GBK Brunswick

Found up towards the Brunswick Centre is GBK, home of the original gourmet burger since 2001. This place only serves 100% British and grass-fed beef, promising 6oz patties made from a hand-selected lineup of chuck, brisket, flank and 30-day dry-aged steak cuts. Choose between stacked toppings like the spicy Rocket Man or blue cheese and onion jam; otherwise, there's chicken and veggie options if beef isn't your thing.

Elaine's Bar, Restaurant and Deli

Elaine's Bar, Restaurant and Deli is just a stone's throw from Holborn tube station, offering you a slice of New York City in the heart of London. Expect to be chowing down on loaded hotdogs or burgers, alongside hearty salads, chicken schnitzel and more.

The marble-topped bar whips up some pretty impressive cocktails as well. As for the venue, you'll discover rustic wooden furnishings, chequered floors and cosy corners to watch the world go by in.

Noble Rot

Noble Rot is a fancy restaurant and wine bar in the heart of Holborn with an old-school charm, boasting slick interiors like dark wood, handwritten blackboards, and flickering candles that'll make you feel right at home.

Don't forget to save some room for a glass (or two) of classic vino; it's sourced from all over the world and tastes impeccable.
