Would like to experiencing this 1st hand however only experience I'm having is a problem trying to access £20 off offer as it throws me out at payment option..?

The first time I tried to use my card was at Turquoise which is in the restaurant book thing, I got there and the place had shut down!!! what a disaster.
The following week I decided to give it another go and made sure I checked the Taste London website (it seems there are some number of restaurants in the book that are no longer) i decided on Ooops Restaurant as it's not far from my work it's 50% OFF the food and there were 4 of us, amazingly, we saved nearly £70. Oops is a real gem of a restaurant, high end mediterainean food without pretension and I will ceratinly be going back with my card lot's.
After a faltering start (initially i thought I had been conned) I can safely say that my Taste London card has become a treasured possesion, it really is a great idea. Well done Time Out!!!

i have to say that i think my taselondon card is one of the best investments that i could have made. i have been a member for a year now and will deffo be renewing when my card expires! i make an average saving of about £30 - £50 every time i eat out using it. the offers on Top Table are all very well and good but they usually only give you about a 15% discount and are not available all of the time unlike tastelondon's. A word from the wise..... get a tastelondon card you will save £100's over your membership!

Bought one just because 3 monkeys is on!!! My all time favourite restaurant - and now 1/2 Price for me...cool!

Malmaison is worth a visit, sometimes it can be rather quiet but it still doesn't lack an atmosphere. The food is exceptional and with the tastelondon discount its really quite cheap! It's exactly the type of place to take your g/f for a quiet romantic meal with your card.

Went to Artisan Restaurant (based in the The Westbury Mayfair Hotel) and I have to say it is very much equal to many Michelin starred restaurants that I have visited - to get 50% OFF with the Taste London card really is astonishing value. I would recommend buying a card just to use once at at this restaurant - there were 4 of us, and we probably saved well over £100!

Although I was initially drawn to taste london because of the fact that they have 500 restaurants, on closer inspection a lot of those are Slug and Lettuce / spagetti house and loads of poor quality restaurants. I bought a Treat Card recently and just used it at Benares (michelin starred indian restaurant). Although only a 25% discount on the total bill I still saved £65! So worth having a look!

In oz we have the entertainment card - a similar concept with the addition of helping charities. We're coming to london later in the year and looking out for cheap stuff. If anyone can make suggestions we'd love to hear about them...

I used my TaseLondon card for the first time last week with my hubby and a few friends, unbelievably saving over £150 accross the dinig party of 4 at Artisan in the the Westbury. I really can't recommend TasteLondon enough, I have certainly got the bug and can't wait to use it again asap.

I would really recommend Green Chilli in Hammersmith to everybody who has a tastelondon card (or even ones without)!!! The food is out of this world. And it's 50% off for groups, we dined as a table of 6 and saved a fortune - a real gem of a restaurant for curry lovers.

I can't be certain but I'm guessing the below comment isn't genuine at all!!!!!
I've been a member of tastelondon for 2 years. They have 500 restaurants on and you get a directory of restaurants with the scheme. I've looked at this Treat Card and they have about 80 restaurants on and from what I can see they are things like 15% off - why not just use toptable if you're going to opt for that and save £50? At least with tastelondon they are all half price offers not some badged up costly version of a free to use website.

I had a look at both Taste London and Treat Card. Both are similar but I opted for Treat because of the 2 for 1 tickets at Jongleurs comedy clubs and some of their "lifestyle offers". They seem to have most of the restaurants that Taste have. So far in the last months I have used my card 4 times and saved a total of £190!

I bought a card last year, if you make a real effort to use it often the savings over the year really are quite staggering when you work it out.
It's worth paying the money for such an extensive range of restaurants that (unbelievably) offer 50% off.
I would deffo recommend!

This scheme really is good, what a great concept. Went to Bacchus last week and saved £105 with my tastelondon card - when I signed up I was expecting it to be too good to be true, but so far I am more than satisied.

The only problem with the TT 1/2 Price deals is that you seem to always be presented with a special menu (I am guesing the portions are smaller too). With taste you can order from the full menu. Also 50% deals are not often avaiable through TT on a weekend also.
And the choice is very small in comparison to tastelondon.
I personally think they are both really great ways to dine in London and I often use both, so I don't think it's a case of 'one or the other'.
I'm a real advocate of tastelondon, they are a really 'nice company' to deal with too.
