INTERNATIONAL CUISINE

A great way to learn about food from around the
word - without leaving your country - is to discover
different ethnic restaurants.
London, like many big cities and towns, is full of
restaurants with all kinds of cuisine: from Albanian to
Vietnamese.
To taste some of the hottest fajitas in town, you can
go to Covent Garden where there are many great
Mexican restaurants. Fancy an Indian meal? Head for
Brick Lane in East London. There are over 60 Indian
and Bangladeshi restaurants there so you are sure to
find a delicious and spicy meal.

To try some stir-fried noodles and other Chinese
dishes, Chinatown near Leicester Square is the place
to go.Or you could visit Borough Market close to
London Bridge to buy a healthy snack and then have
a picnic by the river or in one of London's many
parks.
And, finally, to experience some traditional English
food, have some delicious pub grub. Pubs are a
great place to eat because you can find good food,
like roast beef and crunchy roast potatoes, at
reasonable prices.
