Renowned Michelin-starred restaurateur David Moore, owner of London’s Pied à Terre, has shared his favorite cheap eats in the city for a meal under £40 for two. Despite being surrounded by fine dining establishments and Michelin stars in Fitzrovia, Moore opts for more casual and affordable options on his days off.
One of his top picks is Tongue and Brisket on Goodge Street, where he enjoys a large salt beef on rye with pickles and mustard for £10. He also recommends Shoop on Tottenham Street for delicious soups, falafel, shakshuka, and chicken schnitzel, all cooked fresh on the premises.
For a splurge within the budget, Moore suggests Palms of Goa on Charlotte Street, where he indulges in king prawn masala or lamb biryani with naans and tap water to stay on budget.
When dining at home, Moore’s go-to cheap eat is a simple omelette made with three eggs, cheese, herbs, and ham. He shares his easy recipe for a tasty omelette that can be customized with whatever ingredients are on hand.
