Did you know that Shepherd's Bush is a famous go-to-destination for stuffing yourself with food? If you didn't, here's a list of excellent food spots that line the streets of Shepherd's Bush.
Might not be the best of places to have dinner – but if you want some relaxed time without the bustle – this is where you should come to. There's a vast array of choices and cuisines – but if you'd rather settle for a burger or a pizza, you have that option too.
If you are out and about looking for a Chinese restaurant in Shepherd's Bush where you could try something different – go to Shikumen in Dorsett Shepherds Bush London. The place has a bit of ritzy flair to it, and the dishes are a bit pricy, but it's totally worth it. The roast duck and the dim sums are quite good, and in the evenings the place brims with Chinese people and tourists.
For a taste of Indian food, head down to Kricket White City in the old Television Centre. The spot is most famous for their Keralan fried chicken and offbeat cocktails. Met some old friends after a long time? On the lookout for a spot for some catching up that could go on for hours? Kricket White City is the place for you.
With herbs dangling on the windows and somewhat odd décor – Bocconi is the perfect spot for some authentic Italian food. Granted, the music is not what you are used to, and the upholstery is slightly odd, but every square inch of the place is downright Italian. The menus tend to change in favour of the season, but it is widely known that their mushroom risotto is everyone's go-to option.
A little afield from Shepherd's Bush Market Station is the cosy little café, Hummingbird Deli. It's a place everyone comes to for some breakfast or a snack. On a weekend when you are feeling a bit lazy to make breakfast, drop in here for a nice cup of coffee and some smashed avocados or eggs.
The best joint for some Thai food is Esarn Kheaw. The food is delicious and affordable. But you should go easy if you haven't tried spicy food before. The food is exactly like what you would find in Thailand.
If you've been shopping for as long as you can remember and now you are in need of a glass of wine, you are in luck. Albertine is a small wine bar just across the road from Westfield where you will be served wine with lots and lots of cheese. There's a dining room upstairs as well, but if you just want some wine to recover from the burnout, you should stick to the downstairs wine bar.
It's not the most conventional of choices for some chippy, but you can be assured that the fish and chips here are of fabulous quality. For a nice meal of cod, peas and chips, you can pop in here, or else, on your way, you can grab a takeaway.
Customer reviews attest to the quality of the place – this is where you can get the best falafel in the whole of London. The prices are reasonable – best suited for after you've taken a walk in the bustling streets of Shepherd's Bush.
After spending your whole Friday night with your chums drinking until you are blue in the face – who has the energy to cook breakfast. If this is you, why not go round to Proud Mary's for some fluffy blueberry pancakes or some Aussie style brunch. There's a nice playlist to lift your mood too.
