- Mitch and Ben Tonks are taking over the Donovan Bar in Mayfair for the summer
Together they run one of the UK's best seafood restaurants. The only trouble for Londoners is that you have to travel all the way to Devon usually to try their food. But this summer Mitch and Ben Tonks from The Seahorse in Dartmouth are running a three-month residency in Mayfair. The father and son duo's residency is at The Donovan Bar at Brown's Hotel in the heart of town, aimed at bringing their amazing seafood to central
... - Looks like Mazi is coming to Mayfair
It's been over a decade since Mazi opened its doors in Notting Hill. The refined Greek food restaurant by Adrien Carre and Christina Mouratoglou has since spawned sibling establishment Suzi Tros, also in Notting Hill, but it's about to head into central London.
It looks like they're planning to open in the old Pizza Express building opposite The Guinea on Bruton Place. The space, you may remember, was briefly taken over

- Noren sake and sushi bar is taking over the Roji space in Mayfair
We'd been wondering what would happen to Roji omakase bar, since chefs Tamas Naszai and Tomoko Hasegawa moved over to open the excellent Himi in Carnaby - and now we know.
Next door to Chisou in Mayfair, Roji won't be relaunching as an omakase bar. Instead, much like Himi,

... - Top New York bar Dante is popping up in Claridge's for a month
Caffe Dante has had quite a history in New York, having originally been established back in 1915. However, its current iteration launched as Dante back in 2015, and the restaurant and bar have since won heaps of accolades in the decade since.
But if you haven't managed to make it over to New York to check it out, Dante is coming to London instead. It'll be taking over the bar

- Lisa Goodwin-Allen joins The Beaumont, launching new restaurant Rosi
It's been a busy few weeks for Lisa Goodwin-Allen. She rejoined Northcote after making a surprise departure announcement just two months ago (being sold to new owners helped with that), and now she's also getting ready to open a new restaurant at The Beaumont, called Rosi.
It's not her first London hotel, of course, as she was in charge of the menu at The Game Bird at The Stafford
... - Test Driving Row on 5, Jason Atherton's flagship restaurant which deserves the second star it's chasing
Jason Atherton's new flagship restaurant is Row on 5 on Savile Row, which earned a Michelin star in almost record time. We went in to try it out and left thinking a second star seems all but inevitable.
- Supernova are bringing their burgers to Mayfair
When they opened in Soho last year, Supernova were an instant hit. It certainly helped that they carefully cultivated scarcity by only opening at certain days and times to start with. That meant that queues built up quickly and soon one of their burgers became the thing to try.
It was also right at the forefront of the smash burger revolution that's continued ever since, and saw rivals
... - The Los Mochis team head to Mayfair with a brand new restaurant concept
Mayfair residents wondering what's happening over at the old Ruya site on Upper Grosvenor Street, next to Corrigan's, should know that they'll have a new restaurant on their doorstep before the end of the year. Turns out that it's been bought by the Thesleff Group which is behind Los Mochis in Notting Hill, Sale e Pepe in Knightsbridge and the Juno and Luna omakase restaurants.
Right now, we don't
... - Atomix chef Junghyun Park is opening Kiji Korean BBQ in the heart of Mayfair
Well this IS a story. If you've been roaming through Mayfair recently and wondered what's happening with the building site on the corner of Curzon Street and Bolton Street (where Mirabelle used to be), then we have big news for you. It's going to be the first UK restaurant from acclaimed New York restaurant duo Ellia and Junghyun Park.
