London:restaurants&more

English food is much more varied than fish `n` chips (though we can tell you where to get the best London has to offer). Indeed, England`s capital city is home to a dizzying array of culinary options and of course Angelika Taschen has selected the finest London eateries where you`ll delight in a meal, tea, or simply hobnobbing with the jet-set. Highlights of this book include descriptions of: The Golden Hind with its art deco interior and delectable fish `n` chips - a fixture on Marylebone Lane since 1914; The Wolseley, classic grand cafe and perfect place for afternoon tea and scones; the same classic British cooking as Charles Dickens once did at the city`s oldest restaurant, Rules; London`s first gastropub, The Eagle; La Fromagerie, a cheese Mecca and delicatessen with fresh groceries; celebrity chef Jamie Oliver`s restaurant, Fifteen. Special features of this book include: exclusive hand-illustrated cover; exclusive hand-illustrated map for each area; information such as opening hours, history, and signature dishes; hand-illustrated tear-out postcard; and, softcover with a sturdy PVC jacket.
