This week in London - London Restaurant Festival

This week in London - London Restaurant Festival

For those who love food, the London Restaurant Festival is a must in the London calendar. It comprises of three weeks of fabulous foodie events and special menus at London restaurants.

Now in its sixth year, the London Restaurant Festival is a city-wide celebration of London restaurants and chefs. From great-value festival restaurant-hopping menus to pop up one-off chef-led events, there is a great range of menus during the three weeks duration.

As the London restaurant festival comes to a close, we take a look at some of the highlights of the London tasting festival. This year, Lee Broom Designs launched a new restaurant in Soho called Old Tom & English. It is situated on London’s Wardour Street, and officially opens on November 14th. Designed by Lee Broom for brother and sister duo Maria & Costas Constantinou, the space also features products from Broom’s latest collection, Nouveau Rebel. The London restaurant comprises of intimate tables in hidden rooms, and visitors can enjoy personally prepared cocktails and traditional English dishes with a twist. “Old Tom” refers to an 18th century English gin recipe and pays homage to Soho’s colourful history.

In addition, Chinatown hosted a special guided food trail as part of the Festival. Six London restaurants were selected across Chinatown to allow visitors to sample a wide range of rich and diverse Asian Food. They served Chinese classics like thick noodles with coconut, tamarind and shrimp as well as hot spicy pots and pickles. It was a tour we would recommend to those who enjoy Asian cuisine and spices. Recommended London Restaurants in China Town included: Rasa Sayang, 5 Macclesfield Street, W1D 6AY, Maotai Kitchen, 12 Macclesfield Street, W1D 5BP. Next year make sure you book your ticket to the London Restaurant Festival in China Town.
