Feasting, fire and flavour: it's got to be Taste of London! The capital's most delicious festival is returning to Regent's Park from June 18-22, with seemingly endless opportunities to try incredible food by London's hottest restaurants, learn secrets from top chefs and experience some seriously good live entertainment.
First up, let's talk restaurants. Even the most avid foodie can't hit up every one of the capital's buzzy eateries – but at Taste of London, you can. Sample dishes from the likes of Soho seafood haunt Manzi's, The Shard's Oblix, Italian food destination Eataly, and chicken and caviar hotspot Bébé Bob. Plus, you can skip the year-long waitlist at Guy Ritchie's gastropub Lore of the Land, try elegant Japanese and Korean fare at Akira Back, and tuck into India's vibrant ‘70s scene with dishes from Empire Empire, the sister restaurant of Gunpowder. These are just some of 30-plus restaurants popping up at Taste this June, plating out more than 120 different dishes.
If you've been to Taste before, you'll fondly recall its unbeatable summer vibes, with interactive masterclasses, live DJs and flowing cocktails across nine different bars (there is even one where you can use AI to get cocktails tailor-made to your taste!). Head to the Taste Fire Pit for flame-fuelled demonstrations, drop into the Taste Cook School for cooking demonstrations with star chefs, or enjoy the high life in the VIP Lounge.
