In October 1976, the London restaurant world was turned upside down when Michael Caine, celebrated chef Richard Shepherd and Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan opened Langan’s, a celebrity hangout that would revolutionise the capital’s dining scene. This soon became the most celebrated restaurant in the city, and helped turn London into an internationally recognised culinary hot spot. Inheriting its status from Mr. Chow and St. Lorenzo, Langan’s was soon joined by Joe Allen, Le Caprice and L’Escargot, making London the most vibrant restaurant capital of the age. London never looked back. Written with Dylan Jones’s trademark glamour and wit, ‘Table Hopping’ reveals all you need to know about the fine dining world of one of the greatest cities in the world.
