Chef's pick is Warren Street: 17 of his places are a 15-minute walk. Chef picks hotels the way he picks restaurants: from the best lists, and what reviewers say.
Chef checks your hotel's rate every morning until free cancellation ends and emails you if it drops.
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
Researched and published by Chef Amazing, from our own stories, this year’s critics and food press, and a check that each place is open. Nobody pays to be on our lists: how we pick. Spot something wrong? Tell us and we fix it.
