Bloomsbury & Holborn Restaurants

Giotto

Choose wisely and a meal at Giotto can be excellent value but prices do vary greatly for both food and wine so if you're on a budget be sure to look before you order. The cooking is classical Italian with little in the way of surprises but pasta with rich tomato or cream sauces can be relied upon, as can ample portion sizes.

Hakuba

London's West End has its fare share of Japanese dining establishments, and Hakuba is one of the more stylish and sophisticated restaurants located on Great Russell Street.

Hummus Bros - Holborn

It's always refreshing to find something completely different, even if slightly repetitive. The fact is you can have almost anything at Hummus Bros - provided you have it with hummus. That, of course, is an exaggeration, but the blend of chickpeas puréed with sesame paste and lemon juice can become compulsive.
