Marylebone

Luke Farrell has had an impressive string of hits over the past few years, with both Speedboat Bar and Plaza Khao Gaeng becoming hugely popular Thai restaurants. Now the chef is getting ready to launch something new with Yai. 

He's taking on a space in Marylebone that was once Il Baretto, and this latest restaurant will be very different from his previous openings as it's going be a fine dining restaurant (although there's an emphasis on a relaxed approach to that). It'll be particularly focused on the food of Phuket and it also sounds like that'll stretch to the design

It really is the time to launch a new burger bar, it seems. Last week we had a new Bleecker in Camden.This week Dumbo is coming to Soho. And now it's the turn of Manna. 

Up until now, Manna have been behind smash burger bars that have been exclusive to the Arcade Food Halls in Battersea, Soho and Covent Garden. But for the first time, they're going standalone (in

Eight years on from her first stall at Maltby Market, crumble has become a big thing for founder Kim Innes. She's even had the Prince and Princess of Wales in an apron helping out at the brand's Borough stall. And now she's about to open outside of a market (her other London sites are at Spitalfields, Borough and Camden). She's heading into the West End, having chosen St James Street for her new central London shop.

If you haven't been to a Humble Crumble before, the clue is in the name - it's all about crumble in every form. The classic is their most popular, an apple and

It's all change down on the lower ground floor of Selfridges, where the store's Dolly's Cafe is being transformed. Next week it reopens under a new guise, Imagination Café, which will be "an artist-designed hub where art, food and ideas collide." The folk behind the menu are Malik Acid, the brother and sister team of Cameron and Missy Malik-Flynn. Cameron's a drinks man who's worked for BAO and The Standard. Missy is probably best known as the co-founder of perma-hot Soho spot Rita's.

For the Selfridges cafe, the duo have brought in artist Katie Stout, commissioning her to create

Sumi in Notting Hill has been one of London's best sushi restaurants since it opened just over five years ago. And now a follow-up restaurant is incoming, this time to Marylebone. 

The original Sumi was opened by Endo Kazutoshi as part of the Creative Restaurant Group, which also includes Kioku by Endo and IGNI in Mayfair. They refer to Sumi as "the little sister to sushi master Endo Kazutoshi’s eponymous Michelin-starred White City restaurant, Endo at the Rotunda", and it's even named after his mother. 

That's pretty much all that's been revealed about

If you've been wandering around Marylebone recently and wondered what is going to be opening up at the massive Loxton Walk development on Baker Street (Matchado, Le Choux and Melrose & Morgan have already announced they'll be there), then we have big news. The Pachamama Group have earmarked two spaces for new restaurants and we've got the scoop on the first one.

Soraya is actually one of the group's restaurants that they developed outside of London. While they were busy pivoting to the likes of Zephyr,

London's great Med takeover continues as Mour gets ready to open, coming to The Leonard hotel in the space that used to be Seymour's restaurant (we see what they did with the name there). 

Set within a Georgian townhouse, the space here has had a major makeover. And the space also enjoys a feature that makes it stand out from other venues in this part of town, with a covered, hidden courtyard that's part of the restaurant. 

For the food, dishes on the menu are going to range from tataki di seabass with roasted garlic ponzu to brie tortelloni with

Cup of Joy is a coffee shop and bakery that's been a huge success in Istanbul, where it started in Bebek and now has eight locations across the city. And now they're expanding overseas for the first time and heading our way.

Taking over a newly developed site that's right opposite Jikoni in Marylebone, the main event here will be their coffee. Their signature blend features Arabica beans from El Salvador, Brazil and Colombia, which has "tasting notes of dark chocolate, orange and hazelnut". Alongside their coffee, they'll also be featuring rotating guest coffees from around the

Orrery in Marylebone has relaunched under new chef Pierre Minotti, who intends to win it a new Michelin star. We went down to see just how much has changed and how his Michelin hopes are faring.

If there's one thing we love here at Hot Dinners, it's a new Chinese or Japanese bakery. So we're delighted to bring you news of a hot new opening coming to Marylebone soon. Cantoast Bakery have been popping up all over London for the past couple of years. Behind the bakery is talented baker Haydon Wong, whose CV includes time spent at Bao, as a research and development chef at Dumpling Shack and, most recently, as a baker at Forno in Hackney. He's joined by pastry chef Natalie Tj, who's worked at the Hotel Lutetia in Paris and Arome in

Given the success of places like Maset and The Hart, leaving any space empty for a while on Chiltern Street seems crazy. But now, after being empty for a while, the corner space on the intersection of Chiltern and Paddington streets is gearing up to open. It's going to be Clio, and it'll be a modern Greek restaurant.

What's particularly interesting about this place is the people involved. The executive chef is Glen Ballis, who's spent a lot of time in Russia but most recently opened INA in Dubai. For this London opening, he's brought in Louis Korovilas who was previously head chef

Just north of Oxford Street, Marylebone is the place to head for if you need a respite from shopping - but want something a little more casual than Mayfair.

The Langham London brought in classic Knightsbridge restaurant Sale E Pepe to open a seafood branch in their hotel. It was a good idea.

When you already run two Greek delis in London and represent a host of artisanal Greek food producers, then opening a full-blown restaurant is really the next logical step. So that's why ERGON, the group behind the ERGON delis off Regent Street and Westfield London, is about to open Taverna Ermou.

It'll be the first London outpost of a restaurant that they opened in Athens last year. Open all day, the breakfast menu will include koulouri bagels served with eggs, smoked salmon and Greek yoghurt, along with pancakes, cold-pressed smoothies and bougatsa with sweet or savoury

Gordon Ramsay is on a role at the moment, coming off the back of his very successful show Being Gordon Ramsay on Netflix. He's already announced that high high-rise Bread Street Kitchen is opening in May, and now he's revealed that the first Hell's Kitchen in the London is opening the month before. 

This is all part of a team-up with The Clermont Hotel Group and the first result of that will be the arrival of Hell's Kitchen in Marble Arch. 

Opening at The Cumberland Hotel, this will be the first Hell's Kitchen in the
