• Honest Greens comes to London as hg Soho, a healthy dining restaurant that's big in Europe

  

  A health food restaurant that's opened across Europe is making its UK debut in Soho this month as Hg Soho (known as Honest Greens on the continent).

  It's taking over a space in Soho that's directly opposite Kod (and used to be Good Housekeeping). The restaurant first opened in Barcelona in 2017 and has spread to more European cities since then. They bill the

• Padella hit up Soho for their third restaurant (and yes the beef shin ragu is on the menu)

  

  We can't quite believe it's been 10 years since Padella first roared onto the London restaurant scene. The idea of well-priced, freshly made pasta dishes in a modern setting blew our tiny London minds at the time and set the scene for a perma-queue that pretty much remains at its OG Borough Market restaurant to this day.

  Now the duo behind it, Tim Siadatan and Jordan Frieda (and also co-owners of Islington's Trullo),

• Flat Iron Piccadilly is opening right next door to The Devonshire

  

  In what can only be described as a bold move, the latest Flat Iron steak restaurant is opening in Soho, right next door to its founder's new place, The Devonshire. Flat Iron Piccadilly will throw open the doors to its latest restaurant next year, putting it right beside one of London's most famous pub restaurants, which is as well known for its steak as the pub below is for its Guinness.

• A martini and chips pop-up bar is coming to Soho

  

  We can file this one away as an experience that seems absolutely tailor-made for us. We like chips. We like martinis. So, obviously, a pop-up that combines the two immediately had our attention. 

  Both of these elements are coming together in a special pop-up from Grey Goose vodka, who are opening a two-day pop-up in the heart of Soho called The Grey Goose Chip Shop. Unlike lots of these

• Thai restaurant Khao Bird goes permanent in Soho, opening in an ex adult cinema

  

  24/10/25 - updated with the opening date

  For the past year, Northern Thai restaurant Khao Bird (which originally started life as pop-ups in Brighton) has had a very successful residency above The Globe Tavern in London Bridge. However, now it's time for them to put down permanent roots, and they've chosen Soho for that, in a space that was apparently once Soho's

• TANGRA comes to Soho and it's all about late-night Indo-Chinese cuisine

  

  14/10/25 - updated with the opening date

  Bringing something new to Soho is TANGRA, a new late night Indo-Chinese restaurant on Frith Street. It takes its name from the Tangra neighbourhood of Kolkata, with the menu influenced by the Hakka Chinese community there. 

  Perhaps its most useful feature is that they're looking to cater for the late-night crowd,

• Kiln chef Meedu Saad unveils his plans for a new Soho charcoal grill restaurant Impala

  

  It's been in the planning stages for quite a while, but now ex-Kiln chef Meedu Saad has lined up his solo restaurant.

  Called Impala, named after the car he drove around during summers in Egypt, it's a restaurant with a menu that centres around the charcoal grill, itself right in the middle of the dining room. That space has been designed together with Kiln's Ben Chapman and Dan

• Velvet Taco are bringing their fish & chip tacos to London

  

  Originally due to open in Soho, American taco restaurant Velvet Taco is now heading to the City instead (taking over the old Shoyru site). 

  If you've never thought about putting shepherd's pie or fish and chips in a taco, then you just aren't thinking out of the box enough. Because that's what's going to be on offer when US taco chain Velvet Tacos comes to London. They've picked the UK as the first country to

• Ria's expands to Soho with its mix of Detroit pizzas and natural wine

  

  Since opening in Notting Hill a couple of years ago, Ria's mix of Detroit-style pizzas and natural wine has proved to be a winning formula. So much so that the people behind it, David and Ria Morgan-Ratcliffe, are getting ready to open a follow-up in Soho. 

  Opening just off Carnaby Street, the Soho Ria's will follow a similar approach to the original, although they're describing it as "the older sibling: same DNA, a

• Forza Wine's next stop will be Soho

   

  Following up on their rooftop original and the very successful National Theatre follow-up, Forza Wine are gearing up for their next big launch.

  This time they're opening in Soho, taking over the Daroco site (which, to be honest, we hadn't realised had closed a few months back). That's a big old space and, importantly, has a pretty extensive terrace, something which has proved to be pretty useful at Forza

• Heard heads to Soho with its burgers from a two Michelin-starred chef

  

  18/9/25 - updated with the opening date

  Just six months after he graduated from slinging burgers in a food truck to opening a burger restaurant in Borough, chef Jordan Bailey is already planning an expansion of his burger empire. The chef who won two Michelin stars at his now-closed Irish restaurant Aimsir had a slew of great reviews for his smash burgers at Heard. But now he's expanding both the restaurant and menu with

• Brother Marcus' latest Eastern Med opening sees them taking over Jason Atherton's former Soho home

  

  A few weeks ago, we reported on the team behind Brother Marcus taking over The Blind Pig in Soho for their new bar, Kamara. At the time, as that involved the upstairs area only, we said it seemed likely that downstairs, where Social Eating House

• Test Driving MOI - a breakout star promising a good time (and even better food) in Soho

  

  Soho's restaurant scene just got measurably more interesting with the arrival of hot new Japanese restaurant MOI. We went in for a look at the restaurant, sushi counter and listening bar. 

• Napoli on the Road in Soho will offer London's first pizza tasting menu experience

  

  There are two things that have become very big trends in 2025 - smash burger bars and pizzerias. Napoli on the Road adds another pizzeria to London, but this one is doing something a little differently. 

  It'll be a two-floor approach where upstairs will be a more standard pizzeria, but the downstairs space will feature a tasting menu experience. They say that
