The Best Restaurants in Fulham

1910 Cantina is a casual, lowkey spot located in Parson’s Green, and it’s the perfect place to hit up for equally yummy food and drinks. The vibe here is buzzy and energetic — totally fuss-free, which is exactly what’s needed sometimes (well, all the time). In such a fuss-full life, a good Mexican spot with good music and good energy is inevitably a cure.

Obviously, we can’t hit up a Mexican joint and not order some form of marg as soon as we sit down. They’ve got loads of different varieties with tequila, mezcal, and all the classic cocktails too, but our favourite had to be Tammy’s Margarita. A subtle twist on the classic, sweetened with raspberry agave for a fruity kick. And no drink is complete without a portion of chips — in this case, their homemade crispy tortilla chips served with guac and salsa. If nachos aren’t the vibe, definitely try out their sweetcorn ribs. This was such an innovative dish! Smoked and marinated to perfection, topped with jalapeños, cheese, and mayo. Creamy, spicy, all the dreamy flavour combos essentially.

Honestly, choosing mains was hard because there isn’t a single thing on that menu we wouldn’t enjoy. Our best bet was to get a bit of everything, so we tried different flavour combos in both tacos and quesadillas. For seafood lovers, the Baja Pescado Tacos are a must — battered white fish on a bed of shredded lettuce, topped with chipotle mayo and a tangy slaw. The perfect balance of heat from the fried fish and freshness from all the toppings. For something more decadent, go for the Quesabirria Tijuana Style. This is a quesadilla stuffed with insanely seasoned, slow-cooked beef brisket, onions, chillies, and a side of birria gravy for dunking. The cheese pull on this thing is no joke.

Koji is a classy establishment — moody lighting, sleek interiors, and the perfect spot for date night or any special occasion. In a setting like this, we couldn’t resist a classy cocktail (or three). Sorry, wallets. In our defence, they’ve got an insane cocktail list — the classics, the classics with flair, “new era” martinis, and even vintage concoctions. We’d seriously be doing ourselves a disservice if we skipped them.

Our favourite had to be the Zu Zu Martini from the New Era Martini list. Any fruity cocktail lover would absolutely adore this one — peach, passion fruit, apple juice, and vodka. Basically, all the best cocktail fruits combined into one dangerously drinkable martini.

With those sweet cocktails, starters had to be something salty and fried — the ultimate combo. We went for the Japanese fried chicken (because when does that ever get old?) and the soft-shell crab tempura. The latter came with the dreamiest jalapeño aioli — we were genuinely scraping the bowl clean.

For mains, we recommend ordering a bunch of smaller plates to try a bit of everything. However, if sharing isn’t the vibe (no judgement, we get it), the meats from their robata grill looked unreal too. We had the tuna and spicy ponzu sashimi tacos and the yakitori skewers — each comes in twos, perfect for sharing. And honestly, after that, just go ham on the sushi. We couldn’t pick a favourite, so our only advice is to get as many as possible.

Santa Maria is a homely, authentic pizzeria. It’s fuss-free and all about the pizza—that perfect combo of crispy, thin, yet still melt-in-the-mouth goodness.

We kicked things off with the classic bruschetta. This was thick-cut bread that’s crisp on the edges but fluffy inside, topped with tomatoes, oregano, basil, and, of course, a generous drizzle of olive oil. We were tempted to add buffalo mozzarella, but decided to save the cheese overload for our pizzas. Pair it with a glass (or bottle—no judgment) of Sauvignon Blanc. What goes better with bread than wine?

Then came the main event. The pizza list is huge, with endless topping options, but we finally settled on the Santa Caterina. It was tomato based, topped with mozzarella, salami, fresh chilli, and our personal must-have add-on: black olives. Not everyone’s thing, and we’ll never understand why.

And obviously, at an Italian joint there’s only one proper palate cleanser. A creamy, dreamy tiramisu.

The Tommy Tucker is the ideal spot for refined pub lovers. In other words, for those who crave that traditional hearty pub feel, but not the sticky floors and questionable hygiene levels. The vibe here still feels authentic and casual, but there’s definitely a sense of sleekness that makes it stand out from the typical local.

For a light but flavour-packed starter, we recommend the tiger prawns. These are fried in a black pepper sauce and served with fresh sourdough bread. The perfect companion to a cold drink. But when the weather turns chilly, there’s only one right choice for a starter: the baked camembert. Ooey, gooey, paired with cranberry compote and sourdough. Now add a glass of red wine, and name something better than that. Impossible.

For mains, they’ve got all the British pub favourites: fish and chips, pies, bangers and mash, burgers — the classics. But we suggest venturing out a little and going for one of their more refined dishes. We went for the chicken kiev, another British staple, served with green beans and sautéed potatoes. The green beans didn’t blow us away, but the halloumi fries we added on the side were absolutely rave-worthy.

And of course, we had to finish in true British pub fashion with a sticky toffee pudding. It’s impossible to go wrong with this one — rich, warm, and served with vanilla ice cream. Comfort food at its finest.

The Little Blue Door is a modern, lively spot that’s pretty much impossible to miss. It’s known mainly for its buzzing bar scene, but honestly, the food here easily earns it a place on this list. Who doesn’t love immaculate vibes alongside a great meal? Plus, no need to head elsewhere for the party — it’s literally in the same room.

The menu has a bit of everything — tapas, bar snacks, burgers, hearty bowls — so no matter the mood, you’re covered. For pure indulgence, get the fried chicken thighs with the most addictive garlic aioli. For a balance of decadence and freshness, the sweetcorn fritters and prawn tempura tacos are the dream combo. And let’s be real — these dishes practically beg for a cocktail on the side.

They’ve got an incredible cocktail list, but for something that’ll give you that instant buzz (and a dangerously good time), go for the House Punch. It’s a tropical mix of four kinds of rum, guava, pineapple, and lychee — one sip and we were gone.

Between the house parties every weekend, happy hours on weekdays, and bottomless brunches, this place just oozes fun, fuss-free energy. The perfect blend of party and plate.

The Brown Cow is a super chilled-out spot — perfect for friendly catch-ups, casual dates, or even work lunches. They also do brunch which, for a pub, usually would scare us a bit… but not here. None of that greasy full English vibe (not that we’re ever above ordering one at the local Spoons, of course). It’s all a bit more elevated and bougie here — honestly, the brunch menu could rival most dedicated brunch spots in London. Think fresh pastries, granola bowls, avo toast, and shakshuka, all made with top-quality ingredients. Definitely worth a visit just for that.

We came for a late lunch, and choosing what to order was not easy. We had every intention of staying for a while (and maybe working our way through the menu slowly but surely). A few beers in, and that mission was well underway.

We started with all the picky bits — basically fried heaven. Courgette fries, padron peppers, and our absolute favourite: buttermilk fried chicken. The chicken itself was perfectly crispy yet juicy, but the real magic was in the sauces. Buffalo hot honey and ranch — mix them together, dunk like there’s no tomorrow, and thank us later.

After that greasy (in the best way) start, we wanted something a bit fresher but still satisfying. Enter the tandoor chicken flatbread. We’re always a bit sceptical when pubs branch into other cuisines, but they nailed it here. The mango yogurt on top adds a burst of freshness, and the crispy chickpeas bring that perfect bit of crunch.

Another buzzy, lively Mexican joint makes it onto our list. What can we say, Fulham is clearly full of them (pun absolutely intended). Yucca brings truly authentic, homely Mexican food, and that warmth flows through the whole place.

We kicked things off with the BBQ baby back ribs served with coleslaw — definitely one to share unless you plan on making it your main meal. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Jalapeños Rebozados — basically Mexican-style jalapeño poppers. Crispy on the outside, creamy and spicy on the inside, and paired with a tangy Mexican salsa. This with a pina colada and we basically felt like we were on holiday.

For mains, they’ve got all the Mexican staples — tacos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, and even burgers. But let’s be honest, skip the burger and fully embrace the fiesta. The shredded chicken quesadillas were loaded with flavour (and cheese — expect a proper, satisfying cheese pull). For something a little lighter but still full of punch, the kale tacos are a hidden gem. A soft flour tortilla stuffed with sautéed kale, sweet potato, avocado, feta, pico de gallo, and sriracha — it may be veggie, but it’s still bold, spicy, and totally satisfying.

And obviously, no Mexican meal is complete without churros. Dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with a piping-hot chocolate sauce. Sweet, crunchy, and utterly divine. Chef’s kiss.

Manuka Kitchen is a wholesome, casual spot with cutesy café vibes. Perfect for the health-conscious brunch crowd, but equally great for a hearty meal that hits the spot. Everything here is fresh, locally sourced, and organic — which we love to see.

We kicked things off with the orange, carrot, and ginger juice. Freshly squeezed, it packed a punch of sweet orange with a subtle ginger kick. Perfect for feeling like any looming cold didn’t stand a chance.

For brunch, we had the garden scrambled eggs. Sure, we could make this at home, but the combination of courgette, shallots, chilli, harissa, and mint-marinated feta makes it feel next level. Way beyond our watery scrambled eggs at home. For something truly decadent, try the duck and waffle. A buttery waffle topped with a crispy duck leg, fried egg, and drizzled in maple syrup. Sweet and savoury in perfect harmony.

And because we never do just one course, we rounded off with the banana bread topped with homemade peanut butter cream. A classic elevated to absolute perfection.

The Harwood Arms is a homely, traditional pub — think fireplaces, drapes, wooden furniture, the whole cosy shebang. They’re particularly famous for their wine selection, which is extensive, so we simply couldn’t resist. For a safe bet that pairs well with most dishes, we recommend a classic Bordeaux white.

The menu here is more refined and posh, perfect for those with elevated tastes. However, maybe not the best spot for a family outing unless it’s a Sunday roast. It also changes weekly, so check before paying it a visit.

For starters, we went for the chicken liver parfait. Honestly, it was the warm buttery brioche that stole the show — maybe the wine talking, but it’s always that combo of top-notch bread and a glass of something crisp that does it for us. 

For mains, we opted for the Iberian pork with grilled turnips. Fancy, yes, but cooked and presented flawlessly, with the freshest ingredients. Finally, for dessert, we kept it classic with the honey tart topped with cherries and buttermilk ice cream — light yet decadent, the perfect finish.

Must be wondering how we’ve made it this far without including an authentic, flavour-packed Indian spot. Well, that changes now. Naayab is the perfect place to get the family out of the house for a meal that feels special, without being too pretentious or over the top.

We started with a Kingfisher and poppadoms served with the holy trinity chutney set: mint, mango, and spicy tomato. The tandoori garlic and mustard prawns are an absolute must too. Usually, we stick to chicken tikka, but this was a brilliant twist. Flavours we’d never seen on a menu before, and they just worked.

That was enough experimenting for us and, for mains, we went back to our roots with the classic butter chicken. Loved for a reason — creamy, buttery, perfectly marinated chicken. Lactose intolerant? Look away, because we scooped it all up with garlic butter naan, with pilau rice on the side for a fresh balance.

Finally, we finished with a mango lassi. Thick, creamy, and dessert-level indulgence in a glass.
