LONDON — Back in August, the Waitrose Good Food Guide 2017 published its ranking of the UK's 50 best restaurants.
While the top three places to check out in the UK this year are in Cumbria, Cornwall, and Nottinghamshire, London is still the foodie capital of the country. Fifteen restaurants in the capital make it onto the list.
The best restaurant in the UK, according to the Good Food Guide is L’Enclume, located in a small Cumbrian village, but four London venues make it into the top 10. Many of them also have the most expensive tasting menus in the city.
From regular award winner Le Gavroche in Mayfair, to the boundary-pushing menu at Restaurant Story in Bermondsey, here are the top 13, with their overall rankings in brackets.
13. Sketch (36th) — Two Michelin-starred restaurant Sketch in Mayfair is famous for its high-quality dishes, but stands out for its presentation. Dishes like this lavender ice cream are all served on quirky plates.

12. Restaurant Story (32nd) — This one Michelin-starred restaurant in Bermondsey serves just one menu in the evening, the "Full Story." The courses are called "chapters," and this lobster tail with edible flowers makes up "Chapter II."
11. Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (29th) — Chef Blumenthal is famous for his experimental dishes. This starter at his restaurant in Knightsbridge, a chicken liver pate disguised as a satsuma and named "Meat Fruit," is one of his best-known.
