Taste of London

Taste of London

The Taste of London in Regent’s Park is one of the best places to get a feel of the best restaurants in town. Gourmet restaurants celebrate food by putting on a fabulous preview of their signature dishes in enticing bite size portions. As foodies with ever growing lists of restaurants to try, it’s a great way of savouring them all in one night. Eat little and often to optimise your tasting potential. There are lots of fun places to sit and enjoy food and drink, so a quick scan of the list of restaurants and bars to plan your evening is the best way forward.

Trying to get a table at Duck & Waffle without several months of reservation is unheard of. So it’s rather exciting to walk straight to the front of the queue and finally get to try the infamous signature “Duck & Waffle”. What seems to be very much an American concept, works surprisingly well. Crispy duck is piled high on a waffle, doused in maple syrup and topped with an egg sprinkled with mustard seeds. It’s unusual, but definitely worth trying once.
