disappointing, 10 Sep 2007
I was disappointed by the light weight write-ups. Also, it looks to me like all the reader reviews on Amazon have been written by the publisher. Hmmmmm. Best London Restaurant Guide, 03 Aug 2004
I'm an ex-Zagat user. I found this guide's reviews more accurate, the rating system better, and I love the end of book map. The best London restaurant guide i've found, 15 Dec 2003
By far the best and most accurate guide to London restaurants. A comprehensive guide very similar in format to Zagat guides with little comments in "" woven into the text, but where it far surpases Zagat is in the cost estimates. Zagat has no defined methodology for pricing - they just ask reviewers how much their meal cost - not taking into account whether the people had tap water only or 2 bottles of wine each. Harden's defines the cost estimates as 3 course dinner with 1/2 bottle house wine, coffee, cover, service, etc. Still only an indication, but in my experience much, much more accurate than Zagat (where I've had cost estimates of £45 come out at £75 per head for a basic meal with little alcohol - that's quite a difference). I also appreciate the feature which places the restaurants on actual maps. I've used this a lot when people ask me "what's the name of that [italian/indian/french/chinese, etc.] restaurant on [XXX] street." Great guide to London Restaruants. Recommend it highly.
Restaurant reviews were on the ball, 20 Nov 2003
I read this book when i wanted to take my girlfriend somewhere special. After reading I took my girlfriend up the oxo tower, which she enjoyed more than any other place we have been too. I recommend this book to any romantic
Eat out in London? This guide is essential, 07 Oct 2001
The Harden brothers have been writing their guide for 10 years or so now, and get over 5000 responses every year to their survey of London restaurant goers. The restaurant ratings are based on this survey, and the write ups of each restaurant are a combination of Hardens' own views and quotes from the survey participants. Generally the rankings are pretty reliable, and the various look up tables (from best brunch in Central London to best (only!) Cuban restaurant) make this a must have guide for those times where you want to try somewhere new or just want some good suggestions. Also includes reviews of London's top ten favourites and maps so you can pinpoint your destination. Thoroughly recommended.

quick , short and sweet reference, 27 Feb 2003
ever wondered along the many roads of london thinking how i can fill the grumbling stomach without breaking the bank. well this does exactly that. a fast and rough listing of what, where as well as WHEN to eat. the last point being a particularly nice touch for those wishing to eat at THE place without hitting that credit card limit. doesnt try to be a comprehensive in depth analysis of where to eat but fits nicely in a draw or bag to use as a quck reference for that very need to try something different. so overall does what it says on the can and be happy, just dont expect everything under the sun.
Good Cheap Eats in London, is exactly what you get !, 11 Jul 2002
A very useful pocket size book; packed full of reviews, valuable tips and maps too. You can find restaurants by type or location. Find out how to get good value for money and eat out for less in London. A trip to London need not be as expensive as you think.
Good food at good prices, 21 Mar 2001
If I don't want to spend a lot, but want a great meal, this guide points me to some fantastic places - including the odd surprise. I take it everywhere, not only because it is so easy to use.
