12 great budget restaurants in London
Discover great places to have a grown-up meal on reasonable budget, without resorting to chip shops and student hangouts
There is no doubt that you can eat as well, or better, in London than anywhere else in the world when money is no object. But when you're on a budget, you may feel relegated to fish and chip shops, pizza parlours, noodle bars and fry ups. The truth is you can eat very well for very little in London when you know where to look. These 12 restaurants offer good food at a reasonable price. Unless otherwise stated, prices are for dinner for two including house wine and service.
Le Petit Max
14 Chatfield Road, Battersea Reach, London SW11. Tel: 020 7223 0999
Max Renzland, last seen at the Marco Pierre White-owned Chez Max in Knightsbridge, has re-emerged in a riverside development in Battersea with his trademark French bourgeois cooking in sympathetic bistro surrounds. A dish of pork and duck rillettes is a shreddy, creamy delight, coq au vin is full-on authentic, and the boudin noir (black pudding) is gooey and gorgeous. Amazingly, the great-value menu du jour - 3 courses for £16.50 -- is available not just at lunch and early evening, but the whole night as well. Around £55 for two people.
Ma Cuisine
6 Whitton Road, Twickenham, Middlesex. Tel: 020 8607 9849
Chef John McClement has created a little bit of France in southwest London. Although a relative newcomer, Ma Cuisine has wasted no time gathering accolades, including a Bib Gourmand (for 'good food at moderate prices') in the Michelin Guide, and runner-up in the Evening Standard's London Tonight Award for good value. Expect classics including French onion soup, cassoulet and crepes suzettes at prices that make you nostalgic for the good old days. Around £50 for two.
