Shame I’m not in London.  These looks mouth wateringly good!

Rumour has it, one of our members has found a cut of beef in an Asian market that works for making cheesesteaks, and she stocked up on provolone when she found it in Lidl one day not too long ago.  That's the rumour, anyway.

Did anybody else love the Great Steak & Potato Co.?  I could really really go for a Great Steak (hold the onions) and some cheese fries.

Pappagone, the Italian place mentioned in Finsbury Park, is outstanding. The food was amazing, and the guys who run it were really friendly. I haven't found another good Italian place since we moved out of London.

Sadly I didn’t get pics of the actual food but it was great and sweet of my friends for trekking there for me.

It's no a rumour! I admit,  it is 100% true but I ate all the provolone.  I still have queso in the freezer though.

Can confirm Roti Joupa  is extremely good - all the Trinis go there. Man - maybe I'll go over xmas and get some doubles.

Herman Ze German I've never been impressed by, but I come from the land of bratwurst and it just isn't the same seasoning/style/bun and that makes me sad. I want to say they put the brat in a hot dog bun which is practically sacriledge. Also didn't think their currywurst and fries was as good as what we've had in Berlin in the past- their sausage is just way WAY too salty here.

El Pastor tacos are very good, but they are taking the piss with the prices and the service sucks.

Garlic and Shots has nothing to do with Swedish food other than some meatballs and a sausage. Its just a London outpost of a Stockholm bar. Bagariet IS the business, however, for baked goods, especially the special buns at Easter that are a raging b*tch to make at home.

Best Singaporean/Malaysian is the C&R cafe in Chinatown. You have to know where it is down an alley, but they are always humming, the service is swift (if a bit brisk) and the portions are huge for the prices.

Mien Tay in Battersea is really good and priced really well!

I've had the Passyunk Avenue cheesesteak before I think (they used to be the Liberty Cheesesteak company?) as a food truck, and while I would love to get their hookup for the cheese sauce, cheesesteak ALWAYS just sits in my gut, no matter where I get it!

Shame Japan is not represented on the list. I'm in search of truly good Japanese restaurants in the UK.
