London Restaurant Festival takes place for one mouth-watering week from 8th October

Taking place for one mouth-watering week from the 8th – 13th October, the London Restaurant Festival, a citywide celebration of eating out, is hoping to become the Edinburgh Festival of the food world and aims to boost restaurant takings by 20%.

The event, set to whet the appetites of foodies in Chiswick and beyond, is being supported by a handful of our finest local eateries including Napa Restaurant, High Road Brasserie and Sam's Brasserie.

Robert Russell of Chiswick Moran Hotel's Napa Restaurant told ChiswickW4.com, “The London Restaurant Festival looks to be a great opportunity for London to get out and sample the fantastic food that is on offer in this wonderful city. Having attended a briefing from the organisers, I am very excited that Napa will be featuring alongside some of the best Restaurants London has to offer and we look forward to welcoming guests who may be trying us for the first time”

Sam Harrison said, “We are thrilled to support this celebration of restaurants and eating out in London. I think it will be great fun to be involved with and we have already had lots of enquiries from overseas and people who are visiting London for the week! We had one reservation from an Italian family visiting from Rome, who intend to try a different restaurant in London every day of the festival!”

High Road Brasserie’s Nick Jones added, "There's no doubt about it that London continues to thrive on the restaurant front, and our international food reputation has improved dramatically over the last decade. The mix of cuisines and styles of operation is phenomenal here, and The London Restaurant Festival will celebrate all of that."
