Bond has always been know to head out for dinner and a shaken martini to some superb spots, either fictional or real. Matt Sherman has wrote a book about the dining experiences of James Bond, based on extensive research on the 56 Bond novels and 26 films he has gathered a list of 72 restaurants that Bond dined at, and where you can also make a reservation.
