Background Illustration for Restaurants

Home of the historic White City, the center of town is chock-full of cafés and restaurants that run the gamut from simple storefront eateries to chic dining rooms run by celebrity chefs. When you just want a quick bite, the boulevards are lined with food kiosks.

Chocolate lovers should run, not walk, to this eatery for a mouthwatering, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory experience. Beneath pipes of imaginary chocolate crisscrossing the ceiling, children of all ages can order the likes of chocolate pizza—topped with chocolate chips, of course—or chocolate fondue for dipping toasted marshmallows and fruit like melon, dates, and bananas. There's even chocolate soup! For a souvenir, take home some hand-stenciled pralines in artfully designed tins. And yes, there are non-chocolate options, including pastas and salads. Service is famously iffy but who cares when you can gorge yourself on chocolate?
