Ideas for Foodies

The best way to dive deep into the culture of any place is through the local cuisine. With every bite, you get to learn about people’s traditions, history, and, of course, their unique way of life. So, if you’re new to the UK and want to immerse yourself in all things British, we suggest going on a culinary adventure. You can begin your journey with these places across the country. 

London

You probably must have had or heard of the famous meal – English Breakfast. Well, you will not get as authentic an English breakfast as you will at The Wolseley. They serve it up with the classic eggs, bacon, black pudding, and more. If you’re more into fine dining, you can head over to The Ledbury, known for its two Michelin Stars, and try their exquisitely modern British cuisine. 

Edinburgh

Edinburgh is renowned for its Scottish charm. You definitely should not miss out on their hearty cuisine. Some of their popular dishes are haggis, neeps, and tatties, prepared from sheep, turnips, and potatoes. If traditional food is what you’re looking for, The Royal McGregor has out-of-this-world haggis, served with whisky cream sauce. If you’re feeling fancy, The Kitchen serves food made with French cooking techniques. 

Cornwall

With fresh fish and shellfish available all over, Cornwall is a destination for all seafood lovers. Make your way to Philips Famous Pasties to try out their lip-smacking, traditional Cornish pasty. For dinner, you can explore local seafood at Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, a restaurant that has earned two Michelin Stars. 

Liverpool 

If you are ever in Liverpool, you cannot miss out on their comfort food like scouse, stew, and hotpot, a casserole made with lamb and potatoes. Maggie May’s restaurant serves one of the best scouse out there. You’ll also love the food at The Art School, which offers a modern take on British cuisine using seasonal ingredients. 

Manchester

From street food markets to fine dining restaurants, Manchester has one of the most lively food cultures. Zouk Tea Bar & Grill has the city’s most famous Indian curries, with a great selection of teas. For a high-end experience, you can visit Mana, with a Michelin Star, reservation-only restaurant with a locally sourced avant-garde menu. 

Whether you’re a gourmet seeker or live for hole-in-the-wall eateries, you will find something that will comfort you. So, don’t be afraid to explore the food scene in the UK. Go ahead and start your own culinary journey.
