A good rule on this board is to follow David W's advice. Even when it's vague.
The best guide to food here is the Time Out Guide to Eating and Drinking (£10.99 from practically anywhere).
It covers our food's real glory (the spectacular strength in depth of restaurants, run and patronised by people from the relevant regions, based on the cuisines of South Asia and Greater China) to a degree neither of the other two pretenders to the claim of being a world city can match.
As well as giving sympatheic coverage to our - frankly little more than adequate - attempts to match those two also-rans in French and "Anglo-Saxon" food.
