Please follow the directions on your proxy card carefully. If you hold shares in the name of a broker, your ability to vote those shares by telephone or the Internet depends on the voting procedures
used by your broker, as explained below under the question "How Do I Vote if My Broker Holds My Shares in Street Name?" The Florida Business Corporation Act provides that a shareholder may appoint a
proxy by electronic transmission, so we believe that the telephone and Internet voting procedures available to shareholders are valid and consistent with the requirements of applicable law. </FONT></P>

Exchange, on certain "routine" matters, brokerage firms have the authority to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions. The election of directors and the proposal to
ratify the Board's appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors are considered routine matters for this purpose. If your shares are held in the Darden Savings Plan and you do not vote those
shares, the trustee of the plan will vote your shares as described above under the question "How Do I Vote if I Participate in the Darden Savings Plan?" </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>If
you own shares through a bank or broker in street name, you may instruct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares. A "broker non-vote" occurs when the bank or brokerage firm
does not vote your shares on a particular proposal because the proposal is not a routine matter under the New York Stock Exchange rules and you have not provided your broker with voting instructions.
A broker non-vote will have no effect on the proposal to elect directors, because directors are elected based on the actual number of votes cast. A broker non-vote will be
considered a vote "AGAINST" the proposal to ratify the appointment of our independent auditors, because that proposal must be adopted by a majority of the shares present and voting at the meeting. </FONT></P>

<DT><FONT SIZE=2>(1)</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>"Beneficial
ownership" is a technical term defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean more than ownership in the usual sense. Under applicable rules, you beneficially
own our common shares not only if you hold them directly, but also if you indirectly (such as through a relationship, a position as a director or trustee, or a contract or understanding) have or share
the power to vote them, or sell them, or to acquire them within 60&nbsp;days.
<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT><FONT SIZE=2>(2)</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>Several
beneficial owners are not listed in this table because they no longer beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common shares. On January&nbsp;29, 2001, The
Prudential Insurance Company of America filed a Schedule&nbsp;13G/A with the SEC reporting the beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 11,191,242 shares. On February&nbsp;14, 2001, Jennison
Associates L.L.C., which is indirectly controlled by Prudential, filed a Schedule&nbsp;13G with the SEC to report the beneficial ownership of 10,193,000 shares, but noted among other things that it
does not file jointly with Prudential, and that shares reported on the Jennison Schedule&nbsp;13G may also be reported on the Prudential 13G. On May&nbsp;9, 2001, Prudential filed a
Form&nbsp;13F-HR with the SEC reporting that it had investment discretion with respect to only 915,827 of our shares as of March&nbsp;31, 2001, which was substantially below 5% of our
outstanding shares. On May&nbsp;15, 2001, Jennison likewise filed a Form&nbsp;13F-HR with the SEC reporting that it had investment discretion with respect to 5,692,800 of our shares as
of March&nbsp;31, 2001, which was less than 5% of our outstanding shares. In July&nbsp;2001, we confirmed with Prudential and Jennison that the figures reported in the Form&nbsp;13Fs were
correct, and that neither company still beneficially owned in excess of 5% of our outstanding shares. These companies therefore are not reported in the table above. Finally, based on a
Schedule&nbsp;13G/A filed with the SEC on June&nbsp;11, 2001, by FMR Corp., as of May&nbsp;31, 2001, FMR no longer beneficially owned more than 5% of our outstanding common shares.

DO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS CURRENTLY PARTICIPATE IN A DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>No.
None of our executive officers are currently active participants in qualified retirement plans sponsored by the Company. Until May&nbsp;1995, however, the Company, then known as General Mills
Restaurants,&nbsp;Inc., or "GMRI," was a wholly owned subsidiary of General Mills,&nbsp;Inc., and certain executive officers participated in qualified retirement plans sponsored by GMRI or by
General Mills. Mr.&nbsp;Lee participated in GMRI's qualified defined benefit plan until January&nbsp;1, 1989, and from January&nbsp;1, 1989 through January&nbsp;1, 1995, he accrued benefits
under the Supplemental Retirement Plan of General Mills. Prior to January&nbsp;1, 1989, Mr.&nbsp;Sweatt participated in GMRI's qualified defined benefit retirement plan. From January&nbsp;1,
1989 through May&nbsp;31, 1994, Mr.&nbsp;Sweatt accrued benefits under the Supplemental Retirement Plan of General Mills. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Following
our spin-off from General Mills in May&nbsp;1995, the GMRI Retirement Income Plan became our Retirement Income Plan (RIP) to be funded from a pension trust maintained by the
Company (which has not required funding since the spin-off). Liability under the General Mills Supplemental Retirement Plan was transferred to the Company under a Supplemental Pension Plan
(SPP) maintained for this purpose. Under the RIP and SPP, Mr.&nbsp;Lee and Mr.&nbsp;Sweatt will receive estimated annual aggregate benefits at normal retirement (age 65)&nbsp;of $368,448 and
$51,935, respectively. These benefits are fixed, because the officers no longer are participating in the plans. </FONT></P>

<BR>    DOES THE COMPANY HAVE ANY CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes.
As of May&nbsp;27, 2001, we had management continuity agreements with fourteen of our executive officers, including all those named in the Summary Compensation Table. The agreements provide for
severance payments equal to three times the annual compensation of the officer (determined by then-current base salary plus highest cash bonus award during the preceding three years) and
continuation of health and similar benefits for a three-year period if the officer is terminated without Cause or voluntarily terminates employment with Good Reason (as defined in the
agreements) within two years after a change of control of the Company. One year's compensation and continuation of benefits is provided if the officer is terminated without Cause more than two years
after a change of control, or if he or she elects within thirty days after the first anniversary of the change of control to voluntarily terminate employment. The agreements provide for an initial two
year term, and are extended on each annual anniversary date for two years from the anniversary date, unless prior notice is given by the Company that the agreement will not be extended. We also have
entered into related trust agreements to provide for payment of amounts under our non-qualified deferred compensation plans, including the non-employee directors' compensation
plans, the Management and Professional Incentive Plan, FlexComp and the management continuity agreements. Full funding is required in the event of a change of control. </FONT></P>

<BR>    DOES THE COMPANY HAVE SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR EXECUTIVES?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes.
In June&nbsp;1997, we adopted share ownership guidelines for executive management. Under the guidelines, the Chief Executive Officer is to own, within seven years after June&nbsp;1997, common
shares valued at a multiple of four times the CEO's base salary. Other officer guidelines range from a multiple of three times base salary to one-half times base salary, depending on the
level of responsibility in the organization. </FONT></P>

<BR>    DOES THE COMPANY PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR EXECUTIVES TO MEET THEIR SHARE OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes.
To assist executives in meeting the share ownership guidelines, the Company implemented the 1998 Stock Purchase/Loan Program under the 1995 Stock Option and Long-Term Incentive Plan
that provides loans to executives and awards two options for every new share purchased, up to a maximum total share value equal to a designated percentage of the executive's base compensation. The
loan is full recourse and interest bearing, with a maximum loan amount of 75% of the value of the stock purchased. All stock purchased is held on deposit with the Company until the loan </FONT></P>

requirements are met. As of May&nbsp;27, 2001, 72 of our officers have participated in the 1998 Stock Purchase/Loan Program. The program has resulted in the purchase of a total of 227,707
shares by Company officers. The interest rate for a loan under this program is the applicable federal rate for mid-term loans with semi-annual compounding for the month in
which the loan originates. As of May&nbsp;27, 2001, for the executive officers whose indebtedness exceeded $60,000, their maximum outstanding principal balances at any time since the beginning of
fiscal year 2001 were: Mr.&nbsp;Lee, $154,291; Mr.&nbsp;Blum, $114,909; and Mr.&nbsp;Rivera, $135,870. The outstanding principal balances of these loans as of May&nbsp;27, 2001, the last day
of fiscal year 2001, and their applicable interest rates were: Mr.&nbsp;Lee, $154,291 at 6.54%; Mr.&nbsp;Blum, $79,839 at 6.54% and $35,070 at 4.66%; and Mr.&nbsp;Rivera, $135,870 at 5.84%. </FONT></P>

WHAT IS THE MAKEUP OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND WHAT DOES IT DO?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is composed entirely of independent outside directors. The Committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies that govern both
annual compensation and stock ownership programs. The Committee annually certifies corporate performance objectives and evaluates the Company's corporate performance for incentive plans. From time to
time the Committee uses independent consultants to provide it with background information to assist it in performing its duties. </FONT></P>

reward individual, business unit and corporate performance; and </FONT></DD><DT><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>to
align executives' interests with those of shareholders. </FONT></DD></DL>
</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ultimately,
the goal is to maximize the success of the Company. As detailed in the Summary Compensation Table, a significant portion of the Company's pay for executives is variable and is linked to
performance. </FONT></P>

<A NAME="toc_dq1403_4"> </A>
<BR>    WHAT IS THE COMPANY'S GOAL FOR CASH COMPENSATION?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Company's goal for cash compensation is to pay competitive base salaries, with potential incentive bonuses under the Management and Professional Incentive Plan. If individual and corporate or unit
performance is above average compared with the compensation peer group described below, then total cash compensation is intended to be above average within that group. Conversely, if performance is
below average compared with the compensation peer group, then total cash compensation is intended to be below average. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
peer group against which compensation and performance are compared is comprised of publicly traded chain restaurant companies with substantial capitalization. Supplemental pay data is obtained
from hospitality, retail and other general industry companies. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
compensation peer group is a broader group than the S&amp;P Restaurants Index used in the total shareholder return performance graph at the end of this proxy statement. The S&amp;P Restaurants Index is
the only published index for purposes of such comparison, but does not include all appropriate comparable companies for compensation purposes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Company also encourages executives to exchange cash compensation for stock-based compensation. This is discussed below under the question "What Are the Components of Stock-Based Compensation?" </FONT></P>

<BR>    HOW ARE BASE SALARY INCREASES FOR EXECUTIVES DETERMINED?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Base
salary increases, if any, for executive officers are determined annually by the Committee based on the individual performance of the executive officer and the executive's pay relative to the
compensation peer group. The budgeted salary increase for all employees is also considered in determining base salary increases for executive officers. </FONT></P>

based on the impact of the individual's position on overall corporate results as measured by the position, level and base salary of the individual and the degree to which the individual can affect the
results. Awards to executives who also serve as directors are subject to Board approval. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>For
fiscal 2001, the Company's business plan established targets of 16.8% growth in diluted earnings per share (EPS), 12.52% total return on average capital (ROC) and 7.7% growth in sales. As provided
in the MIP, the Committee met on June&nbsp;20, 2001, to evaluate the Company's performance and determine a corporate rating. This rating is based upon diluted EPS growth, ROC actually achieved, and
sales for the 2001 fiscal year compared to the targets approved by the Committee at the inception of the fiscal year. For fiscal 2001, the corporate ratings could range from 0 to 2.0, with a rating of
1.4 if the targets were achieved. With an actual EPS growth of 21.4%, ROC of 13.01% and 8.6% sales growth in fiscal 2001, the Company met the required level of performance for a 1.56 corporate rating,
resulting in the cash bonus and restricted stock awards reported in the Summary Compensation Table. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>For
fiscal 2002, the Committee seeks to encourage continuation of the momentum of significant improvement achieved in fiscal 2001. The fiscal 2002 targets require achievement of aggressive levels of
EPS growth, ROC and sales growth. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Under
the MIP, the Committee may provide for bonuses for special projects. Such an arrangement was made under the MIP with Mr.&nbsp;Sweatt, one of the executive officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table, providing for a special bonus payable in cash and restricted stock in connection with the successful development of the Smokey Bones restaurant concept. During the
two-year project period, portions of his annual MIP bonus were deferred and placed at risk, to be paid with additional cash and a grant of restricted stock upon approval by the Board of
Directors of the Smokey Bones concept for national rollout, or otherwise forfeited. In June&nbsp;2001, the Board approved the Smokey Bones concept for national rollout, and as a result,
Mr.&nbsp;Sweatt received the special bonus in the amount as set forth in note&nbsp;5 to the Summary Compensation Table. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
Committee and management believe that broad and deep employee share ownership effectively facilitates the building of shareholder wealth and aligns the interests of employees with those of the
shareholders. At the end of fiscal 2001, approximately 26% of the Company's outstanding shares were owned either by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan portion of the Darden Savings Plan, or by
employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors, or were subject to options granted to employees and non-employee members of the Board of Directors. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
1995 Stock Option and Long-Term Incentive Plan (1995 Plan) enables the Company to attract and retain able employees with stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units.
Awards are made to employees, including most restaurant managers and salaried personnel meeting minimum service requirements, who are responsible for the growth and sound development of the business
of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Regular
stock options are granted by the Committee to the executive officers and other employees based on their potential impact on corporate results (i.e., the employee's level of responsibility in
the organization) and on their individual performance. During the fiscal year ended May&nbsp;27, 2001, options were granted to a total of 70 officers and 3,440 additional employees under the 1995

executive officers are periodically reviewed against option grants made by other large restaurant, hospitality and retail companies in the compensation peer group previously described. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
1995 Plan permits executives to exchange part of their annual cash incentive payout for a grant of additional stock options. The size of the option grant is based on the amount of the incentive
payout being exchanged and the present value of the stock options to be received. Executive officers may elect to exchange a maximum of 50% of their annual cash incentive payout for a grant of stock
options. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
1995 Plan also authorizes the Committee to make awards to selected employees of restricted stock and restricted stock units in an amount up to 1,500,000 of the 22,200,000 shares presently
authorized under the plan. The Committee determines the number of shares to be awarded, the length of the restricted period, the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the participant, and whether any
other restrictions will be imposed with respect to the awards. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The
majority of restricted shares have been and will be granted as part of the stock matching program for participants in the MIP, which requires the participant to place on deposit a specified number
of common shares owned for shares of restricted stock awarded. The size of each restricted stock award in that program is equal in value to 15%, 30% or 50% (depending on position level) of the
participant's annual cash incentive award. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Currently,
the Company's executive officers participate in FlexComp, the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement. The Company's annual FlexComp contribution equals from
1.5% to 6% (based on Company performance) of the executive's eligible annual earnings. An additional percent of the executive's eligible annual earnings is contributed based on the executive's age
and, if applicable, the years of service during which the executive was covered by a qualified retirement plan. After June&nbsp;25, 2000, new participants receive a FlexComp contribution of 4% per
year in place of the prior age and service contributions. FlexComp participants elect to have their FlexComp contributions credited with rates of return based on several investment alternatives. The
plan does not have a guaranteed retirement benefit. The annual FlexComp contributions made by the Company for the accounts of the five most highly compensated executive officers are shown in the "All
Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table. </FONT></P>

<BR>    WHAT ARE THE BASES FOR THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S COMPENSATION?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>During
fiscal year 2001, the Committee determined the Chief Executive Officer's base salary and stock option grant based on performance and an assessment of competitive market compensation practices
for chief executive officers. The Committee met on June&nbsp;20, 2001, to evaluate the Chief Executive Officer's performance for fiscal 2001, and its evaluation was reported to the independent
directors of the Board. For fiscal 2001, the Compensation Committee performance rating for Mr.&nbsp;Lee resulted in a bonus of $947,700. The rating and resulting bonus for Mr.&nbsp;Lee are based
on various factors, including the Company having exceeded stated financial targets (i.e., EPS, ROC, sales growth, adjusted debt to adjusted capital ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and growth in
operating profit), his commitment to service excellence, his success in continuing to strengthen the organizational structure and depth of management talent, and his success in positioning the
organization for long-term growth, as evidenced by the Board of Directors' approval of the Smokey Bones concept for national rollout. </FONT></P>

<BR>    ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON THE DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION?    <BR></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Yes.
Unless the conditions specified in the regulations under Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code are met, the Company may not be entitled to deduct, for federal income tax purposes,
certain
compensation in excess of $1&nbsp;million per year paid to persons named in the Summary Compensation Table. The Company believes that it meets all requirements for deductibility of executive
compensation. The Company will continue to monitor whether its plans require amendment to continue to meet the deductibility requirements of the tax law without compromising the flexibility needed to
meet the Company's executive compensation goals. </FONT></P>

The Compensation Committee is satisfied that the compensation and long-term incentive plans provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers are structured and
administered to support the Company's business strategy and to create strong linkage and alignment with the long-term best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Committee will
periodically reevaluate these programs to ensure they continue to do so. </FONT></P>
