• Hawksmoor St Pancras sees the steakhouse taking over The Midland Grand space, and adding the Martini Bar.

  

  Ever since the surprise closure of Victor Garvey at The Midland Grand, there have been rumours about who was going to take over the very impressive dining room next. One of the rumours that we heard most was that Hawksmoor were in talks - and now we have confirmation. Hawksmoor St Pancras will be the group's eighth restaurant in London, and it's

• The Black Cow's Middle Eastern steakhouse arrives at Shoreditch's big new development, The Stage

  

  The Black Cow is something that first opened in Camden's big Hawley Wharf development, but now the Middle Eastern steakhouse is moving to Shoreditch.

  It's from Shiri Kraus and Amir Batito, whose goal was to create an American steakhouse-style grill with Middle Eastern flavours. They also run the extremely well-reviewed Epicurus in Camden, ...

• Björn Frantzén parts ways with Harrods as The Grill on Fifth takes over

  

  Just over two years after the glitzy opening of Björn Frantzén's much-vaunted restaurant at Harrods, the Swedish chef has very quietly closed the doors on that partnership. The announcement was made on Boxing Day on Studio Frantzén's Instagram feed, so understandably most of us missed it. Kudos then to restaurant guide ...

• Flat Iron is opening opposite Victoria Station

  

  Flat Iron continues to be a huge success across town (as you'll know if you ever tried to book one at even close to a peak time). Earlier this year, they opened in Hammersmith, but their latest is much more central, opening right across the road from Victoria Station in the revamped Terminus Place.  

  They've taken over a space that originally held shops (which, having worked in the area,

• Mr Porter steakhouse takes over the lower ground of the Park Lane Hilton

  

  First things first - just in case you're wondering, the mail-order fashion company hasn't decided to open a restaurant business. This Mr Porter is actually a "modern steakhouse" that originates from Amsterdam from the Entourage Group and is opening in the Park Lane Hilton. 

  That particular Hilton has been going through some changes of late. We recently revealed that ...

• KöD head to Soho for their second Danish steakhouse

  

  A year on from opening its restaurant in the City the confusingly-named Danish steakhouse KöD is gearing up to open its second place, this time in the West End.

  They've taken over the site in St Anne's Place that's already hosted two restaurants that were about all things meaty, Zelman Meats and Block Soho. It's one of those spots that no one can seem to make work, so here's hoping for a more positive outcome

• Flat Iron has Hammersmith and Victoria lined up for its next steak restaurants

  

  5/4/24 - Updated with the Hammersmith opening date
