Food Scene
A great place for some Japanese (as the name suggests) beer and buns! It's hidden above a sushi restaurant, making it a perfect little hidden gem. They also have foosball, pinball and hilarious Japanese game show playing on TV. If you go, you will need to also try their Sake Bomb, which is a fun x2 version of Jager Bomb!

One of the, in our opinion, best dumpling spots in Chinatown. They have a wide range of dumplings, one of them the Xiao Long Bao and other traditional Chinese dishes. You can see the dumplings being made on the spot at the window in front of the shop. It is very budget friendly!

If you're into good Mexican food and great tequila cocktails (they make an especially mean Expresso Martini) this is one of the best places in London! All their dishes are massive and delicious; we recommend particularly their fajitas. It is always a bustling place so booking in advance is recommended.

A quiet little pub hidden away in Islington. It's not the cheapest place but they have the best Sunday Roast in London. They have a variety of options (and the menu is always changing) between pork, chicken, beef and lamb. We promise you will leave the place very satisfied and full for the whole day!
