Time Out London's Best Restaurants 2011

People used to snicker when mentioning London and great food in the same breath. The stereotype has long since been put to bed. The influx of immigrants from a wide array of countries has elevated the variety, as well as the quality of the culinary choices one faces. Geared to a wide range of budgets and tastes, the Time Out London Eating and Drinking Guide 2011 is as comprehensive and wide-reaching as ever. With over 1,500 reviews, the range of venues, which also includes food shops and cookery and wine classes, is unrivalled. Unlike other London eating guides that are based on public surveys, every establishment is visited anonymously by an experienced Time Out reviewer. Time Out pays for all their meals making them completely independent from the competition and the restaurants do not pay to be included in the guide. Detailed information for the discerning diner is included with every review, from the main course prices of a meal, to recommended house specialties, the quality of food, alfresco areas, ambience, private dining facilities and which credit cards are accepted.
