If you're in the city and want to grab something for lunch, Eat is a great place to go.
Similar to Pret a Manger, Eat has the typical British boxed sandwiches and a variety of salads. But unlike Pret, they also have some more exotic noodle dishes.
However, the best thing about Eat is the soup. Every day, Eat offers a simple and bold soup of the day, which can be found on their website (www.eat.co.uk). And the soup is definitely a meal.
When I worked in London, I would check the internet before I headed down to Eat to see if I liked the soup they were serving. And some of the soups were just outrageous -- like chicken pot pie and Hungarian goulash. I never had a bad soup.
At 2-3 pounds for a soup, the prices are reasonable. Like Pret, there isn't much seating in Eat, but there are some stools and a couple tables in most of the locations.
On a cold day in London, there's nothing better than a hot bowl of soup. And Eat has the best soup I've ever eaten.
