Looking for Haute Cuisine experiences in London?

This is for all you foodies out there….just in case you haven’t heard the news.

The London Restaurant Festival announced an exciting new event for this year’s line-up. In celebration of their ongoing partnership with American Express, ‘10-10-10’ will see 20 of the UK’s most celebrated chefs working side by side on exclusive Sunday lunch menus.

Ten top chefs from across the UK will be paired with ten London chefs and then travel to the capital to cook in their restaurants. The menus will be on offer to anyone booking with an American Express card. (If you don’t have one, get a friend or colleague to book using their card). This is an incredible opportunity for American Express cardholders and their foodie friends to experience one-off collaborations from some of the UK’s culinary heavyweights. To find out who they are, visit the London Restaurant Festival web site: http://www.visitlondon.com/londonrestaurantfestival/

Furthermore, British super-chef Heston Blumenthal has announced the opening date for his first London restaurant. On December 1st 2010, Dinner will open at the Mandarin Hotel in Knightsbridge – a prestigious address which is already home to Bar Boulud.

Diners will enjoy stunning views over Hyde Park as well as a unique glimpse into the kitchen, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows which will separate it from the dining room. The restaurant will also feature a pulley system, modelled on a 16th century design for the kitchens at the Royal British Court. Resembling the craftsmanship of an oversize watch, it will mechanically rotate a spit over an open fire. (Fingers crossed for London’s poshest hog roast!).
