Evening Standard - 'Campion's is clearly the best guide to capital noshing now out, overtaking Zagat, Harden's and the Good Food Guide itself' The Times - 'The foodie bog book par excellence...this book cannot be bettered' The Grove Magazine - '...there is far more detail in each review than in any of its competitors. With a bewildering and exciting array of cuisines and restaurants now available in the capital, the London Restaurant Guide is an essential handbook for the curious gastronome' The Independent - 'He really knows his stuff. His own guide identifies only the London restaurants he considers to be the best. If a place isn't any good, then it simply isn't in.'

'He really knows his stuff'

Which is the best restaurant in London for a family celebration? The office party? The hot date? The meal on expenses? Charles Campion reveals all in his new guide to eating in London. Award-winning restaurant critic Charles Campion knows the best places in London for any occasion - and they're all in this new guide. Unlike guides that veer more towards offering listings, Campion's featured restaurants have all been carefully selected - there are around 400 of them here, and no "make-weights" - and they are all described in detail. The reviews give colourful insights into the cooking, ambience and service, decoding of the menu, basic information like the web address, and all the inside knowledge that comes after years as a restaurant critic. There are full details of the prices, including for set meals, starters, mains and desserts, and wine. Making it easier to compare the options, Campion's is handily organised by neighbourhood, with easy-to-read maps, and one review by page. With a range from Mayfair hotspots to Pakistani grill houses, it also comes with indexes to help with searches alphabetically and by cuisine, and lists that range from where to see celebrities to where to head for family celebrations.
