Global gastronomy without leaving London

We want to see if it's possible to eat around the globe without leaving the comfort of the capital. So everyone knows the best places once we 'reach' India, China and Mexico but what about Egypt, Iceland, Mongolia, new Zealand and all the others? Let's see if we can create a list of all 200 or so (?) culinary options...and then we can go out and sample them all!

Is there actually a decent Hungarian place in London? I must find one! I need a goulash fix!

The Gay Hussar at the top of Greek Street is a very famous old haunt of politicians and literati and the only Hungarian grazing ground I can think of off the top of my head. Good goulash. Never tried anything else.

Tikichris told me about this place… I can’t believe it’s the only Hungarian place in town…

Louis Patisserie in Hampstead is technically Hungarian, although they have almost nothing in the way of proper meals, usually just some simple sandwiches. They have amazing sweets, cakes, and all manner of confectionary, though.

I can recommend the Louis Patisserie - it’s a real experience, and safe and reliable enough to host even the most irascible of Maiden Great Aunts.

Quick Tip: Try to avoid the week-ends if you can - the Patisserie gets very busy indeed.

this is the exact reason why Qype is so brilliant.

I thought it was because I can now compliment you for being sexy. Voila.

Now wait just a doggone minute. When did this become private chat? And I want some sexiness too. (Arms crossed like a child, nose poised in the air).

I didn’t start it… have some sexiness ;-)

I didn’t realise that the point of these little compliments was to leach at each other.

But now I know…
