Discover London Restaurants to Love — At Home
Nothing beats the joy of a familiar restaurant in full swing on a warm summer evening, or the thrill of a night out at that new, bustling spot. But we also know that the value of restaurants goes beyond the physical dining room. Restaurants are vital parts of our lives, our communities, our neighbourhoods. Now, they need our support. So whether that means enjoying your favourite sushi from the friendly confines of your couch, or splurging for a special occasion bottle of wine from the nearby pizzeria, this is a great time to discover restaurants to love — at home.
Remember What You Love About Restaurants
If you’re the way we are here at Resy, you’ve been spending the past weeks thinking every day about your favourite London restaurants. What do we miss most about restaurants? What are we most looking forward to returning to, as they begin to fully reopen for dining? These are a few of our favourite things.

So, how to recreate the restaurant experience at home? Many restaurants across the country are trying to stay open through delivery and takeaway services.
Updated weekly, these curated lists are designed to provide a little inspiration for your week of eating — whether that means new offerings from a favourite place that just came back online, a weekly special you haven’t heard about, or simply some ideas for takeaway night.

Don’t Forget the Wine, Either
We entrust our favourite London restaurants to know our tastes when it comes to wine, and it’s safe to say that we gravitate to those same establishments that strike gold time and again. The good news is that there has never been a better — or easier — time to buy a few bottles from your favourite restaurant alongside your takeaway or delivery order.
