Popeyes and Other Top International Restaurant Brands in the United Kingdom


Popeyes and Other Top International Restaurant Brands in the United Kingdom

Not only the Londoners, but even the rural parts of the United Kingdom are also now developing a taste for international cuisines. The popularity of foods like fried chicken, chicken nuggets, burgers, steaks, and french fries are rising every day, with Popeyes also poised to join the party.


But the tasty fried chicken market has already been frequented by multiple international restaurant brands so frequently seen in the high streets. So, today, we list down the top restaurant brands by their types below.


Best Fast Food Restaurants


Ultimately, fried chicken and other associated dishes like a chicken burger, sandwich, chicken nuggets and so on fall under the fast-food category. These are the international restaurant brands that open up many stores in and around the United Kingdom’s High Streets. It’s safe to assume Popeyes would do the same once it finds its feet in the country with its famous fried chicken.


The current top fast-food brands are:



  • McDonald’s

  • KFC

  • Subway

  • Burger King


While pizza places don’t quite fall in this category, Pizza Hut and Domino’s Pizza pretty much operates the same way.


Best Dine-in Restaurants


Well, if you were under the impression that it’s going to be a list of the fine-dining restaurants, sorry to disappoint you. Rather, it’s the international restaurant brands that are slightly more affluent and offer a nicer dine-in experience. To put things into perspective, just say that Popeyes is not in this league.


So, the best United Kingdom restaurant chain with international cuisines are:



  • Nando’s

  • PizzaExpress

  • Frankie & Benny’s

  • Wagamama

  • Five Guys

  • Hawksmoor, etc.


To conclude, no list of international restaurant brands operating in the United Kingdom would be complete without mentioning a few cafe brands. This, of course, includes the likes of Starbucks, Cafe Nero, Pret a Manger, etc. While Paul Patisserie and Restaurant is mainly a bakery, it should also get a mention.
