From pho to perfect pizza, you’ll be spoilt for choice!
Seoul Bird
You can now enjoy a true homage to Korean soul food right here in Shepherd’s Bush as Seoul Bird has landed in Westfield London. Enjoy finger-licking Korean fried chicken thighs, wings or tenders served with mouthwatering Asian slaw, or as a delicious Seoul Burger. And it doesn’t stop there! You can also feast on bibimbap bowls, truffle tater tots and kimchi mac & cheese.
Master Bao
Going plant based is the future of food and Master Bao is jumping ahead to create an exclusive dedicated vegan menu to showcase that bao buns can also come in planet-proof vegan form. Expect a mouthwatering variety of flavours in soft, chewy buns to keep you satisfied.
Pizza Pilgrims
Renowned for their authentic pizza and delicious burrata balls on top, Pizza Pilgrims at Westfield London (Shepherd’s Bush) offers enough pepperoni-covered goodness for everyone to enjoy.
Comptoir Libanais
Comptoir Libanais provides the taste of real Lebanese home cooking. The bright and beautiful mix of colours and patterns promise to bring your meal to life, so that guests are transported on a journey to a souk somewhere in Beirut, Marrakesh, Istanbul or Cairo. Immersed in the friendly, fun and humorous décor, the smells, flavours and colours create an inviting atmosphere and a true Middle Eastern experience.
Pho
Pho, a healthy Vietnamese restaurant, specialises in delicious and nutritious rice noodle soup. They make all their broths from scratch, slowly simmering them for more than 12 hours. Other tasty items on the menu include fresh summer rolls, spicy salads, fragrant curries and wok-fried noodles. Most of their menu is gluten free and at least 25% is suitable for vegans.
Catch Me
At Catch Me, celebrated chefs Pascal Aussignac and Julien Carlon steer diners through the diversity of the best seafood that’s available from the British shores. Adding a twist of the Provence, Catch Me brings a Mediterranean offering to Westfield’s Balcony Court, and is committed to craft menus based on seasonal ingredients and daily caught produce. Try the signature dish King Scallops Crudo and Crab & Casarecce Pasta for a very Instagrammable lunch.
But don’t fret if you’re not a west Londoner because the team behind Westfield Stratford City have been equally as generous with their food offerings. Here’s what you’ll be able to snack on next time you’re at the centre:
Rosa’s Thai Cafe
This gorgeous Thai restaurent is a taste of modern Thailand with a serving of London charm. Rosa’s Thai Cafe combines the very best Thai spices and flavours with fresh locally-sourced produce to provide you with delicious curries, sticky coconut rice, and Pad Thai to die for.
Passyunk Avenue
At its second location in the UK, Passyunk shares the cuisine of Philadelphia headlined by the legendary Philly Cheesesteak and other regional American specialties at Westfield Stratford City. Gorge on tender Ribeye steak, jumbo buffalo wings and loaded nachos.
The Indians Next Door
Drop in on The Indians Next Door for tasty street food dishes and exceptional samosas. Their dishes are made from family recipes that have travelled all the way in space and time from the Punjab in the 1920s to Southbank Centre via Kenya. Choose Indian Toasties and Bhel Puri or go for the equally satisfying vegan version. Both dishes are free of wheat. Feeling peckish? You can also add an onion bhaji on the side, along with some palate-livening chutneys.
