Taste of London: 15 - 18 June in Regents Park

Filed in archive Destination: UK + Ireland on June 15, 2006

Enjoy the blossoming London weather and offerings from 40 of capital's top chefs in the most regal of parks with the four day Taste of London event at Regent's Park.

Each of the forty eateries offers up three sample sized dishes, often divided between starter, main and dessert. Visitors purchase food in the show's currency of Crowns, which can be bought on site much like a gastronomic fun fair. Restaurants include Cinnamon Club, Fifteen, Carluccio's, Momo, and Vilandry.

The menus look absolutely divine, and 10 Crowns - or £5 - for Daube de Boeuf à l'ancienne et gratin dauphinois (braised beef in red wine and creamed potatoes) sounds like a perfectly reasonable price to me. Especially if finished off with the horrendous but so wonderful Mars bar cheesecake with cinnamon crème fraiche for 6 Crowns.

Entry tickets begin at £15 with VIP packages running up to £95 per head and selling out fast.
