For 15 years Michael Winner has been reviewing restaurants in the Sunday Times. His column remains the most read and most controversial and is a shining star of original comments. Here he has drawn on those reviews, updating many of them, and including other hotels and restaurants which he has never written about in the paper. Some 400 restaurants and hotels are listed in the United Kingdom and abroad. Written in his own inimitable style and presenting facts on food, service, and ambience, always in the outrageously subjective manner that we've come to know and love, Winner's Dinners is not only witty, controversial, and bitingly truthful, it will also give any reader the confidence to visit a previously untried restaurant and know that they will enjoy a good meal.
