Joe Allen

The iconic Joe Allen restaurant sits in the heart of theatre-land in both Broadway and the West End and is an exciting dining experience with its infamous 'secret' burger - always available but never on the menu. With the brick walls adorned with posters of classic musical and stage productions you couldn't fail to enjoy the buzz and atmosphere in the subterranean restaurant, whether you've popped in for brunch, lunch, or a pre- or post-theatre dinner, or just a quick drink. This book seeks to celebrate both classic restaurants in one place, to honour the 40th anniversary of the London Joe's and enjoy the unashamedly American food served daily. Collected here are 100 recipes from both restaurants, including the classic hamburger, lobster and crab roll and braised beef brisket sandwich from Broadway and Joe Allen hot dogs, spiced baby back ribs and superfood salad from the West End. Imagery of the two restaurants sits alongside stunning food photography, showing the very best of this classic American institution.
