Oh, this is delicious. This is to die for. This might be the tastiest meal I've ever eaten. I will definitely be having dessert. Where else can I taste food like this? If you’re headed to the UK on a study abroad program, a vacay or even just to find yourself, we’ve got a list of the most mouth-watering, delectable and locally inviting food spots that will have you saying a simple, truthful yum. If you’re looking for something more uncommon than a Starbucks and more noteworthy than a Five Guys, we’ve got you set! Let’s travel across the pond for some grub, love.

LONDON

Baladin Camden

Located in the bustling heart of Camden Market, Baladin Camden is the perfect marriage of Italian food and Italian craft beer. Only a few seconds from hundreds of vintage clothing stands that might just have your wallet screaming, this Italian pub has location, food and vibes on its side.

Eatopia Korean Takeaway

A Theatre Academy London favorite, Eatopia in Bloomsbury not only has some of the most satisfyingly scrumptious rice and chicken bowls but also some of the absolute friendliest staff. With immaculate vibes, speedy service, and a lovely selection of meals — this restaurant deserves all the praises. The sweet chili chicken here is a must, and the sweet and sour chicken meals really hit the spot. So, make sure to stop by if you’re ever near Tottenham Court Road station…and remember they have a student discount!

Salt & Pepper

An upbeat coffeehouse right around the corner from Eatopia, Salt & Pepper is a genuinely lovable favorite of the locals. Serving traditional offerings for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, this adorable spot is a true representation of that studiously aesthetic, light academia London that we all envision. With chai lattes that are still missed from across the pond and some of the tastiest chicken pesto paninis, it's truly no wonder that Florida State, Elon, Muhlenberg and UCONN students alike flock to this quaint spot in Central London. And, as it boasts on their website, it really is a great little cafe.

OXFORD

The Oxford Brunch Bar

Specializing in farmhouse sandwiches and eggs Benedict, The Oxford Brunch Bar is a family run, folksy favorite of the lads and ladies of the University of Oxford. A cafe known for its healthy brunches, drinks and breakfast, this picturesque spot is the perfect place for an Instagram story, gossip sesh, people-watching moment and a satisfaction of savory cravings. This is a great spot to not only eat freshly, but also be surrounded by the sophisticated (or not so sophisticated) conversations of degree-seeking Brits. It’s definitely a must visit for anyone looking for a refreshing meal in this college town.

NORTH WALES

The Galleon Fish & Chips

As it says on the window display, this is probably the finest fish and chips you’ve ever tasted. A convenient spot to grab some classic fish and chips after a lovely tour of Conwy Castle, The Galleon Fish & Chips shop feels straight out of a narrative television show. Cute, quaint and nestled in a lovely seaside town, this is just the place to grab a quick meal on the go and take in the views.

EDINBURGH

The Theatre Royal Bar

It's all about the vibes. The Theatre Royal Bar in Edinburgh is a swanky, homely and Victorian-style pub that just so happens to be a traditional stop for pre- and post-theatre drinks and classic grub. With a jolly waitstaff, pleasant bartenders and only a measly few steps from The Edinburgh Playhouse, it’s the ultimate stop for theatre lovers.
