The restaurants recommended here have the best reviews across online travel websites, and some of them also have Michelin stars. Therefore, let’s hop into the world of delicacies and see the best places to eat here in the United Kingdom.

Nok’s Kitchen

Starting with Thai influences, Nok’s Kitchen is located in Edinburgh, and it specialises in Thai and other Asian meals. It was opened in 2016, and you can find anything there from spring rolls, grilled king scallops and squid’s tempura. You can also order their food at home, as you’ll find the takeaway menu on their website. The team provides the best services, so you’ll be able to check information regarding the allergens used in their foods. You also have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The restaurant has a rating of 4.5 on TripAdvisor, and the program is from 12 PM to 2 PM and from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM every day. It’s easy to make a reservation through their website or by calling the phone number displayed. The customers value the great service the most, saying the food is “served with a smile”.

The Ledbury

Next, a restaurant in the heart of London, the Ledbury, is considered a place of fine dining, combining both British and French cuisine. It’s one of the most elegant places to eat, given that it held two Michelin stars for ten years. It was established in 2005 by head chef Brett Graham, and his restaurant is ranked among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants in the world. Here, you can find exotic appetisers, unique main course seafood recipes, and the signature dessert of brown sugar tart is a must-try. It’s open from noon to 2 PM and again from 6:30 PM to 9:45 PM. The tasting menu is £185, and the matching wines are up to £120. If you find yourself in another British town and want to get to London by train to taste the culinary delight at the Ledbury, know that there are affordable and fast courses, so you’ll be in London in no more than five hours.

Bailey’s Fish and Chips

Bailey’s Fish and Chips will take you to the traditional side of the UK. The signature dish of fish and chips is mandatory to try. This restaurant is also in London and is open from noon to 10:30 PM. We recommend trying the fish and chips with tartare sauce, haddock and calamari. The menu includes several types of fish, from steamed cod, salmon, dill fish cake, and skate to burgers and pies (beef and onion, steak and kidney and chicken with mushroom). If you want to get there, there is a train to London from almost any town, so if you want to save money on the trip travelling by train might be a solution. It’s got a good 4.5 rating on TripAdvisor, and the price range is low, so it’s an affordable place to go and eat. It’s vegetarian friendly, so you can go even if you don’t want to try the fish meals. Clients here value the atmosphere, service, and food.

Tattu

You can find the Tattu restaurant in Manchester, where Thai, Chinese and Japanese cuisines blend in the most romantic and cosy design. Inside the location, you’ll be welcomed by the lighted, pink tree in the middle of the restaurant, and the warm lights will make you feel at home. Here, the menu consists of dim sum, small and large plates of Chinese and Japanese food, rice, noodles and vegetables, as well as desserts. The drinks found here are also inspired by the traditional Asian culture, from alcoholic to non-alcoholic options. There are also sharing menus for more people. If you have vegan or vegetarian preferences, the menus offer such options (sweet tofu balls, Asian pear sticky toffee pudding or salt and pepper aubergine), and you can even choose the spiciness levels in your meals. At Tattu, you can give a loved one a voucher with £25, £50, £75, £100 or more to enjoy a culinary delight in this restaurant. You can send it through email or by post, and you can add a custom message for the person you’re sending the voucher to. The coupon is valid for 12 months; therefore, they can keep it for a special occasion and treat themselves.

Koolba

Lastly, Koolba is a restaurant that is inspired by Indian cuisine. Found in Glasgow, this location is designed in such a way that it resembles the traditional Indian culture, giving you the whole cultural experience. Along with Indian dishes, such as prawn poori, fish pakora and butter chicken, you can also have Persian (succulent skewers of marinated chicken, lamb chunks and minced lamb) and middle-eastern foods. The restaurant is open every day from 12 PM to 10 PM and has a 4.5 rating from customers, being ranked #45 of 2.395 places to eat in Glasgow. The visitors adore the curry, which you should try too, and the staff is friendly. Some other traditional Indian foods you’ll find here are:

- Bhuna, a curry and meat made with the best sauce from ginger, garlic and fresh tomatoes.

- Saag, a dish made from plenty of vegetables, from which the spinach is the start of the meal.
