The London Restaurant Festival features an incredible line-up of gastronomic delights and unforgettable events across the capital.

Now in its sixth year, the festival lifts the lid of London’s finest cooking from Michelin-starred restaurants to neighborhood bistros. As a citywide celebration of eating out, 250 restaurants are taking part with great value Festival Menus. 

There are also restaurant-themed tours of the capital. With your first course in one top London restaurant, your main in another and dessert in a third, London's most original gastronomic road trip returns. There are three, themed Gourmet Odyssey trips this year: Hotels, East London and America and the line-up includes The Clove Club, The Lockhart and Holborn Dining Room, to name but a few.

In addition, the Tapas Tours return to this year’s festival, along with last year’s popular Cicchetti Trails, and Japanese Journeys. Festival-goers can experience the best Spanish, Italian, Japanese food the capital has to offer guided by their unique passports, which will be used to redeem a dish and a drink in each of six participating venues. New for 2014, is the Chinatown and Canary Tours - six restaurants in each village have been carefully selected giving guests a chance to explore some of the best restaurants in these iconic areas of London. A number of fringe (Side Order) events are also taking place from talks, tastings, and demonstrations.
