New opening

They're on the verge of opening their second London restaurant, at Victoria Station, but the folks behind Hg (the UK iteration of Honest Greens) are already looking at a second station venue.

Signs have gone up at Crossrail Place for a licensing application and it looks as though they're aiming at taking over two spaces there, so it'll be a decent sized restaurant. And they've already started advertising the new location on their official website.

Unfortunately that's all we know so far other than that you can expect their usual mix of healthy market plates and garden

He's the man behind Zuma, COYA, La Petite Maison and The Arts Club, and now Arjun Waney (who also holds an OBE for his philanthropic work) is getting ready to add a fifth restaurant to that pretty impressive list. 

He's going Italian for the first time with his latest venture Osteria Panzano, and Tuscan in particular. A part of the reason behind that is that Waney has an estate in Tuscany and that's going to be used for some of the produce for this new opening.

On the menu, you'll find regional Tuscan dishes, with things changing seasonally. To start with, there

Here's a complete guide to all the new London restaurants that have opened...

Early last year, the man behind Gura Gura, restaurateur Gobind Chona, opened Oorja on Shaftesbury Avenue. Based on Northern Indian food and a more casual affair than his other place, it must be doing very well because he's opened a second Oorja in Marylebone. 

This second Oorja has taken over the space that was once Xier and, more recently, Santo Remedio, so it's a site that's proved a little tricky to get right. But there's nothing quite like Oorja nearby, so this could be the restaurant to turn that space around. 

The menus in Marylebone will be the same

Fans of the much-loved Lupo Bros cafe in Wimbledon didn't have to spend too long mourning their departure when the lease expired earlier this month. Within weeks, brothers James and Matthew had already opened their new home, Butty & Co, in nearby Southfields.

"Sandwiches done properly" is how they set out their stall. Right now, as they get their kitchen up to full capacity, they're only open for breakfast and lunchtimes, but the food offering does look good. There are all manner of breakfast butties on offer, including a double bacon butty with sausage and tomato and chilli

This week, a very promising Thai-inspired restaurant comes to Farringdon, Bubala arrives in Covent Garden, Solis bring their chicken and steak to a standalone Soho space and more...

Georgian restaurant Aba-Ra opened on Brick Lane back in 2023, and it's clearly been doing well as its founder, Lia Walsh, is getting ready to bring the restaurant to Soho. 

It jumps on a Georgian trend that's doing numbers at the moment, with the success of DakaDaka in Mayfair and Kinkally in Fitzrovia. Soho already has the Georgian Violet's Cafe, but it's sounding like Aba-Ra is going to be a much bigger affair, taking over the space that used to be Inamo. 

They're introducing an open kitchen to the main dining room, where meals will kick off with

In restaurant industry circles, buzz about Ex-Dorchester Grill chef Tom Booton's first solo venture has been steadily building over the last few months. However, we're only just now getting to hear details about what he has planned. Ralphie's (it's named in honour of his dog) will be taking over the old Enoteca Turi space on Pimlico Road.

Billed as a British bistro, we're told it's all about modern takes on British classics. If that sounds somewhat familiar, it's also in the same wheelhouse as Clare Smyth's British bistro Corenucopia, which is literally around the

Back in 2022, Willows opened in Clapham, and it must be doing well, as they're getting ready to open a second restaurant and wine bar in Chelsea. 

They're taking over a site next to the Saatchi Gallery (opening near Cafe Linea), and like the original, ot will be an all-day affair with a particular focus on breakfast and lunch. That's mainly because they have their"smorgasbord concept", which essentially lets you build your own breakfast or lunch platters. So at breakfast, your options range from banana bread with clementine mascarpone to scrambled tofu, seasonal kimchi

After becoming a big hit over at 40Ft Brewery in Walthamstow, Andrew Clarke is bringing Acme Taco to the original 40Ft in Dalston too. 

The second Acme Taco will be landing in the 40Ft Brewery taproom. Of course, this isn't the only Acme operation in Dalston, Acme Fire Cult will be next door, but being so close to it means that the taco range at Dalston will be able to go much bigger than at Walthamstow. 

As with the original, the tacos here are inspired by Clarke's journeys around Ciudad de México, where he learned his taco know-how first-hand by working in some

Jeff Tan, best known for being the man who headed up Hakkasan Mayfair when it first opened in London, is getting ready to open his first solo restaurant in Belgravia.

Called Han & Han, he's taking over the space that was once the site of Michelin-starred Roussillon, launching a restaurant that he says is all about modern Chinese cooking, while also being influenced by classic techniques. Just in case you're wondering, the name refers to the two Hans in his life - his mother’s surname and his own name (his full name is Jeff Seng Han Tan). Think of it as a tribute to family

The London restaurant scene is brutal, and with all the pressures on restaurateurs right now a sub-par performing restaurant can't be left to its own devices for too long. So over on Kensington Church Street, the Wild Group has closed its Greek restaurant Krokodilos, replacing it with the new steakhouse Lucky Grill.

It's a similar formula to what they did with Fantomas on the King's Road, which is now Chelsea Grill. But the size of this restaurant is allowing them to go bigger with pretty much everything. There will be whole ribs of beef, dry-aged before being cooked on a massive

Chophouses are back in vogue, it seems. We've just had the launch of Cloth Cornhill, which takes some of its influences from Simpson's Tavern, the classic chophouse that had been on its site before, and now we're about to get one in the centre of town. But this time it's a little different, as Elezar is being touted as an "Eastern European chophouse".

It's being opened by Misha Zelman, a name that's probably most recognisable as being behind Zelman Meats

Late last year, Islington wine bar Vins closed after eight years in Canonbury. But now a new wine bar is getting ready to emerge in its place, as Conviviale has just opened its doors. 

It comes from Cat Barry, who's new to hospitality, having quit her job in tech a couple of years back, but brings with her a love (and large collection) of wine. Originally from Montreal, "another great city with great nightlife, energy and food scene", her aim is to bring some of that vibe to the local area. 

Starting first with the wine, Cat has long had a love of wine and has
