The foodie's bible - but impossible to use
No foodie can be without this book - unfortunately their website is even worse to negotiate. But this book is shamefully appallingly difficult to use. I live in London and the Time Out Guides are just a world apart - so easy to use - plenty of cross referencing with great maps - with brilliant, funny, entertaining long reviews. Why can't the Michelin Guide do it like they do? The Michelin Guide is heavy but small - what's the point in that? It's not pocket size so why make it so small which means you can't have decent descriptions of anywhere in it? Then it's a bit like a rubbish instruction manual with foreign language bits. The maps are terrible - too detailed in some places and then not organised by area in others. There is virtually no cross referencing - so even when you've decided where you want to go it's very difficult to find the page. Of course the reason we get the book is because of the standard of reviewing - but Michelin have got to realise that their customers are fed up with their useless guides. There's only three 3-star places in the country. Why can't a page each be dedicated to their reviews for example? I'd love to know what the Michelin reviewers thought of snail porridge at the fat duck for example. Michelin - you've got to do better for your customers.
