Summary: This book is a gem
Review: Although the Amazon text says that the last edition is 1988, I have a copy which was first published in Britain by Sphere Books in 1990 and re printed in 1991.

Since finding my copy in a second hand book shop in Rochester in Kent some years ago (and paying a mere £2 for it) this little gem has travelled to France with us on several occasions.

So far we have not been disappointed, far from it, we have been greatly impressed with the restaurants selected for inclusion in the book.

In our experience the restaurants included are not necessarily the most expensive or most economic just very good in terms of value and quality. We have found eating places which would suit all tastes.

The individual entries are in much the same style as the UK's Good Food Guide. Two or three restaurants per page with name, address, phone number, name of owner, general notes concluding with pros, cons, price level and any special information about days not open etc.

The layout is alphabetic by town/city so you don't need to know the geography of France to find your way around the book.

I am looking for a later version that the one I have, but until I find it my tried and trusted 1991 copy will go with us every time we cross the Channel.
