Introduction
Have you fallen prey to the social media food porn craze? I know I have! All those mouthwatering TikToks and Instagram posts showing indulgent dishes trigger my inner foodie every time I scroll through my FYP, and it leaves me craving those irresistible dishes, but most of all, it reminds me of my own gastronomic adventure around London that I cannot wait to share with you.
Feast your eyes (and your taste buds!) here at Emmanuelle Jolie in London, and allow me to introduce you to some of the most visually stunning and food porn-worthy joints in the city.
The Perfect Foreplay to Your Snacking Adventure
Give your taste buds a bit of a tease here at Emmanuelle Jolie in London with some of the city’s most iconic snack houses. These locally loved joints offer light snacks that are perfect to kickstart your culinary exploration.
Dishroom
Dishroom is the most famous Indian restaurant in London, offering a selection of South Asian dishes. Personally, this is where I go to get my comfort food, the Black Daal. This delicious black lentil soup is creamy and hearty, making it perfect for days when you just need warm and cozy food to heal your soul. Pair it with a warm naan, and you’ll be kissing the day’s stress away in no time!
Morley’s
If you ask any South Londoner what the best chicken joint is, they will definitely point you to Morley’s. This restaurant is a cult favorite for a reason. They serve halal chicken that is every bit as juicy and crispy as you might imagine. Honestly, I can’t even recommend which ones are the best on the menu. You simply have to try them all!
Get Your Fill of the Main Course
If you are out on a date or simply looking for heavier meals, I have a few restaurant suggestions that will give you food porn-worthy dishes here at Emmanuelle in London.
Swiss Butter
Swiss Butter is a viral restaurant along Holborn, famous for its melt-in-your-mouth steak and chips. I highly recommend this if you want to go heavy on your meal without burning holes in your pocket.
Entrecôte
Obviously, I love steaks, so I’m going to recommend another steakhouse, which is the world-famous Entrecôte. They only serve steaks and chips, but for me (and everyone else in London), that’s enough to fall in love with this place. For just £29, you’ll get a walnut salad, baguette, and two servings of steak, which is a steal considering how delicious it is.
Reach a Satisfying Climax
No food trip ends without dessert, so let me show you some of my favorite dessert joints as you reach the climax of your trip here at Emmanuelle in London.
Italian Bear Chocolate
If you are a chocolate lover, you will absolutely adore Italian Bear Chocolate. This place is well known for its messy hot cocoa drink layered with three different types of chocolate, making it thick and rich. Another must-try is the chocolate strawberries and triple-layer chocolate cake. I highly recommend this place if you want a piece of chocolate heaven on earth!
Heddon Street Kitchen
Do you know Gordon Ramsay? I’m sure you do! If you’re curious about what his food tastes like (especially desserts), the Heddon Street Kitchen is the best place to go. I highly suggest getting the chocolate lava cake, that thing melts in your mouth, and it’s such a rich and decadent dessert that it deserves its special place on your food porn portfolio.
Conclusion
London’s restaurant scene is bursting with incredible places to eat, and these six spots are where you’ll find the perfect balance of flavor and presentation. Join me again next time, or contact me for collaborations!
