At a time when the word “recession” seems to endlessly pop up in headlines, even middling local restaurants seem to be charging £70-a-head bills. Nabbing a bargain might prove a tricky undertaking. But they do exist.
This list is a handy reminder that costs needn’t climb perilously high. Here, 20 of the capital’s best chefs share where they go for an affordable meal, all across the capital and with all sorts of cooking included, from Chinatown classics to serious sandwiches. Some have long been celebrated; others are obscure. The list is ordered by location of the restaurant or café recommended, not where the chef works. Tuck in.
