London, often considered New York’s equal in many ways, stands as a culinary haven that continually fosters innovation and development in its vibrant food scene. While you can savor traditional offerings at historic sandwich shops and pubs, London’s strong international character opens the door to a diverse array of cuisines and exciting culinary creations. The city’s international flair also invites innovators to experiment with fusion cuisines, creating flavor combinations that pack an extra punch. In a time when the British government is exploring ways to promote healthier dining, from potentially expanding the current ‘sugar tax’ to requiring calorie counts on menus, private companies are also joining the movement by crafting healthier versions of beloved treats.

Arome: French-Asian Fusion Delights in Covent Garden

Arome, a delightful French-Asian fusion bakery nestled in the heart of Covent Garden, marries the precision of French patisserie techniques with flavors hailing from Singapore, Japan, and France. At Arome, you can tantalize your taste buds with inventive creations such as the miso bacon escargot or the apple Danish drizzled with miso caramel sauce, offering a unique and harmonious blend of global culinary influences.

Ekte: Norwegian-Inspired Culinary Creations

It’s a tantalizing blend of Norwegian traditions and London’s vibrant culinary scene.

Café Kitsune: A Taste of Tokyo in Belgravia

Café Kitsune, a renowned Japanese café chain with a global presence, has now found a home in London’s Belgravia, marking its UK debut. The café boasts a menu filled with delightful surprises.
