New opening

Back at the beginning of 2025, we brought you news that Big Mamma were getting ready to open in the City. Since then, they've opened Barbarella in Canary Wharf, but now we're finally getting news about what their City plans are going to be. 

First spotted by Propel and confirmed by job listings, the next Big Mamma restaurant will be called Edmondo. And that's not their first restaurant by that name, as they already have an Edmondo in Hamburg. That restaurant happens to be housed in an old bank and while we're not 100% sure what the new Edmondo is taking over (possibly what

Like a lot of Londoners, we've been obsessed with Panadera since it opened. There's something about their ube matcha lattes and sandos that we just can't get enough of. So when we heard that the same team is planning something special for Westfield White City, we paid attention.

Toasteé is the latest opening for Florence Mae Maglanoc of Panadera and Donia, together with chef Adrian Kyle Felipe, and this one is all about French toast and Filipino flavours. There will be three signature toasts: ube jam, matcha ganache and Milo cookies & cream. If you want a classic serve,

London's food scene is having a bit of a thing for frozen yoghurt right now. We've already had the LA company Go Greek Yogurt opening up to huge queues on South Moulton Street. And now the next viral launch looks like it'll be Australia's Yo-Chi, in Notting Hill.

We'll admit, we'd never heard of it, but we could see fans on social media going completely crazy at the thought of being able to get this particular brand of fro yo

They may have recently said goodbye to their head chef at Dorian, but the same team aren't slowing down. They're getting ready to open NAKIMUSHI, which is bringing together the chefs of two popular residencies, Urchin's Yuji Shimokawa Kelly and Robin Kosuge of Robin's Ramen. 

The pair are taking over all three floors of a townhouse near Notting Hill Gate. Inside, the two chefs will each be managing different space. So Robin Kosuge will be heading up the ground-floor ramen bar. On the

We've been aware for a while that Harvey Nichols were planning to sell their OXO Tower restaurants, at the top of one of London's most recognisable landmarks. There had also been rumours that the Aqua Group were looking at the site, but now we know who's really taking it over. It's the team behind Fallow and Roe, who have just announced that they've bought it.

They've previously opened at the foot of an impressive tower over in Canary Wharf with Roe, but this will be the first time the team have gone high-rise. The current OXO Tower restaurants (both the main restaurant and the

Just over a year ago, chefs Brad Carter and Tom Brown teamed up for their upmarket surf-and-turf restaurant Island, opening above Mare Street Market. The food there was certainly impressive, but the massive room never seemed like the perfect fit (the last time we were there, the few diners in that evening were dwarfed by the huge space). 

Now comes the news that Island is on the move, and according to hospitality insider Propel, they're heading

While the bar at Sea Containers, Lyaness by Ryan Chetiyawardana, is one of the very best in London, the restaurant at the hotel has never managed to have the same cut through. But now they're trying something new as they've brought in none other than Gordon Ramsay to launch Gordon Ramsay at Sea Containers.

Gordon's new space will be an all-day restaurant that will also have one of the best riverside terraces in town. Now we have a few more details about what Gordon has planned for the restaurant. He'll be leaning

Change is coming to Broadwick Soho as Monte Carlo's Beefbar has chosen the hotel as its new London home. 

Beefbar has been in London before, of course, having opened as Le Petit Beefbar in Chelsea. That closed in April this year, but they said at the time that they were looking for a new home, and they've found it in Soho.

The restaurant, which originated in Monaco (and has outposts across the world), will be taking over both the ground floor bar and the lower-ground restaurant. Previously known as Dear Jackie (and Bar Jackie), it was originally named after the

This week, London's about to go mad for tiramisu, a popular pizza residency finds a permanent home, new grab & go sushi for Soho and more...

It's been just over two years since chef Florence Knight left Sessions Arts Club, the beautiful-looking restaurant that she helped launch in Clerkenwell. And now the chef is getting ready to make her return to the London dining scene. 

She'll be taking over the rooftop restaurant on the 11th floor of Nick Jones' St Clement hotel just off The Strand, called Lunette. If you thought the opening of Cafe Clement was a big deal, this is several leagues beyond that. 

Food-wise, they haven't told us

The path to London finally getting its first Time Out Market has been a convoluted one. The journey started in East London almost a decade ago, with years of groundwork in Spitalfields which came to nothing after Tower Hamlets Council wouldn't give planning permission and Time Out then flounced.

But now, nearly 10 years after it first mooted the idea, Time Out has confirmed that it will be opening one of its huge markets in London, this time in the heart of the West End. They've taken on the landmark 10 Piccadilly building with the aim of opening the doors there in 2028. For

One of the best paths towards opening a new restaurant is earning a name through residencies, with a recent great example being Hon's BBQ in Hackney Wick. Now, another former residency is making the jump as Doctor Dough Pizza gets ready to open in Chiswick. 

Originally opening as a stall in Hammersmith and since as a residency in Brentford, Sonay Ali (Doctor Dough himself) is opening on Devonshire Road. There, he'll be serving the pizza he's been developing for years. Ali has been

Whatever chef Sertaç Dirik was going to do as a follow-up to his tenure at his family's restaurant Mangal II was always going to be the kind of place to get us excited. And now we know exactly what he's planning. He's opening KID and, crucially, he's chosen a seriously impressive partner to get into bed with, David Carter. Carter, you'll probably know best as the man behind such massive hits as Borough's Oma and Agora, along with Smokestak.

This will be Sertaç's first solo venture, and it's going to see him explore the
