Top chef Phil Howard has entered the fresh pasta game with Notto. We went down to Piccadilly to see how it shapes up against London's already pretty great fresh pasta restaurants.   

Alex Dilling at the Hotel Café Royal promises to deliver an elevated Frech dining experience from a lauded chef. We went along to see if the hotel has finally landed a full-on destination restaurant.

But, while we wait for that day to arrive, we can at least take advantage of chef/owner Richard Corrigan's new delivery service. Mr Oyster Boy, which launches this week, will bring a range of dishes from that restaurant (along with

Slowly but surely, London's department stores are beginning to emerge from Lockdown. A few weeks back we had Selfridges reopening their food hall. This morning it's the turn of Piccadilly's Fortnum & Mason.

There's a new restaurant opening in the place of the big ex-TGI Friday's site in Piccadilly - it's Bulgarian chain Happy. They were set up in 1994, have 20 restaurants in Bulgaria and two more in Barcelona
