Thank you all for the suggestions. The trip always becomes real for me when I start planning the meals.

Thanks for the quick reply. We are renting a place in the Greenwich Peninsula.

We would like to hit both traditional British and ethnic. We try to avoid chains and and "touristy" destinations and look for good local spots. The places you've already mentioned sound like what we are looking for. Any other advice would be appreciated.

We will be traveling to London in June for the first time. We have 4 adults and 4 kids (8-16) who are willing to try most anything. I would appreciate any must try places or prior threads you can point me to for suggestions. We will probably have one high-end meal while we are there, but are mostly looking for good food at moderate prices. We are staying in Central London, Zone 2 but will obviously be out and about sightseeing.

We will be traveling to Paris in June for the first time. We have 4 adults and 5 kids (8-21) who are willing to try most anything.
