Ever since the Galvin Brothers announced that they were closing their rooftop restaurant at the London Hilton on Park Lane after 18 successful years, there was speculation on what was going to take its place. Hot Dinners was originally the first to

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

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

There have been a lot of fancy new Mayfair hotels opening of late, from the Mandarin Oriental to the upcoming Chancery Rosewood on Grosvenor Square. And now another is added to the list, with this one planned as more of a boutique affair.
The Shepherd Mayfair has taken over what used to be the Park Lane Mews Hotel, just off Park Lane and not too far from Shepherd Market

But hasn't Le Caprice already returned, you ask? Well, while ...

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,

The team behind Supernova, Creme and North Audley Canteen know how to make a big splash with their openings. The original Supernova was a massive hit and it looks like their upcoming Mayfair outpost will be

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

Taking over the old Trader Vic's spot downstairs at the Hilton on Park Lane is a shiny new steakhouse Mr Porter. We descended the spiral staircase to check it out.

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.

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.
The pair are behind Atomix, which right now not only boasts two

The last year has seen a fair bit of upheaval over on Pollen Street. First Jason Atherton announced he was turning his Michelin-starred flagship restaurant into burger bar Mary's. That duly opened, with the promise of a full revamp this spring. The revamp didn't happen but what did happen was that Atherton ended up closing the restaurant altogether and selling it to another restaurant group,

Around this time last year, Jason Atherton announced the closure of his (then) flagship restaurant Pollen Street Social. A few months later, in August, that restaurant was given a light do-over and replaced by grill restaurant Mary's.
There were originally plans to completely revamp the place and fully relaunch the restaurant earlier this year, but that never materialised. Now,

Seemingly not happy with having two restaurants in the nearby Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, chef Akira Back already has another hotel restaurant lined up, barely a 15-minute walk away.
This time, it's in the revamped The Montcalm hotel in Mayfair, now renamed Montcalm Mayfair. The restaurant

Tucked down Bruton Place, between the Guinea and Bellamy's you'll find this rather cosy new Mayfair spot. We take a look at what Silva has to offer London's frenetic dining scene.
