A citywide celebration of eating out 1-15 October 2012
The world's most sought after pop-up restaurants. Dinner inside one of the EDF Energy London Eye capsules cooked by the greatest chefs in London. It is, quite simply, the ultimate foodie experience. The 2011 chefs included Angela Hartnett, Jason Atherton and Richard Corrigan. There was three capsules of 10 people per night – three chefs rotated so that each cooked a course for every capsule.
In partnership with Livebookings, London Restaurant Festival Menus are the capital's most inspiring restaurant promotion and a fundamental part of making the event universally accessible. The Menus are specially created by the hundreds of participating restaurants and are available to customers throughout the Festival period.
A fundamental part of the London Restaurant Festival are the 'fringe' events which we call Side Orders. While LRF creates and operates the larger scale events as outlined opposite we really encourage all those working in the capital's restaurant scene to get creative and devise their own events to run throughout the festival. In 2010 we had over a dozen of these Side Order events going on including the Savoy Truffle Club, Bistroteque pop-up, a Cloudy Bay wine and food matching dinner and Street Kitchen, the mobile restaurant in an airstream. All were a sell-out and garnered plenty of publicity. No matter how small or how off-the-wall, we are interested in hearing your ideas and including them in the line up for LRF 2011. LRF is here to help chefs and restaurants poke their heads above the parapet and get noticed. So please get in touch with Adam Coghlan.
