What is the London Restaurant Festival?

The London Restaurant Festival will run from the 8th to 27th October 2014 as a celebration of great food and wonderful dining experiences. This festival aims to raise the profile of the restaurants and cooks taking part, and show the true melting pot of different cuisines on offer in the capital.

For three weeks, festival participants – from Michelin starred restaurants to small, independent bistros – will be preparing special festival menus and events in a citywide celebration of eating out.

This is the 6th year of the festival, and over the past years it has seen great success. This year, as well as tasting delicacies from special festival menus, visitors can also expect a variety of tours on a culinary theme, through areas such as Carnaby and Chinatown.
