Farringdon is not a place to base yourself, but rather a destination for eating. The area has accumulated an impressive collection of restaurants, from casual burger joints to more serious dining. Gordon Ramsay Street Burger rates 4.4 from around 2,200 reviews; St John Smithfield and Luca both sit at 4.5 from roughly 3,200 and 1,800 reviews respectively. The Piano Works Farringdon and Smiths of Smithfield both rate 4.2, the latter from over 3,000 reviews.
The standout is Ye Olde Mitre, rated 4.7 from around 3,400 reviews. That kind of consistency across a large number of visitors suggests it has earned its reputation. Beyond these six, there are dozens more places to eat scattered through the area, making it possible to spend a day moving between different restaurants and bars without running out of options.
If you are planning a food-focused trip to London and want to concentrate your eating in one neighbourhood, Farringdon offers serious depth. You would need to stay elsewhere and travel in, but the sheer volume and quality of places to eat here makes that a small inconvenience.
