This is the official website for The Federation of Specialist Restaurants

HAPPYNEWYEAR

Our motto :
"Scentia est Potentia" - knowledge is power

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 member 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 Member's 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 here)
