If you prefer to celebrate the Halloween spirit in the form of going out to eat rather than going out to trick or treat – then look no further. Here are some great places to eat out in the capital this Halloween and enjoy some ghoulish-inspired foods.
Cinnamon Soho
The modern lively Indian restaurant in Soho is just a stone’s throw away from Carnaby Street; offering fresh and seasonal Indian cuisine, with a quirky British twist. Cinnamon Soho serve up lunch, dinner, cocktails and even afternoon tea. This season, they have a special Pumpkin brulee dish with carom seed shortbread on their menu which looks pretty delish… Available until Feb 2016.

Bread Street Kitchen
Tucked away in the shadows of St Paul’s Cathedral, this restaurant has a distinct New York vibe complete with two bustling bars. Gordon Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen serves up something for everyone, with an array of dishes inspired from all round the globe, including stone-baked dishes, charcoal grills and a range of salads, mains, starters and desserts. But what were really interested in, is The Smashing Pumpkin cocktail; a concoction of pumpkin syrup, fresh lemon, mint and served in a mini pumpkin; yum. Available from 26th October to 5th November.
