London Restaurant Festival

World Class Dining October 1 - 31

Since 2008, the capital city has hosted the London Restaurant Festival (October 1-31). This year's month-long festival will feature 60 events and exclusive menus at 250 restaurants.

Highlights include Chef-hosted Lunches, Restaurant-Hopping Tours and Champagne Gourmet Odysseys. While many of these are already sold out, there are still reservations available at some of the best restaurants in the city. In partnership with OpenTable, the restaurants have been cleverly grouped by themes, including London Legends, Amazing Spaces, Avant Garde, Flights & Pairings, London with a View and Talk of the Town.

Some my favorites with specially-priced menus include:

• Coq d’Argent Restaurant - Game Tasting Menu 5 courses £60
  
• Floral by Lima - 8 dishes to share & a pisco sour £40
  
• Galvins at Windows - 3 course Menu Prestige & a glass of Bellini £82
  
• Hakkasan - 2 courses & glass of wine £30
  
• Hawksmoor - 2 courses & a choice from 3 cocktails £30
  
• Hotel Café Royal - Champagne Afternoon Tea £55
  
• Inamo - 4 dishes & 2 drinks £29
  
• Launceston Place - 8 course tasting menu & wines for 2 £298
  
• Leicester Square Kitchen - Lunch & Pre-theatre menu 3/4 dishes £22/£27
  
• Sanderson - Tipsy Evening Tea: £58
  
• Skylon - Pre-or Post-theatre 2 courses £25, 3 courses £30
  
• Ting Restaurant - 4 course menu & a glass of champagne £40
  

Even if you managed to eat out three times a day - it would take you over 2-1/2 months to get to all the restaurants on the list. Regardless of how many you get to, at least you'll have fun trying!
