About The London Restaurant Festival
The London Restaurant Festival is a unique event that takes place in the British Capital and has nearly 500 participating venues. The event tries to give people a chance to taste different menus of restaurants that they normally would not go to. Basically, the festival is an effort to make dining out an experience to remember, while giving a boost to the exposure of the participating restaurants. The participating restaurants create special menus that usually have reduced prices and offer customers the best of their dishes. People who attend the festival can choose from any of the different restaurants, cuisines and budgets available at the festival. There are also debates, talks and demonstrations to help publicize the event.
