Chowfest
Stuffed Agenda

It's so unfair. Starting on Monday those lucky New Yorkers will be enjoying the bi-annual chowfest that is New York Restaurant Week, when 215 shrines to gastronomy, from Nobu to Gramercy Tavern, slash their prices to $24.07 for a three-course set lunch - and some of them even go so far as $35 for a three-course dinner.

No such luck here, of course - although Taste Of London can be fun if you get the hang of it, but it doesn't have quite the same feeling of unbridled abandon does it?

Therefore, it is crucial that when restaurants such as the new Ou Baholyodhin-designed, multi-layered Thai hotspot Benja open, with an introductory discounted menu, you've got to get in there fast.

Now don't kill us, but you've only got two more days to take advantage of cut-price tom som mullet in tamarind and ginger soup or grilled lamb in cha-plu leaves (like betel but nicer) so get you to Soho. Or you could just jump on the next plane to JFK.

Benja
17 Beak Street, W1 - 020 7287 0555
50% off lunch and 25% off dinner (cash only) until Sunday January 21 (incl.)
