We’ve partnered with the London Restaurant Festival to highlight the top taste-bud tingling places along Oxford Street. Satisfy your cravings and book a range of tours specifically designed to get your mouth watering and tummy rumbling – they are not to be missed!

Festival highlights tour – for those that want a bit of everything

For the ultimate tour of the West End, book the Festival Highlights tour. Showcasing the very best of Oxford Street, the itinerary is packed with fantastic foodie experiences from start to finish! Kick off the afternoon with a welcome reception at Aqua Nueva – sip on a seasonal cocktail and tuck into authentic tapas while taking in the views of the city on the sky-high terrace. Next up, a short stroll take you to Jason Atherton’s Berners Tavern for a 2-course brunch. If you’re a fan of the classics, then the Eggs Florentine will not disappoint. Looking for something different? Then the Crispy Chicken & Waffle with blue cheese dressing, smoked bacon and pickled jalapẽnos – so good you’ll be day dreaming of this dish for a while.

Make sure to save room as you move onto Market Halls for a quick pit stop and choose a dish from their line up of street food stars – for us Le Bab (classy kebabs) and Whipped (deliciously sweet treats) are not to be missed. Move onto afternoon tea at the delectable Bond Street Tea Rooms and enjoy canapés, finger sandwiches, scones and a beautifully presented dessert – so pretty you’ll want to take a picture of everything! Hopefully by now you’re not in a food coma, as one more experience awaits…a visit to the unmissable immersive gallery, Frameless. Whether you’re booking with a date or a mate, this is sure to be a food filled and fun-packed afternoon!

Masterclass – for those that love to learn

If cocktails are your thing, then book the Masterclass at the London EDITION Punch Room. An award-winning speak-easy style bar, Punch Room has become a popular spot for cocktail lovers looking for a tipple post work or on the weekends. Join an immersive tasting and interactive masterclass led by an expert mixologist, taking guests through a journey of the Punch Room’s infamous Punch Cocktails. Enter a journey of ‘Lights’ with each chapter being paired with a small plate. Perfect for a date – join this tour on Saturday 19th October.

Restaurant hopping tour – for those that enjoy different flavours

Sample the flavour of the West End in a discovery of the culinary diversity of the iconic Oxford Street on the Restaurant-Hopping Tour. Experience a unique evening as you take a tour of the world with tasting plates from a variety restaurants in the West End. Kick off with a visit to Amalfi, a contemporary Italian inspired by the relaxed warmth of the Amalfi Coast. Next escape the bustle and head up to the 1864 Rooftop Bar & Kitchen on the 6th floor of John Lewis – boasting breathtaking city views and chic ambiance. Head back down to LAVO, a sophisticated Italian restaurant at The BoTree Hotel – famous for their 20 layer chocolate cake! Last but not least, take a trip to Asia at Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat. A gorgeous dining room invites you to settle in for top-class food expertly cooked on the rabata grill. Highly popular, this tour has already sold out – however join the waitlist to see if you can bag a spot – you never know. Or alternatively, we suggest doing your own food tour and taking inspiration from this, because let’s be honest, who doesn’t love to go on a culinary journey and experience a range of mouthwateringly tasty flavours and dishes!
