In London for Olympics? Don't Forget to Eat!

For those lucky enough to be in London to celebrate the Olympics and all its incredible festivities - KUDOS to you! The city is alive with the sheer electricity of the event, but even on its own merits,  London is one of the most visited cities in the world!

If you are in London or thinking about visiting London in the future, here are a few restaurants that have tantalized taste buds of visitors from around the world:

• Hereford Road (/www.herefordroad.org/)  is open for lunch and dinner. The restaurant boasts itself as "bringing whole-hearted, robust, simple British cooking ... using the great wealth of our national produce." Located on, where else, but 3 Hereford Road, Westbourne Grove, London, W2 4AB.

• With its 2 star Michelin rating, L'Autre Pied (www.lautrepied.co.uk/) serves up delicious  French Cuisine in a festive and interestingly decorated environment. L'Autre Pied is located at 5-7 Blandford Street, London W1U 3DB (don't miss its sister restaurant - Pied à Terre).

• Located in the popular Piccadilly area of London,  The Wolsely (/www.thewolseley.com/) serves up delectable European fare throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have daily High Tea that should not be missed.
• If you are looking for an elegant and perfectly executed High Tea experience, make a reservation for High Tea at the incomparable Savoy (www.fairmont.com/savoy-london/dining/savoytea/). Situated in the Upper Thames Foyer; this newly renovated (multi-million dollar Fairmont property) has hosted some of the biggest names and talents in the world. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ambiance of the luxurious Savoy Tea.

London hasn't always been known for its culinary fare; however, over the past ten to twenty years, the landscape of the chefs coming up through the ranks and opening up restaurants in London (Chef Gordon Ramsey, to name one of the most popular), has significantly raised the bar for those foodie finders out there.

Regardless if you are able to stop into one of these Gold Medal establishments or not; just make sure to grab a pint (or two) at a local pub and partake of some Bangers & Mash or Fish & Chips!
