The Good Food Guide has announced the best restaurants in London as part of their 2023 awards.
Although there can only be one overall winner, the guide picks a select few to be part of the acclaimed list.
This year 2023 local restaurant winner for London was Les 2 Garçons in Crouch End which was described as an "authentic bistro".
The Good Food Guide awards were created 13 years ago to "celebrate the places that are the beating heart of communities around Britain".
The website adds: "This year, we received more than 37,000 nominations from diners advocating their beloved local haunts. It turned out to be the strongest field of contenders we’ve ever seen.
"So, alongside our national and regional winners, we are recognising an extended list of venues offering brilliant, creative, personal hospitality in all corners of Britain."
