where to eat in London on business account?
I'm going to London in the New Year and want to know some trendy, buzzy, places to eat. I'll be on an expense account so price isn't really an issue. <BR> <BR>I'd really like to bump into a celebrity! <BR> <BR>-NYer James

Oh, you will have a dandy of a time. Plenty of high priced restaurants to choose from. Try Prism in the City. £80 a head! <BR> <BR>Some sites of interest: <BR> <BR>http://www.toptable.co.uk/feature/tabletalk.cfm <BR> <BR>http://www.jetsetting.net/index.php <BR> <BR>http://www.squaremeal.co.uk/scripts/...=best&best=Hot

We're going to London next week and made reservations at Spoons and the Sanderson, which is Ian Schraeger's new place. I've read reviews that Madonna and her new husband have been spotted eating there (although I figure they'll be on their honeymoon when we're there).

I read a paper article recently about celebrity autograph hunters, apparently they say that Nobu and Ivy are still the best restaurants for celeb spotting... <BR> <BR>And food is supposed to be good too. <BR> <BR>MUST have a reservation or be AAA list to get in without one... <BR> <BR>Apparently... <BR> <BR>Kav

Spoon at Sanderson is icky. Trendy wannabe kids in their evisu jeans and diesel. <BR> <BR>Nobu (Metropolitan Hotel, London) - fantastic Japanese food.. definitely worth it. Food is cheap (pricewise), wine/champagne is expensive. 300 UK pounds for a bottle of cristal. <BR> <BR>The Ivy - hard to get a table, but definitely worth it.. food isnt that good, but the ambience, the atmosphere screams chicness. <BR> <BR>Asia De Cuba (St.Martin's Lane) - since the buzz about this one is finally over, its easy to get a table. Good food, good prices.. fantastic decor.. complete eye candy. <BR> <BR> <BR>

The Ivy is London's biggest celeb hang out. Always a crowd of photographers and autograph hunters outside. Any night you could have Madonna on one table and Robert de Niro on the next. I'm going on Monday but then I did book it last April... (no joke). But you could always try phoning for a cancellation. <BR> <BR>Nobu - slightly easier to get into - I got in by booking about 3 weeks in advance and the food is the best I've eaten in my life (and I've eaten a lot).

Elsa, no you are not alone. Add me to your list. Actually we prefer the Ivy's other place, Le Caprice near Green Park, less hassle, better food, and just as likely to spot celebrities, but not those clamoring for attention. <BR>Nobu is fantastic. And I love Indigo.

Thanks for the advise on the other restaurants. It just so happens we're going to London in a couple of weeks, and we will have to try thosethat you just mentioned. <BR> <BR>BTW - I know it's not the best time to go to LON, but we will be attending a wedding in Dublin. I'll be thankful if we get just 1 nice day at this time of year!
