chef Daniel Boulud’s London restaurant, in this review of Bar Boulud, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park.

Daniel Boulud may have two Michelin stars at his stateside restaurant, but even for me, jetting to NYC for lunch felt a little extravagant… So I popped along to Bar Boulud at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park to check out his London base.

When I had the opportunity to visit Bar Boulud at the Mandarin Oriental for lunch last week, I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. One of my sisters happened to be visiting from Sweden and was more than happy to be my date. It was shaping up to be the perfect girly catch up!

We entered Bar Boulud, passed the long sophisticated bar and took our seats in the heart of the buzzy dining room. Service was friendly and it wasn’t long before we were deliberating wine options while simultaneous eyeing up every plate that appeared from the kitchen. Sky-high burgers, colourful tapas and delicious seafood aromas breezed past us, causing us to change our minds several times!
