There's a charming little cafe in the UK that has recently received recognition as one of the most legendary restaurants in the world. Now, we all know that the UK has a plethora of incredible dining options, but you might be surprised to learn that only one eatery from this country made it onto the list of the top 100. And get this - it's not even a fancy restaurant, it's actually a cozy little cafe.
E Pellicci, located on Bethnal Green Road in London, secured the number 83 spot on the prestigious list. This charming art deco cafe was founded in 1900 by Priamo Pellicci as a simple workers' cafe, but it has since become a beloved spot for both locals and tourists alike. The menu features a delightful mix of Italian dishes and classic English favorites such as fry-ups, ham, egg and chips, and steak pie. And let's not forget their mouth-watering pasta dishes like lasagne.
Some might question how this little cafe beat out renowned Michelin Star restaurants to earn a spot on the list. But E Pellicci has gained a cult following in the capital, with even celebrities like David Schwimmer, Frank Lampard, and Michael Gambon stopping by for a bite to eat. And it's not just the famous faces that rave about this place - E Pellicci has thousands of glowing reviews online. Google reviewers have given it a perfect score of 10/10 and have called it "incredible."
One reviewer, Donté F, couldn't contain their excitement and wrote, "I couldn't have enjoyed this restaurant any more than I did. The English breakfast was phenomenal, so fresh and delicious. But it's not just about the food - the staff and management are so friendly and welcoming. It's no wonder people keep coming back day after day, year after year. I know I'll be visiting every time I'm in London." Similarly, Tina BQ Tran shared, "If you want a solid breakfast, this is the place to have it. We ordered three different items for four people and it turned out to be more than enough. The service was excellent - they even gave us an extra plate to share our food. And everything was delicious, but the hash browns were our favorite."
It's clear that E Pellicci has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many, including celebrities and regular customers alike. And it's not just a breakfast spot - they also serve up delicious lunch and dinner options. But if you're wondering who took the number one spot on the list, it's Figlmüller, a Viennese restaurant in Austria famous for their Schnitzel. And rounding out the top 10 are iconic spots like L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele in Naples, and Hofbräuhaus München in Munich.
In other news, the UK failed to make it into the top 50 best cities in the world for food. Yes, even London, which is often praised as one of the best cities in the world, only made it to number 90 on the list. Surprising, right? It seems that Italy dominated the rankings, with Naples taking the top spot and cities like Milan, Bologna, and Florence following closely behind. But let's not forget about Rome and Turin, which also secured spots in the top 10.
