England: London lunch

My Old Dutch Pancake House, 131 High Holborn St., London; 011-44-20-7242-5200. “I’ve traveled to London 25 times since 1986; many times I’ve been with my students, so I am always looking for reasonable places to eat. Absolutely the best crepes in the United Kingdom can be found here. The portions are huge. You can easily split a dessert crepe and a dinner crepe with a friend.”

Rates start at $120.
