Allow me to introduce you to one of my new favorite restaurants in London: Bao & Bing!
Located in Marylebone, Bao & Bing is a Taiwanese street food restaurant with delicious cocktails. I’ve had the pleasure of eating at Bao & Bing twice now and both times have been incredible. I’ve curated a delicious assortment of photos and recommendations for you. Warning: If you’re not hungry you will be by the end!
As someone who loves catching up with friends over a good meal or an innovative cocktail, London has no shortage of wonderful places to visit (and re-visit)! If you’re new to The SavvyBostonian Blog, I keep a massive London Guide which links to allllll of my recommended places in London. From restaurants to places to excellent cocktails, things to do and more, I’ve got you covered. For my latest additions to my London Guide, I’m adding my favorite Marylebone anytime spot, two fabulous Italian restaurants with very different vibes, an incredible Greek restaurant and a trendy Chelsea spot made famous by a certain reality TV show. Read on – but be warned, the food photos will make you hungry!
If you like fresh and healthy greek food in the form of sharable small plates, you’re in luck. I recently discovered Opso in Marylebone and am now smitten. Between a vibrant atmosphere, innovative cocktails with greek liquors and a wide range of sharable small plates, Opso ticks off many boxes.
Opso is located in Marylebone and its inspiration comes from its name, which means, “a delectable morsel of food, a delicacy.” The restaurant serves breakfast/weekend brunch, lunch and dinner. I went recently for dinner and a drink at the bar. Here’s what I ordered.
Please allow me to introduce you to a delightful small plates place called The Providores on Marylebone High Street. Specializing in innovative fusion food, The Providores also apparently serves London’s largest range of New Zealand premium wines – aka a homerun in my book.
The Providores has two levels, with the upstairs a more formal dining room and the downstairs a casual walk-in spot that doesn’t take reservations. As a result, you’ll often see people lingering around outside, especially on the weekends for their legendary brunch.
On this visit, we opted for a few of my favorites to share. The first was Laksa, a smoked coconut, a prawn and lemongrass dumpling soup with green tea noodles, crispy shallots and coriander. The restaurant was nice enough to split the portion for us to share.
