Where to eat in London
Living in London is great! I love this city, its diversity and its multiculturalism. When it comes to food, you can find almost any cuisine here. I really enjoy trying new restaurants, tasting unknown flavours, etc.
Here I will mention some of my favourite eateries and pubs in this vibrant city.

They also have some great deals, like the Infinity Sunday with unlimited pintxos and cava during 90 minutes (Sundays from 12:30 pm to 10 pm. Price: £39) or the weekdays lunchtime offer where you can eat as many pintxos as you can during 90 minutes (Monday to Friday from 12:30 pm to 3 pm. Price: £15). I have visited this restaurant many times and it never disappoints! My favourite branch is the one in Covent Garden.

Fresh lobster and American BBQ in this restaurant that you will find in 3 different London locations (Canary Wharf, Covent Garden and Chelsea). I absolutely loved the food, the vibe and the service at Big Easy. We went for the boozy brunch which included a dish to choose from the menu (with chips and salad) and 2 hour of your selected drink (Price: £29.50). We visited the Canary Wharf branch and had the half lobster (the sauce is delicious) with unlimited prosecco.
