Is there a dominant online restaurant review website for London?

I have found many through Google but they all seem to compete, and so are all rather incompleteIs there a dominant online restaurant review website for London?
I wouldn't say they compete - they can actually compliment each other as they're useful for different things.



I use www.london-eating.co.uk the most because it has a huge database of restaurants, including little local ones, and they have links to professional reviews (from newspapers, magazines, etc) and bloggers reviews on a lot of the popular restaurants so you can get a lot of opinions without skipping about all over the place. The special offers are good too.



toptable is my personal favourite for restaurant bookings, because it's easy to use, runs great special offers and you can collect points to use on a free meal or a cookery book.



What do you mean by 'incomplete'? If you mean missing restaurants, then you can email most of them and mention anywhere they've missed. london-eating are always happy to add anywhere they've overlooked.
i use www.london-eating.co.uk. i like it because it has user reviews and it seems to cover most restaurants in london. In general though if you want a reliable guide to eating out in london I recommend the Harden's london restaurant guide book. it is compiled from a combination of general public reviewers and the editor's opinion to collate the reviews. you can take part as a reviewer and then you get a free copy of the guide each year. i have found that to be the most reliable source overall.Is there a dominant online restaurant review website for London?
I agree with a few others - toptable is very good. Loads to choose from and plenty of reviews. I booked a table through them last week and they were very quick to respond and confirm.
Personally, I think this is the best:



http://www.squaremeal.co.uk/



I have used lots of sites, but this is based on member and site owner reviews and I have found them to be very accurate.Is there a dominant online restaurant review website for London?
Try this one:



http://www.verygoodservice.com/going_out鈥?/a>



which lists exclusively award winning restaurants in London
toptable or london eating are always good, though the best one I think is timeout.com/london/restaurants
I find TopTable.co.uk to be pretty good.
