I need your help folks! Even though I grew up living next to London, it's been ages since I've been there.

I'm off to the Harry Potter Tour on Saturday for my birthday (even though it's today ) what/where is the best place to eat around there?(I assume some people have been here if not are you bloody mad?) I don't mind heading into London but not over an hour journey from watford junction.

I don't even know if this thread made sense but there ya go!

Thanks.

No idea, that's off the edge of my mental map.

Avoid The Ivy (overrated) and get a reservation at Sketch.

There's a nice Middle East restaurant in Watford called Tarboush

Also in Watford is a good Chinese called Flower Drum

Barracuda is decent for meat and seafood

What kind of restaurant are you looking for? Burger and chips or 3 Michelin stars?

Global buffet in Watford is really nice as is Jimmy's World Buffet. They have live food counters with chefs will cook for you and a massive choice of food. They have websites, uoi could have a look.

I would recommend them.

On the high street there is also a choice of many normal restaurant chains.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

If you are looking to go into London, take a look on opentable, plenty of decent places doing great deals.

My personal suggestions would be Simpsons on the strand or the Balcon.

Great places for a special birthday meal.

Wherever you go, have a great day and happy birthday.x

I asked if she was looking for burger and chips of 3 Michelin stars. She did not answer, so it's impossible to recommend, when we don't know what she is looking for.

She's 32. I can't see Simpsons working. It's for fat old businessmen who want a very traditional lunch.

I'm from Watford theres some good suggestions on here tarboush is great as is the nascot and the flower drum. Jimmy's has been closed down as they owe the council a load of money as well as all the staff. Five guys is great if you just fancy something easy. Personally I would suggest the gourmet burger place or flower drum. With regards to steak out last I heard they where on trouble for lying about there exotic meats

Really...

Traditional yes..

Fat ol business men, not on a Saturday night, just a general cross section of society enjoying good British food.
