伦敦的餐馆
遗憾的是，伦敦的餐馆并不以美味的食品扬名。餐馆常常仅供应香肠和炸土豆条、炸鱼片和炸土豆条——事实上，任何东西都会配有炸土豆条。不过，英国也有一些令人惊喜的美食，尤其有很多别具风味的蛋糕和甜点。英国人当然乐于享用自己的食品，伦敦有众多不同民族风味的餐馆。
大多数英国家庭仅在像生日或结婚周年纪念日等特殊的日子里才去餐馆用餐。最受餐馆青睐的顾客是商人，他们可在免受电话干扰的轻松气氛中谈生意。因为是公司买单，他们尽可以点自己喜欢吃的东西。当男女青年想要深入地了解对方，他们通常一起去餐馆用餐。毕竟在一个有着轻柔的音乐、美酒和佳肴的静谧气氛中，人们更容易打开心扉。
对到伦敦观光的人来说，在外用餐是充满乐趣的。你可以到那些保留着一百多年前维多利亚时期的旧式菜单和装饰风格的餐馆用餐，或者可沿着切尔西区的国王大道漫步，那里聚集了许多小餐馆。
如果你要享受特别的伦敦风情，可在下午的四点半左右到皮卡迪利大街的里兹饭店享用下午茶。太奢侈吗？那就尝尝英国人最喜爱的炸鱼片和炸土豆条吧！你可以带走，想在哪儿吃就在哪儿吃——公园里，巴士上，或者沿街闲逛的时候。伦敦人就是这么吃的！
