Restaurant Reviews

68 Regent St, Soho, London W1B 4DY

Alex Dilling (previously at The Greenhouse) is in charge of the main restaurant at Hotel Cafe Royal. He's only serving 34 diners and they're getting an exemplary tasting menu that's all based around a contemporary take on French cuisine. This gives the hotel the destination restaurant that such an iconic London building truly deserved.

4 Whittaker Avenue, Richmond, Surrey TW9 1EH

Scott's is one of London's legendary restaurants and this sees restaurateur Richard Caring finally opening a second restaurant, this time in Richmond. Right beside the Thames, it boasts a room as jaw-dropping as the original and continues the focus on seafood.

Ilona Rose House, Manette Street, London W1D 4AL

The original Milk Beach opened in Queen's Park before opening this second more central restaurant in Soho. It's part of a redevelopment of the area brought about by the launch of the Elizabeth line. As with the original, this features a mix of South-East Asian and Mediterranean cuisine with an occasional Australian flourish.

38 Grosvenor Street, London W1K 4QA

This comes from Samyukta Nair, the restaurateur behind hits like Jamavar and Mimi Mei Fair. This time, there are two restaurants in one. Upstairs, it's all about Japanese food including sushi and a robata grill. Downstairs you'll find Koyn Thai, a high-end Thai restaurant with a fair bit of fire used in the cooking.
