London Restaurants - West London
45 Moscow Road, London W2 4AH
This is the follow up to the diminutive Sushi of Shiori. The larger restaurant allows chef Takashi Takag to run a Kaiseki dining experience in an authentic Japanese setting.
304 Uxbridge Road, London W12 7LJ
Bush Hall Dining Rooms is described as "a true neighborhood restaurant". The 70 cover spot is an all day diner, open seven days a week. Family-style dishes will be available at breakfast and for Sunday lunch when they'll serve up roasts with all the trimmings for the head of the table to carve themselves.
17 Vanston Place, London SW6 1AY
Claude Bosi and his brother already have a pub in Wimbledon (the Fox and Grapes) and now they've opened their second in Fulham. This time, they'll be aiming for "modern British pub food" but Fulhamites can expect a stamp of quality as Bosi has enlisted Marcus McGuinness, the former Head Chef of Hibiscus (Bosi's two Michelin starred restaurant in Mayfair), to take over the revamped pub.
5 Regent Street, London NW10 5LG
He's had a big hit with the Mall Tavern and now Jesse Dunford Wood has expanded further to Kensal Green.
Walham Grove, Fulham, London, SW6 1QR
This Michelin-starred pub has The Ledbury's Brett Graham as its director and has built up a stellar reputation over the years as having some of the best pub food in London. They serve British food with a particular focus on game, which happens to come from Graham's farm. Don't miss out on their scotch egg.
94 Church Road, Barnes, London SW13 0DQ
Following on from the success of Kitchen W8 - the last joint venture between restaurateur Rebecca Mascarenhas and chef Philip Howard - the pair have joined forces for a second venture. They've relaunched Sonny’s Restaurant in Barnes as Sonny's Kitchen.
Church Lane, Off Petersham Road, Richmond, Surrey TW10 7AG
Greg Malouf takes over the Michelin starred cafe in Richmond.
227 King Street, London W6 9JT
When the hugely popular pub The Engineer was taken over in Primrose Hill and destined to transform into a chain pub, the locals were up in arms. Primrose Hill's loss has been Hammersmith's gain as the team behind the Engineer has relocated to King Street. Expect well sourced British food, as well as larder products on the bar and a large range of biodynamic wines and real ales.
4 Fulham High Street, London SW6 3LQ
It looks like the trend for American country cooking is set to continue in London as chefs Michael Kirk and Jennifer Ryan - both US natives - are cooking up "simple, seasonal American low country cuisine which encompasses cuisine from the southern wilds of the US from the Carolinas to the Gulf Coast". Highlights include a pinot noir marinated burger.
39 Chepstow Place, London W2 4TS
This Georgian restaurant is centred around wine, which will include choices from Georgia, as well as small, interesting producers from around the world. The food is influenced by both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern tastes.
175 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2SB
The famed Aussie chef moved to London a while back and has since been looking for a place to open here. He's settled on a property in Westbourne Grove, looking to run a casual all-day dining space. Expect a similar set-up to his restaurant in Sydney, but with a stronger focus on Asian cuisine.
157-159 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3LF
Andy Varma was behind the now-closed Vama in Chelsea and has returned to launch this Indian restaurant with an emphasis on sharing plates. The menu is specifically focusing on recipes originating from Lucknow and Hyderabad.
26 Devonshire Road, Chiswick, London W4 2JJ
Nick Gibson, owner of Islington gastropub the Draper's Arms, has a loyal North London following and is aiming to replicate his local gastropub success over in Chiswick. The dining room seats 70 with space for 16 more in the bar and a good-sized garden. Head chef is David Philpot, whose previous experience includes Dean Street Townhouse and Le Caprice, New York.
310 Portobello Road, London W10 5TA
Opening in Shoreditch in late 2009, the original Pizza East brought a new audience to Soho House and much admiration from the critics. This second branch has opened in Ladbroke Grove - while bizarrely keeping the original "Pizza East" name. Expect the favourite pizzas from the original plus a few new ones (with a few portobello mushrooms sprinkled into the mix) as well as some new char-grilled dishes.
115 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UP
El Pirata Detapas is a younger offshoot of a long-established Mayfair tapas restaurant. Reviews so far have been good, but best of all is their set lunch menu deal - with two tapas, bread, alioli and a glass of wine or sherry for just £9. Now that's a bargain.
243 Brompton Road, London SW3 2EP
Knightsbridge stalwart Brasseries St Quentin is reinvented and reopened as the Brompton Bar and Grill. Die-hard fans of the old brasserie might be upset after nearly 30 years of restaurant history was thrown out with the revamp, but there's a lot to recommend the fresh new look and menu it seems.
