Soho

Having just celebrated its 15th birthday, Soho restaurant Bocca di Lupo is still knocking it out of the park. We headed for the counter to see why it's now such an integral part of Soho's restaurant scene.

It isn't often that a restaurant manages to open in the middle of Soho in a fashion that's so completely under the radar we have to wait for a reader to let us know about it. But that's the case with Grasso which threw open its doors on Dean Street just before Christmas. Even rarer, this is a restaurant that's entirely independent and family-owned.

The family in question are the McCaffreys. Seanie runs the restaurant,

Arriving in Soho via Paris, Daroco offers up an Italian menu that's backed up by a very promising basement bar. We went down to try it out.

Changes are afoot at the Batman-adjacent Park Row restaurant in Soho - where the main space is now becoming The Iceberg Lounge. There was an Iceberg Lounge section of Park Row before, but this was limited to just one of the bars whereas now it'll cover the whole thing (with the exception of the immersive Monarch Theatre). 

Delving into the comics and films for just a

A new pub has arrived in Soho with a dream team attached and a very impressive grill restaurant upstairs. We take a proper look around The Devonshire.

Big changes are coming to Soho's Michelin-starred SOLA - it's about to become twice the size.

The restaurant has been a fairly compact one to date (the open kitchen itself took up a fair chunk of space), seating only 24 people. The coming changes - the restaurant is closing for two months during the renovation - mean that it's about to get an entirely new

Bébé Bob is the offspring of Bob Bob Ricard which mixes rotisserie chicken and caviar with a bit of that Bob Bob magic. We went down to see how this mini Bob has turned out.

A Hot Dinners exclusive

It's been a while since someone stealthily opened an interesting new burger place in London. Back when Hot Dinners first started up we had the likes of MEATliquor popping up in the car park in Peckham and Bleecker landing a pitch on the South Bank.
