About

This cross-Channel outpost of Parisian celebrity haunt Ferdi has brought a whole new level of anxiety to securing a table in London. Reservations can only be made via text, and your table may disappear in the course of your messaging. If you manage to get through the door, you’ll find a tiny wood-panelled dining room in Shepherd Market, with soft toys arranged around the ceiling and paper-topped tables packed so closely they require shifting when your neighbour needs to use the loo. The menu is reproduced in English, French and Spanish and it repays to be trilingual: there is no chilli con carne on the English list, but there is on the French. The famous ‘Mac Ferdi’ cheeseburger is far and away the best thing to eat. The repertoire is otherwise fairly hotchpotch (Greek salad, nachos, meatballs and mash). Breaded prawns had sweet meat but the appearance of a supermarket canapé; macaroni cheese came with a huge ruff of shaved ham encircling the bowl (instead of mingled in the pasta); and Belgian waffles with whipped cream tasted shop-bought. To be fair, Ferdi has arrived without generating any of its own PR fanfare, the tables of mostly French diners were having a whale of a time, and the French staff could not have been lovelier. But on the basis of the food, it’s not hard to see why London has stolen Paris’s crown as the best place to eat in Europe.

Amazing cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and relax. The burger was especially enjoyable—juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

One of my favorite restaurants

Had a really great experience here. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The service was friendly and attentive throughout.


The food was definitely a highlight — the burger was excellent, the padrón peppers were full of flavor, and the meatballs with mashed potatoes were absolutely delicious and comforting.


Overall, a very enjoyable visit with great food and lovely service. Would happily come back again!

“An unforgettable experience at Ferdi, London! ??? The service was exceptional and friendly, and the halal food was fresh and delicious with excellence. The weather is warm and comfortable despite the smallness of the place, which makes you feel like you are at home. An ideal choice for anyone looking for a high-quality halal burger with a warm touch. I highly recommend it! ????? #FerdiLondon

Best burger in Town

Ferdi offers a truly unforgettable dining experience. The burger alone is worth the visit,it’s honestly the best in the world. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and made with real attention to detail, it easily stands out as a signature dish.


There’s also a great variety on the menu, with other delicious options like enchiladas, chicken Caesar salad, and croquettes, all prepared with the same level of care and quality.


The restaurant itself is small, but that only adds to its charm. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. On top of that, the service is accurate and attentive without being overbearing, ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish.


A fantastic spot that’s easy to recommend—you’ll likely find yourself wanting to come back again.

Tourist Trap

They add a high service charge to the food and then ask if you’d like to add a service tip. They add to the final bill a 20% “alcohol tax” to the advertised drinks’ price, something I’ve never seen in any UK restaurant before.  This is obviously a way to increase their profit margins from unsuspecting tourists.  Avoid at all costs.

Very disappointing
I went with three other friends for dinner tonight and we were extremely disappointed. Firstly the atmosphere was terrible. The vast majority of guests were middle eastern - which as a frequent traveller to the region I have no problem with - but it does mean that everyone is on their phones and not a single person is talking. This wouldn't be a problem if the tables weren't so close together. The food is very mediocre. The famous burger is sloppy and wet with rose marie sauce. Fast food burger joints are much better. The cost for all of this was rediculouly high - almost £300 for us to eat wet tasteless burgers and fries. Would never recommend this place.

Don't eat here if you like food and value money
Truly disappointing. The "famous" cheeseburger was awful. A thin grey patty, smothered in acidic burger sauce, a tiny shaving of gherkin and a slice of individually packeted plastic burger cheese, with a stale old-school sesame seed bun. Grim - certainly not up to the standards of any London restaurant I've been to. Macdonalds is better than this. On top of that, it was extortionate. My friend and I went for lunch, each had a cheeseburger, shared a portion of chips (£6!!) and drank tap water. The bill came to £42. Last but not least, the management have crammed in far too many tables into what could be a cosy space. Instead, it's cramped and claustrophobic. Genuinely disappointed that this place is taking up a slot in Shepherd Market.
