Recommended Restaurants

Here is a selection of some of our recommended restaurants from around the world. There isn't much of a theme to them except that they are all good value for money (and none of them makes you wear a tie).

Indian

• Kashmir (Bradford)

French

• Auberge Tendasque (Tende)

Italian

• Boscaiolo (London)
• In Sydney you can just wander round the Leichhardt district and find wonderful, cheap (by British standards) Italian restaurants every few yards. Or at least you could about ten years ago. Actually Sydney is a good place to find all sorts of restaurants (except that I never found a decent Indian one - try Bradford instead).

Local

• Eraina Taverna (Cambridge)
• Midsummer House (Cambridge)
• I think we don't recommend the Good Pub Not Mondays any more as it is reputed (from several sources) to have got too expensive since being listed by Egon Ronay. But it's in quite a distinctive position and is still a useful landmark when flying over the fens. (Let us know when your prices come back down to about GPB 7 a head and we'll put you back on our list.)

Alaska

• Don't bother. Give up eating until you get home. But this is not a reason not to visit Alaska, as there are plenty of other things to do and see - the Lonely Planet book is recommended (as usual). Actually, the salmon bake at the Taku Glacier Lodge is OK, but it's basically worth doing for the floatplane ride from Juneau over the ice cap rather than just for the food (phone +1 907 586 1362).
