Michelin and fine dining on a budget
Savvy diners using the internet have never been better placed to find great restaurants for fine dining without spending a fortune.
Design Restaurants sits at the top end of the gastronomy clubs and restaurant search engines with its assurances of featuring only destination restaurants on its website and App – restaurants that have a strong enough appeal to draw customers from beyond its community. Design Restaurants Club is its annual membership club which exclusively displays offers purely for members at restaurants not usually shown on third party websites – especially not with offers.
With support from one of London’s finest boutique hotels The Cadogan – Will Oakley, General Manager says, “ Discount sites aren’t for us but Design Restaurants is different. It gives excellent value to its members without devaluing what we offer.” Another unique feature is club restaurants place offers ordinarily for at least three months at a time rather than sporadic dailies to encourage diners to become regulars. Will notes, “The Cadogan is is a very special destination and we want all our customers to feel at home. To this aim we have selectively partnered with Design Restaurants to reward our regulars.“
