We’ve made no secret of our love for pizza joint Dough Bros this year, so of course its pie and doughnut selections are among our frequently ordered favourites. The signature pizzas boast an artisan sourdough base, resulting in that perfectly chewy texture. Opt for the Parma Pizza, with tomato, mozzarella, roasted garlic, wild mushrooms, parma ham and rocket, if you’re a pizza purist; or meatheads will love the Meatball Pizza, complete with pork meatballs, pickled chillies and fresh basil. A Dough Bros order isn’t complete without doughnuts: take your pick from fillings like strawberry jam, Nutella and custard.

For a special occasion, we’re eyeing up London-import Duck & Waffle. Expect a playful take on traditional British cuisine, with dishes spotlighting local, rustic, seasonal and sustainable ingredients. The signature Duck & Waffle, with confit leg, buttermilk waffle, fried duck egg and mustard maple syrup, is a must-order, while the BBQ Spiced Pig Ear and Smoked Salmon and Chives Cream Cheese Bagel are great for sharing. Did we mention that Duck & Waffle is included in food panda’s 30% off deal? Go, go, go!

Got a sweet tooth? Navigate your way to the Maison Eric Kayser page STAT. This authentic French bakery chain has an array of sweet treats available, including the homey Apple Turnover, decadent Chocolate Eclair and zesty Lemon Meringue Tart. If you’re being sensible and wish to order some actual food with your desserts, we love the Croque Monsieur, Artichoke, Olive and Tomato Quiche, and the healthy Quinoa Salmon Taboule Salad.

For something a little healthier, we turn to newcomer Chickpea. This grab-and-go store offers an array of Middle Eastern salads, rice and hummus bowls, packed to the brim with your choice of fillings (options range from falafel to beef kafta, chicken shawarma, halloumi and more). For a hearty yet wholesome lunch, our pick is the Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder Hummus Bowl, topped with “Lebslaw”, crispy Arabic bread and pickles. We’re also partial to the Old Faithful Pocket – a pita bread filled with spiced chicken thigh, tahini, tabouleh, hummus and harissa. For vegetarians, the Smokey Eggplant Salad, with a tahini yoghurt dressing, will hit the spot nicely.

Le Pain Quotidien might be your go-to for a morning coffee, but did you know that the Belgian restaurant chain serves up an all-day menu of wholesome, healthy dishes in addition to its artisanal bread, pastries and breakfast offerings? Its Flemish Beef Stew, served with country potato wedges and cheese, is just the thing for cold, winter days. If you did want to stick with a cafe classic, might we recommend the Avocado Toast, which uses organic bread, citrus cumin salt and organic chia seeds for the ideal mix of texture and flavour. FYI, this is another pick that’s included in foodpanda’s 30% off deal!
