Pepe's

You're on Regent Street craving something that actually tastes good—not just fills a hole—and Pepe's delivers. This place does one thing and does it properly: peri-peri chicken in various heat levels, with sides that know their place. The queues on Friday nights tell you everything; locals keep coming back because the chicken's properly seasoned, the chips are crispy, and you're not paying daft money for decent food. It's the sort of spot where you order at the counter, grab your meal, and either eat it standing up or take it somewhere more comfortable.
