Last Thursday Hellen and myself went to visit this years Taste of London festival in Regent’s Park, hoping for more of the same glamour and sumptuous food that was on offer at last year’s event – and we weren’t disappointed. Taste of London is billed as the world’s greatest restaurant festival, with some of London’s best restaurants and chefs in attendance presenting world class food to guests. However there’s a lot more to Taste of London than this…
For those of you who may have seen James Ramsden’s slightly hyperbolic (initially at least) article on Taste of London, the event does require guests to be prepared to pay for Michelin quality food, however the charm of the festival is missed. The unique charm of Taste of London’s is its ability to provide a huge selection of stonkingly good food within a fascinating environment. Guests aren’t required to stand on the spot whilst eating their food, the more adventurous of you will want to walk and eat! Guests have the unique ability to walk between different cultures, fusions and a heap of Michelin stars. I myself quite appreciated eating a fried dim-sum platter from Michelin starred Yauatcha whilst strolling past Launceston Place debating whether or not to have a rice pudding souffle and raspberry sauce (for two) after.
