WHAT A LOVELY DAY

angelicism posted:

I just moved to London from NYC and I'm going to be living in Angel; hopefully you guys can help me out with a couple things.

Specifics: good Korean food (willing to travel a bit from Angel for this); great burgers; places to get solid yakitori; good Brazilian, specifically properly done pão de queijo and picanha, I don't dare hope for açai; good Ethiopian; best place to get afternoon tea given that I'm a wide-eyed American that hasn't had "afternoon tea" and thinks it's a novel idea.

General: a site like nymag.com where I can get restaurant recommendations given a neighborhood, cuisine, and price range, with reasonably consistent reviews (yelp and its equivalents are terrible) for when I want to find someplace new.

Thanks for any help!

I don't know if its "good" Brazilian food, but there's a restaurant called Rodizio Rico in Angel that serves Brazilian BBQ all you can eat meat. That picanha might be there (they had like 30 different kinds of meat and I lost track after a while). We went there for a good meet once and it was so awesome I've travelled back into London 3 times just to eat there.

Where can me and the girlfriend go for a good steak in a nice place without me spending £150 for the pair of us in gaucho again?

Thanks guys, I'm no stranger to getting and cooking a nice steak but we're out in London for a day soon and wanted to go somewhere nice. I think we'll go Hawksmoor, the communal table thing at Hill & Szrok will weird her out.

Flatiron does decent steak, reasonably priced. It's all they do, really, with fries or salad.

Which is which? I want to try and skip the communal table deal, but their website doesnt really say anything other than "here is a picture of a meat cleaver and some chopped meat, thanks"

According to tripadvisor they do a thing where you can pop over, sign in and then go off and have some drinks elsewhere and they'll text you when your table is ready. I'll check out Denmark Street or that argentine place, thanks :)
