| | | Lunch
Hey
I was wondering if anyone else found that when new here it is a bit confusing working out where to get food (and what to get when there!)
I see lots of little chinese places around but have no idea what to order as is all (obviously) in chinese!
Can anyone recommend any good places in Central for a take away lunch other than the obvious Starbucks and Pret?
THanks! | |

| | | I work near IFC and after you get sick of Pret there's not much around.
If you don't mind eating at your desk there's Olivers in the Princes building which does really nice lunches.
In IFC there's City Super which some good take away food too. If the weather's nice (like today) you can get the lift up to the roof and sit around outside to eat which is a nice touch.
Delifrance in WW House (and elsewhere) is good if you get there early enough to grab a seat.
Otherwise there's the MTR to Wan Chai for a bit of quick Subway (sandwich) action. Only 30 minutes there and back - well worth a trip... | |
