Sunday Times Top 100 Restaurants in Britain

The Sunday Times published its bi-annual guide to the top 200 restaurants in Britain in its 30th October 2011 edition.

Their list represents the view of the food loving general public instead of the usual anonymous inspectors in guides such as Michelin or AA.  The list is compiled in association with the Harden’s Guide using 80,000 genuine reports from diners who had been asked to rate the places they have visited.

The report has shown that a growing number of the best restaurants are now outside of London – 50% of the top 100 this year rather than 40% a year earlier.  An excellent showing of 31 new entries have also made it onto the list showing that despite austere times quality and innovativeness are still shining through.  You can also enjoy discreet but exceptional offers at many of these top restaurants through Design Restaurants Club.
