Paris hotspot Homer Lobster is landing in London's Soho

Just over a year ago, the folks behind Parisian seafood spot Homer Lobster popped up for a fortnight on the Southbank. The welcome they got clearly proved to be a good one as they're now back and gearing up to open their first permanent London restaurant. To that end, they've taken over the space that was Calum Best's matcha bar Happiness on D'Arblay Street in Soho, right next door to Crème.

If you haven't made it over to Homer in Paris, let us give you the lowdown. The key dish, as you might expect, is their lobster and crayfish roll. But they also do a nice line in other seafood sarnies, including a crab roll, tuna melt, salmon pastrami and lobster grilled cheese. If you want to go seriously upmarket, they also have their caviar 'briost', which is a toasted brioche bun with cream cheese and French oscietra caviar.

At last year's pop-up, Homer Lobster's founder Moïse Sfez said, “Bringing Homer Lobster to London has always been a dream. This city lives and breathes food, and it understands a truly great sandwich when it sees one."

It'll be interesting to see if they have any new dishes planned for London. As soon as we hear more, we'll let you know.
