Jen Cafe in China Town does fantastic very cheap soup noodles and dim sum (which are made fresh by a woman standing in a corner of the restaurant).

Porte D’Indes do a great Sunday lunch buffet.

The Wolseley is the best organised most efficient restaurant I’ve ever been to.

I’d probably say Ask at Butler’s Wharf or The Sea Cow in East Dulwich.

I love Porters in Covent Garden. Good old traditional British pies, chips, fish, puddings etc all cooked perfectly. The way it should be. Plus the full bar! Yum.

So difficult to choose!! I’ve had a couple of great meals in The Boundary in Shoreditch, excellent charcuterie trolley :)

I also used to be a big fan of The Morgan Arms in Mile End but in haven’t been in a while.

Hey Lilac, I was at York & Albany on Saturday too! Maybe I saw you there. My favourite restaurant in London is St John Bread & Wine, at Spitalfields. Great to go with a crowd, as invariably pretty well everything on the menu will be ordered, all of it delicious. And no matter how full you are, I defy you to resist ordering madeleines for afters.

I also love Moro, at Exmouth Market. Wood-roasted bream, mmmmm….

I have to put forward Food For Thought on Neal Street, not so much a restaurant as a cosy hole in the ground but I love the big portions of veggie food, cheap prices and friendly staff.

If it’s a special occasion (or someone generous is footing the bill!) Blue Elephant’s buffet is excellent – the little leaf-wrapped spice parcels are worth the trip alone and the river running through the restaurant is amazing.

‘Buen ayre’, Argentine Grill, Broadway Market. Fabulous steak, parsley potatoes and a great wine list! yummy.

Big fan of ‘The Albion’ on Redchurch in Shoreditch. Sustainable budget dining where you can always get a fish pie. They also make all of their own bread and cakes and its delicous.

I had an amazing meal at The Landau last year, one of those meals where you can't quite finish the last few mouthfuls even though you really want to!

It’s hard to choose just one – there are so many great places and it depends on the type of food you’re after.

For pizza, I like Fire & Stone in Covent Garden (plus you can often get some good deals there if you book in advance.)

For Chinese food I always head to The Crispy Duck in Chinatown.

And for a very special occasion, Skylon is amazing. Lovely food, a view across the Thames and best of all, a champagne trolley!

Gilgamesh in Camden does amazing food, and I love the garish oriental decor.

But the fried squid is to die for.
