Best Dinner Places to Eat in Norwood Green

"Travel 43 floors up and see a unique perspective of landmarks like The Shard, St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge and more. With massive floor-to-ceiling glass windows, an open-air terrace, and beautifully landscaped scenery, you’ll have an abundance of options for IG pics. It also houses a swanky restaurant and bar, so you can relax and soak in the views with a drink in hand."

"If you guys have been following this blog for a while you may have realised that I am borderline obsessed with Sky Garden. I think it’s not only one of the best views and best rooftop bars in London, but it’s also very Instagrammable. The combination of stunning views over the rooftops of London, with modern architecture and green plants is a winner for me."

"Located just below Duck & Waffle on the 38th and 39th floors of London’s Herron Tower is the equally impressive restaurant with a view – SUSHISAMBA. SUSHISAMBA uniquely blends Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine and culture, with a menu featuring everything from tempura and sushi to churrasco and seviches. As well as the large main dining room with its floor-to-ceiling windows and unusual bamboo roof, SUSHISAMBA also features the highest outdoor dining terraces in Europe, offering unparalleled 360-degree views across the capital."

"They say: ‘Celebrating the culture and cuisine of Japan, Brazil and Peru.’. The sweet stuff: A chocolate banana cake (which contains rum and serves four), as well as a hard cake, consisting of yuzu ganache, lychee and cherry mousse."

"The Duck and Waffle routinely makes it close to the top of ‘best London restaurant with a view’ lists, and for good reason. For one thing, it’s one of the only 24/hour London restaurants, meaning you can watch the sun rise from your table in Heron Tower if the mood takes you, chowing down on the famous duck and waffle that gave the restaurant its name, or any of the huge variety of both large and small plates that make up the only all day menu in London that is genuinely served all day (and night)."

"Head to the 40th floor of 110 Bishopsgate for 24 hour views of London. Open seven days a week, this all-day dining spot takes British cuisine and gives it a playful twist, with waffles taking focus. Book one of the squidgy leather window booths for the best views, and tuck into waffles topped with caramelised banana, hazelnut chocolate spread, vanilla ice cream and peanut crunch, or, go for the signature savoury one with crispy duck let confit, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup."

"Prior to London being plunged into lockdown, Duck & Waffle was serving its popular brunch menu seven days a week. The menu’s back, but is currently only available between 7am and 5pm on Saturday and Sundays. Which gives you plenty of time to sample some of the destination restaurant’s signature dishes."

"Chef Ben Tish has brought the Moorish-inspired cuisine of Sicily to Fitzrovia, to great acclamation. The long, narrow interior of Norma has the feeling of an extremely luxurious North African train carriage, with Moroccan tiles on the walls, cosy booths and decidedly flattering lighting. The menu opens with a generous selection of small plates – snacks, antipasti and a raw bar – followed by pasta which can be ordered in small and large sizes, and proper large plates to finish."

"Few cuisines are as passionately delivered as Italian, and Ben Tish’s interpretation of Sicilian cooking has certainly warmed the hearts of many Londoners since it opened last year. Inside the Fitzrovia haven, golden hues radiate from the hanging lamps to the velvet furnishings, with diners able to order aperitivo plates to share between them, plentiful pasta and indulgent dishes of seafood stew and grilled salt marsh lamb. 8 Charlotte Street, W1T 2LS, normalondon.com"

"Norma embodies the celebrated old-school hospitality and grand café culture found in Italy. Head chef Ben Tish (ex Salt Yard), showcases the fresh and vibrant flavours found on the island of Sicily, imbued with Arabic influences and North African spices. For an al fresco lunch date the patio dining provides the perfect place to devour the delectable pasta dishes available, all centred around fresh, seasonal produce."

"What: If you’re someone who believes weekends exist for boozy brunches, then you’re sure to have heard of Gaucho’s Electro Brunch Feast. Hedonistic to the extreme, this banquet – there really is no other way to describe it – includes tables groaning with the weight of unlimited food and drink to the tune of whatever smooth beats the DJ feels like spinning. This all you can eat offering includes all manner of brunch dishes from eggs Benedict to bacon sarnies, steak and eggs, and burrata on sourdough, all served up with an epic line-up of free-flowing cocktails."

"Chandeliers, cowhide, black leather and moody lighting – welcome to Gaucho’s spin on an upmarket steakhouse with big-money aspirations. Myriad cuts of pampas-reared beef dominate the show, although the menu spans everything from ceviche to dulce de leche cheesecake. Serious Argentinian wines too."

"The Gaucho group is back with a new CEO and a new concept (including a beef bar), starting with a reinvention of its Charlotte Street site."

"Angela Hartnett brought Cafe Murano – the charming casual offshoot to her Michelin-starred Italian restaurant – to Bermondsey late last year, and now she’s bringing breakfast with her too. On the weekend, tuck into lighter bites of roasted, thyme-laced mushrooms with focaccia, or cavolo nero and spring onion foccacia. Meaty treats include a chicken Milanese bun stuffed with slow-roasted tomatoes and spicy mayonnaise, and those looking to start with something sweet can enjoy chocolate croissants or a melon and strawberry fruit salad."

"In a nutshell: A third location for Cafe Murano Where is it?. 184 Bermondsey Street, London SE1 3TQ Why should you care?. Bermondsey is the next location for Angela Hartnett's Murano spinoff, with classic Italian dishes and cocktails on the menu."

"Housed in the old Hampstead Central Library on Finchley Road, Camden Arts Centre began life as a local initiative, providing art classes for the community. Now, it is a powerhouse of contemporary art showing ambitious exhibitions by well-known British and international artists such as Kara Walker, Rose English, Ben Rivers and Jennifer Tee. The bookshop stocks a range of artist’s editions, and the garden is the perfect spot for a sunny afternoon."

"In 1965 a former library was converted into a gallery to promote contemporary art. The exhibitions feature emerging artists, international artists debuting in London, significant historic figures who have inspired contemporary practice, and group shows relevant to current debate.

"The University College London Art Museum houses a collection that goes back to 1847. The collection began when artist John Flaxman offered his sculpture models and drawing to the university. Now, there are more than 10,000 objects in the collection, to include etchings by Rembrandt."

"One of London's most beloved art collections, the Courtauld is to your right as you pass through the archway into the grounds of the…"

"The newest wild-swimming spot in London is located in the most significant green space of Lewisham in South East London. Actually, it’s located in an old Georgian lake lost in 1800 when it was first created by John Cator of Beckenham Place Mansion. Now the lagoon is back to its former glory."

"Plant-based pub fans rejoice – when Homerton’s Spread Eagle reopened in 2018, it did so as London’s first totally vegan pub. All its beer is vegan (no, beer is not always vegan) and so are the cocktails, where egg whites are replaced with aquafaba – chickpea water, to you and I. In the kitchen, Club Mexicana cooks up a dairy-free storm: Meriel Armitage’s highly praised plant-based concept serves tacos filled with jackfruit carnitas and some pretty convincing baja “to-fish”, as well as a superlatively crunchy Mexican fried seitan “chick’n” burger, spiced up with mustard mayo and jalapenos."

"A post shared by The Spread Eagle London (@thespreadeaglelondon) on Feb 1, 2018 at 1:42am PST. Find London’s first completely vegan pub, The Spread Eagle, in Homerton in east London. Serving up British food with a minimal-waste ethos, options include pie, mash and liquor, ploughmans and burgers, plus a Sunday roast."

"This London tavern made history last year when it became the first pub to go 100% vegan in London. That means food, drinks, interiors and all—everything is plant-based, plus, everyone is welcome, including vegans and non-vegans. Where possible, all of the food and drink is sustainably sourced and made from plants."

"What do you get when you put a Korean, a Filipino and an Aussie chef together?" enquires one reader. The answer is 100 Hoxton, a low-lit, concrete-hued hangout that gives fusion food a good name. "You'll want to order every small plate", insists one fan – perhaps braised octopus with garam masala or crunchy, salty soft-shell crab with peanut brittle and a dousing of fresh lime from the dinner menu."

"From soft shell crab doused in honey and garlic sauce through to Asian takes on ceviche and hand-dived scallops, Rapsa is bringing a delicious taste of the Philippines to Hoxton High Street. Staking their claim as one of London's best places for seafood, it's well worth a visit."
