London Restaurant Festival: Summer Edition is back to put the best of the capital's food scene on display. And there's still tickets remaining...

From some of the best dining experiences in the capital to Platinum Jubilee feasts, the London Restaurant Festival (LRF) Summer Edition has a menu to suit.

LRF has invited some of the capital's greatest culinary talent to create more than 50 exclusive experiences alongside over 100 Festival Menus.

With an impressive and diverse range of collaborators that reflects the city’s thriving food scene, this summer promises to be an incredibly exciting line-up.

London’s best chefs and restaurants are taking part - from Michelin-starred dining rooms such as Evelyn’s Table and Korean-inspired Sollip, to classic spots like The River Cafe and Wiltons, all the way through to some of the hottest tables in town such as Parrillan in Coal Drops Yard, and new openings like Ed Sheeran’s neighbourhood dining spot Bertie Blossoms.

Making the most of the June weather, LRF Summer Edition features some new experiences including ‘A Walk in the Park’, a tour around some of the London’s most famous and beautiful parks, each leading to a nearby local restaurant, including Zafferano.

For Jubilee celebrations, LRF will join forces with Mayfair's street party running along North Audley Street, which also boasts spectacular street floristry, live art illustrations and live music.

Tickets will also be available to enjoy an afternoon watching the Wimbledon Championships on a floating pontoon in St Katharine’s Dock, London’s only marina.

Wine and cocktail lovers will be spoiled with a series of Masterclasses and Tasting Menus where they can enjoy a glass and expand their knowledge alongside their palate.

Tito’s Vodka will be taking guests on a boat trip down the river Thames, for a day filled with vodka martinis and oysters, ending with a seafood feast at Wright Brothers restaurant. Local heroes such as Quo Vadis will form part of this year’s ‘Pretty in Pink’ series in partnership with Maison Mirabeau rosé.

The festival will also feature special Spanish events paired with Estrella Galicia to include Parrillan and Michelin-starred Sabor, hosted by Nieves Barragán.

‘Taste the Countryside’ menus with Orchard Pig and Sorella’s Italian Cuisine with Menabrea Beer, will celebrate the best of London’s restaurants when it comes to drinking al fresco.

June will see the return of the much-loved ‘Restaurant-Hopping Tours’ and ‘Champagne Gourmet Odysseys’, with Champagne Drappier showcasing their wines alongside some of the very best international cuisine including Benares, Galvin at Windows and Hakkasan.

For the first time, LRF will also launch ‘The New Stars’ series, highlighting some of the city’s most exciting additions to the Michelin list, featuring recently-awarded restaurants Wild Honey, Evelyn’s Table and Sollip.

Respect will also be paid to the old guard as part of the ‘London Legends’ series, celebrating icons of the London food scene including perennial favourites The River Café, Otto’s and London’s oldest restaurant Rules.



For seafood lovers, the festival will also feature an abundance of luxury fish-focused evenings including ‘Caviar Experiences’ with Exmoor Caviar, with tastings and dinners at Frog by Adam Handling and Wiltons in St James’s.

In addition, there will be three ‘Secrets of the Sea’ dinners, hosted at Claude Bosi’s Bibendum Oyster Bar, Michelin-starred SOLA and Hackney’s recently opened The Sea, The Sea.



Later in the year, the annual Autumn Edition of the festival will also return as usual, in October.
