  • Celeb favourite Go Greek Yogurt is heading to London from LA

    Potentially in time for the next London heatwave, there is some delicious news on the way for fans of icy, nutritious treats: Go Greek Yogurt is crossing the globe to open a site in Mayfair.

    The brand already has fans worldwide, with outlets across the US, as well as the Middle East, so you may have already encountered its creations, spanning smoothies to fresh and frozen bowls with myriad toppings plus the occasional special-occasion collab (Greek yoghurt with Meredith Marks Diamond Ossetra Caviar, anyone?).

    The company now has a mini empire of self-serve yoghurt bars and

  • Mardy's sees the man behind Lita opening a sandwich shop in Mayfair

    The man behind the very successful Lita in Marylebone, Daniel Koukarskikh, is quietly getting ready for his next London opening, but this one is going to be a little different. Mardy's will be a sandwich shop opening in Mayfair. 

    Unfortunately, that's pretty much all we've been able to find out about it at this stage. According to job advertisements, they refer to themselves as "a proudly British brand, straightforward, unpretentious, and grumpy about quality." That's backed up with a cartoon campaign featuring their grumpy lead character. 

    It's opening in

  • Test Driving MA/NA in Mayfair, where the Los Mochis team offer up sizzling wagyu and high-end Japanese dishes

    Test Driving MA/NA in Mayfair, where the Los Mochis team offer up sizzling wagyu and high-end Japanese fare

    The team behind Los Mochis have opened a high-end Japanese restaurant in Mayfair, with a big focus on wagyu and Kobe beef. We went down for a first look. 

  • Dante Mayfair takes over as the new permanent Claridge's restaurant

    Since the closure of Davies & Brook back in 2021 after Daniel Humm decided to go vegan, the restaurant at Claridge's has somewhat struggled to find an identity. However, last summer saw the launch of New York's Dante as a pop-up there which really started to get some of the space's mojo back. They must be very pleased with the collab as they've just announced that Dante will now be the permanent restaurant at Claridge's. 

    What this means is that the space that was Claridge's Restaurant has now closed. It will reopen in mid-June as Dante Mayfair with New York restaurateurs

  • Chopped chicken Caesar wraps are coming to London, courtesy of CZER. This is not a drill.

    Updated 10/5/26 with address

    If you're as terminally online as we are, you might have recalled a TikTok earlier this year in which an American expat was bemoaning the lack of good chopped chicken Caesar wraps in London. That got a quarter of a million views, which in turn prompted hospitality folk Mairi and Marius of about-to-launch CZER to think maybe there's a business idea in that.

    As Mairi explained to Hot Dinners, "We first started building the concept for CZER in January after I had a craving for one of these wraps so badly, but they just didn’t seem to

  • Row on 5 chef Spencer Metzger is opening Chez Rose in Mayfair, backed by Jason Atherton

    Ever since Jason Atherton announced that Little Social was closing, we had been hearing murmurings behind the scenes that something was brewing with the site and his top chef, Spencer Metzger. Now it's been revealed, Atherton and Metzger are joining forces once more, this time for Chez Rose. 

    Of course, their first team-up, Row on 5, has already earned two Michelin stars, and although this restaurant will again be led by Metzger, it will be a

  • Mykonos restaurant Nammos sets sail for London for a more urban take

    3/5/26 - updated with the opening date

    A few years back, we reported on the impending arrival of Mykonos restaurant Nammos, which was supposed to be heading to Knightsbridge. Now it turns out that those plans have changed and the restaurant is instead coming to Mayfair. 

    They'll be taking over from Il Borro on Berkeley Street and are planning something subtly different to their Mykonos

  • High-end modern Indian restaurant Trèsind reveals its London opening plans

    1/5/26 - Updated with full details about the opening.

    A modern Indian restaurant that started life in Dubai (before opening in Mumbai too) is coming to London. 

    Trèsind describes itself as a "modernist Indian dining experience", so it's a high-end affair. The Dubai menu features dishes like scarlet prawns crudo and A5 wagyu striploin pathar kebab. However, it seems that they're doing something a little different in London. 

    In Mayfair, it will be a tasting-menu-only affair. Overall, the menu is led by Tresind's Chef Himanshu Saini, while the kitchen in

  • Louis Vuitton have opened a pop-up hotel, cafe and bar in Mayfair

     We love a clever brand activation here at Hot Dinners, and the folks at fashion house Louis Vuitton have been busy over the past few weeks creating a very special pop-up for Londoners. The Louis Vuitton hotel is opening for business today on Berkeley Square and will be open to visitors for the next two months.

    The couturier has used the 130th birthday of the brand's iconic monogram this year as a reason to go big with celebrations. To that end, they've taken over a whole house in Mayfair that used to be home to the private members' club Morton's.

  • The Wolseley Group are opening a hotel (and restaurant) in Mayfair

    It's been a while since The Wolseley Group's last opening, which was The Wolseley City back in 2023. But now they're getting ready to open their first London hotel, and it's going to be part of their brand new Colbert Collection. 

    Called The WestDill Mayfair, the hotel is opening on Piccadilly, in a space that's almost directly opposite The Wolseley (and is somewhere that Jeremy King was once rumoured to be taking over a few years ago). It's

  • Bar Des Pres is on the move (but staying within Mayfair)

    After nearly four years, Bar Des Pres is on the move. It's staying within Mayfair, though, just moving from Albemarle Street to South Audley Street. 

    Taking over the space that was once Socca, this gives Cyril Lignac's restaurant a light-filled corner space. If you went to Socca in the past, you'll see that they've also dramatically changed the room, adding a large counter seating area (which was always one of the highlights of the Albemarle Street location). Meanwhile, the back area of the restaurant, which was always a tricky space to fill given that the main restaurant was

  • Test Driving Maza Mayfair, a Greek party vibe without the plate smashing

    The latest addition to Mayfair's restaurant alley, Bruton Place, is a Greek restaurant offering true hospitality. We visited Maza Mayfair to see why they're already a hit.

  • Igni has ex-Cycene chef Theo Clench taking over the ex-Humo space in Mayfair

    Early last year, Miller Prada left Humo somewhat unexpectedly and the restaurant somewhat struggled since, eventually losing its Michelin star earlier this year. Now the same group is getting ready to relaunch the restaurant as Igni, this time led by ex-Cycene chef Theo Clench. Clench was responsible for getting Cycene its Michelin star, so he'll definitely be looking to get one for Igni too.  

    It doesn't sound like there will be much change to the room itself. Humo was a beautiful restaurant dominated by a long kitchen counter with lots of fire-led cooking and it sounds like that
