Mediterranean restaurant Jul's started life in Ibiza in 2018 and the same team also opened Humain restaurant in Athens. Now the team are getting ready to bring Jul's restaurant to London, opening in St James. 

It's opening as part of one of the new developments in the area which, like other recent opening Aki, is inside an ex-bank. The restaurant comes from Chef Christos Fotos, who teamed up with Jem Akyuz, and his son Ilhan to launch this and the original Jul's. In London, the chef is bringing a menu that they're describing as "Greek-inspired yet unmistakably

During a very prolific time for the chef, Jason Atherton's new St James restaurant Sael is looking to add a bit of glamour to St James's Market. We went down to see how his first brand new restaurant of 2024 was shaping up.

The well-known restaurateur who opened The Wolseley, The Delaunay, Brasserie Zedel is opening three restaurants this year and the first of them is something of a remake - as he's taken over the old Le Caprice site in St James. He can't actually call it by its previous name (after all, Caring may be bringing Le Caprice back),

We've heard murmurings of something new coming from Fallow but while we wait to hear about that, they've a new offshoot that's almost next door to their St James restaurant.

Inside St James's Market, they've taken over what was The Beau Brummell, a relatively short-lived pub from Cubitt House. The pop up is called Fowl, and is promising to be a "chicken shop like no other" and in keeping with their

Southern food is making a return to central London - in a somewhat unexpected guise. Americana launched a couple of weeks back, taking over a big ex-Byron site and seems a pretty large restaurant to open with little fanfare. 

It's billed as serving "Authentic Southern American soul food and hospitality" and, in fairness, we'd say it's squarely aimed at the tourist crowd. As for the room

Craving Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice and Antibes? If you feel the need for some Côte d'Azur dining, a new restaurant called Riviera is opening in St James’s Street. It's aiming for luxurious South-of-France vibes alongside high-end dining, something that is somewhat similar in concept to the recently opened Socca.
