Dining and shopping in London, 2014

The 'Eating London' thread is getting old, so I thought it's a good time to start a new thread for London. To keep this thread as current as possible, I'm only mentioning the restaurants and shops I've visited in the last 2 months.

Chef Brian Lavery posted a comprehensive list mentioning many of London's best restaurants for various types of food on his blog: http://ethicalgourmet.blogspot.ca/201...

I'd add Black Trumpet as my favourite spot for fine dining. I also had a decent, moderately priced dinner at Blu Duby before a Sunday night concert at Budweiser Gardens in November. Relatively few independently-owned downtown London restaurants apart from David's Bistro and Blu Duby are open Sunday nights.

Remark Fresh Market and the Covent Garden Market are my favourite places to buy groceries.

Hot Oven's burek is my favourite snack at the Covent Garden Market.

I still haven't visited the Western Fair Farmers' Market, which I plan to visit at some point this year.
