World foodChef demosFood & drink Ticketed

A month-long, city-wide programme of ticketed dining events, tours and masterclasses at London restaurants.

Rather than one site, London Restaurant Festival is a programme of ticketed events held in restaurants all over the capital. The autumn edition runs through October, with formats such as chef-hosted dinners, a 'Top Ten Cuisines' series, neighbourhood restaurant tours, wine-bar evenings, brunch events and cookery or cocktail masterclasses.

The organisers say the festival has been running for around 17 years and now takes place twice a year, in June and October. Many events are offered first to American Express cardmembers in a presale before general release.

Each event is booked individually through the festival website, and popular ones sell out, so check the 'last tickets remaining' listings.
