As all our Hot Dinners readers know, our Coming Soon page and the accompanying New Restaurants page are all you'll ever need to keep up to date with the latest openings in town.
Things are changing all the time. We update the page on a regular basis (sometime several times a day) with new (and shifting) dates, new restaurants, soft launch details and loads more.
This is our regular round-up, to make sure you're all aware of the latest updates. As we head into 2014, the first new restaurants are starting to open and loads more rumours are doing the rounds.
So, to kick things off, the first new openings of 2014 (all which opened this past week) included:
- Brooklyn Bowl London - NY bowling & food comes to London and the O2
- Lanes of London - a new Mayfair hotel restaurant with a mash up of food inspired by various foods of London (Indian, Lebanese, Vietnamese, British).
- The Brackenbury in Hammersmith fully opened after a soft launch in December.
- Oslo - this finally opened in Hackney after some building problems pre Christmas, with a menu from Burger Breakout's Dave Ahern
- Canvas by Michael Riemenschneider - a menu made of 15 dishes that you can pull together to various sizes of tasting menus.
- Bones - very under the radar, this one. It's does rotisserie cocktails and more in Dalston.
- And Dirty Bones opened in Kensington offering more gourmet hot-dogs, this time from an ex Fat Duck chef.
See more of all of these in our New Restaurants page.
