One Day In Borough Market, London

Is this the best food market in London?

Borough Market has to be one of the best food markets in London, hands down! It’s one of my favourites in any case, and I always manage to find a few new delicious things to eat every time I go.

This Sunday we have plans to meet some friends in town for a friendly game of monopoly at the very cool (slash geeky) boardgame cafe in Bermondsey. A little detour to explore Borough Market was therefore always going to happen.

Savoury things to eat at Borough Market, London

I’m always slightly amazed by how many scrumptious things there are to eat at Borough Market in London. From oysters and fresh seafood paella to steak barbecued on site and pulled lamb sliders.

There are spinach pastries from the Balkans, handmade organic mushroom pâté, hot pies with mash, hand-dived scallops and venison from Dorset.

Then of course there are the stalls that sell fresh food to cook with. Stalls filled ith lobsters, octopus and giant king crabs, and others that have more varieties of mushroom than I’ve ever seen before.

There are butchers too, and traders who sell charcuterie from South Tyrol. There are East Sussex cheesemakers, amazing nut butters, buckets filled with exotic olives and ground spices too. Yum.

Sweet things to eat at Borough Market, London

And we couldn’t help but to also oogle the sweet treats. Obvi.

Although each little morsel seems better than the last, our favourites include the squidgy doughnuts from the Bread Ahead stall…

And then there are the stalls filled with fudge. There’s raspberry fudge, mint fudge, matcha fudge, mango fudge, coffee fudge, gingerbread fudge… and about three dozen more types of fudge too!

And if fudge and doughnuts aren’t your thing? Well then there are brownies, baklavas, turkish delight, artisanal chocolates, truffles, eclairs, cheesecakes, custard tarts, cookies, strudels and more kinds of cake than you could ever name. Yum.

Oh, and there are even stalls selling goat’s milk ice cream :)

There are also an array of great restaurants to eat at too. My favourite by far though has to be Arabica with its gorgeous Middle Eastern inspired dishes.

We order a few things to share, and particularly enjoy the grilled haloumi, lamb chops and chicken shish. Om nom.
