3 Rochester Walk, Borough Market, London SE1 9AF

Arabica started out at Borough Market, armed with little more than a cool box and began selling a small range of mezze from an 8ft trestle table. The vibe they're going for at their Borough restaurant is 1960s Beirut meets 21st century London.

As with the Dining Room, it's also attached to the old Whitbread brewery, opened as a luxury hotel from Montcalm.

161 Bellenden Road, Peckham, London SE15 4DH

The menu at Artusi changes all the time, chalked up on a wall to salivate over, and it is always hard to choose from. The dishes match the décor – inspired, fresh, no-nonsense. Italian-inspired, pasta is made on-site daily. One day there might be cacio e pepe, and the next pappardelle with merguez sausages. Meat comes from renowned neighbourhood butcher Flock & Herd.

42 Maltby Street Market, SE1

The custard doughnuts at St John's bakery shop at Maltby street are much sought after, but now you'll be able to sit down and devour them on the spot which will be offering "breakfast, lunchtime savouries, fresh baked madeleines & hot chocolate, doughnuts". Plus there will be a wine shop too.

This Notting Hill restaurant is run by chef/patron Rabah Ourrad, an Algerian rapper in Paris who used his time there to hone his culinary skills. He worked at Sketch, the Ledbury and Momo before starting Wormwood with his brother Akli.

8 East Road, Old Street, London N1 6AD

8-9 Hoxton Square, London N1 6NU

252 High Holborn, London WC1V 7EN

The rise of Holborn Dining Room's fortunes is mainly down to the work of their former head chef, Calum Franklin, who made their pies some of the best in London (and also created the Pie Room). Now in charge is chef Liam Fauchard-Newman and while the whole menu deserves praise, you really need to aim for anything pie-related on the menu (there's always a special pie section).

8/9 Lamb Street, Old Spitalfields Market, London E1 6EA

This is the third London opening for the oyster and seafood restaurant, following Soho and Borough Market. Expect a similar offering of seafood and oysters at this Spitalfields location - but with a huge seawater tank into the middle of the restaurant stacked with 10,000 shellfish allowing diners to choose their own live crab, lobster or oysters.

22/23 Liverpool Street, London EC2M 7PD

Of all the burger joints in London, the one that often gets rated the highest is Patty & Bun. So the coming of their second location is a big thing indeed - particularly as it'll be offering takeaway too.

168 Bellenden Road, Peckham, London SE15 4BW

A pioneer of regional Thai food in London, The Begging Bowl couples ingredients sourced from Bangkok with meat and fish from local suppliers.

33 St. James's Street, London SW1A 1HD

This sees Angela Hartnett taking over the site in St James which used to hold Gordon Ramsay's original Petrus restaurant (and where she was Head Chef). Expect "regionally focused dishes, at an accessible price-point, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere – the kind of restaurant I would enjoy eating in every day".

12A Newburgh Street, London, W1F 7RR

Mikael Jonsson wowed many with his first restaurant, Hedone, but being all the way out west in Chiswick and being rather spendy it was never going to be everyone's cup of tea. Jonsson is one of the partners in this wine bar in the middle of Soho which means whatever you drink, you must also order some bread to go with it.

122 Balls Pond Road, London N1 4AE

This is a Vietnamese noodle restaurant offering regional noodle dishes from across Vietnam. The menu is split evenly between noodle soup dishes and vermicelli noodle salads. There will also be a social option to the menu to encourage sharing which will be their take on Vietnamese street food favourites. Plus there's a wine list curated by Borough wines.
