A Festival Menu should encapsulate, explain and deliver the essence of each participating establishment. The menus will be an opportunity to concentrate even more than usual on creativity, seasonality, surprise, nurturing and good value.
Menus at different fixed price points will give potential customers confidence. Places that they may have been diffident about trying become understandable and accessible.
Festival Menus provide the opportunity for restaurants of any ethnicity to convey precisely what their cuisine contributes and the part it plays in the astonishing range of restaurants that London possesses.
The many events of the festival will culminate in the London Restaurant Festival Awards presented on the evening of 13 October in association with the London Evening Standard.
Among the awards is the category of Best London Festival menu, which will go the restaurant – in each price category – that in the opinion of the judges has most creatively, generously and deliciously presented an edible snapshot of how they feed us

Hi Fay,
Can you help us? My husband and I (community midwife who rarely gets away!) are coming to London for the first time in a lot of years and are excited to see the food festival is on. We both love good food but are not up to date with the top restaurants and would like to try the ones you would recommend. We are coming for five days 9~14 Oct. Going to the Dominion theatre on 13th at 7.30pm and to the Old Vic on 11th at 17.00hrs.
I know you are a very busy person and this is possibly too cheeky to ask of your time but it would be very much appreciated if you could give us a few recommendations before I go ahead and book places at random.
Thank you, kind regards,
Shirley Black, Cellardyke, Fife, Scotland
