| Pizzeria Condotti (Mayfair)--If your young one insists
on pizza, here's where to get it. Pies with succulent toppings emerge
bubbling hot from the oven. The "American Hot" comes with
mozzarella, pepperoni, sausages, and hot peppers--and the menu isn't
just confined to pizzas.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese (The City)--Fleet Street's famous
chophouse, established in 1667, is an eternal favorite. If "ye
famous pudding" turns your kids off, sandwiches and roasts
will tempt them.
Hard Rock Cafe (Mayfair)--This is a great place for kids
old enough to busy themselves with rock-and-roll memorabilia as
they wait for their familiar burgers, fries, and salads with Thousand
Island dressing.
Porter's English Restaurant (Covent Garden & the Strand)--This
restaurant serves traditional English meals that most kids love--especially
the pies, stews, and steamed "spuds." They'll get a
kick out of ordering the wonderfully named bubble-and-squeak and
mushy peas.
Simpson's-in-the-Strand (Covent Garden & the Strand)--If
your offspring is an aspiring Henry VIII, take him here for the
best roasts in London, including tender roast sirloin of beef.
For dessert, he might be introduced to such English favorites
as a treacle roll.
Royal China (Paddington & Bayswater)--If there's a
dim sum lover in your family, head for this eatery. We saw a young
brother and sister devouring a dish of seafood golden cups--stir-fried
scallops, prawns, water chestnuts, and mushrooms in crispy puff
pastry.
