The Federation of Specialist Restaurants
was founded in 2007 to support restaurants with specialist menus -
mainly ethnic. The FSR was founded by food journalists Peter &
Colleen Grove as a natural progression to The National Dome
Grading Scheme for ethnic restaurants founded in 1992 (see
History)before publications such as Michelin paid much attention to
the sector.
Initially, details of members were featured on
www.menu2menu.com which was founded in 2000 to carry the information
previously contained in four printed guides : The
Real Curry Restaurant Guide ; The
Oriental Restaurant Guide ; The Italian Restaurant Guide ; The Mood
Food Restaurant Guide, all edited by Peter
& Colleen. Such was the interest that by the end of 2007 the
website was receiving over 10 million visitors a year.
   
The FSR dedicated website is a further
refinement to its forerunner and is aimed at promoting and informing
its members and other interested parties.
As well as specific services, news about
restaurants is carried in Mood
Food Magazine . As well as member's
details visitors have access to details of thousands of other
restaurants under review for membership via recommendation or
reputation, market research, recipes and a very useful Chef's Storeroom.
FSR has also created another website for The
Restaurant Hall of Fame to
mark the efforts of restaurateurs, chefs and other people important
to the sector both past and present.
As well as restaurant details you can refer to
the thousands of restaurants under review(Restaurants Under Review
on each County page) for potential membership. These are
restaurants that have been recommended by the public or other bodies.
If you have a restaurant you feel should be
on any of these lists please let us know. (click
