Test Drive

They're big up North and now the South American rodizio grill has arrived in London. We went to the City to see just how much meat we could eat... 

With so much talent involved in the Outcrop popup at 180 Strand it's not so surprising to find that the net result is wonderful.

Once an Italian cafe and ice-cream factory, it's full circle for this Chatsworth Road spot which is now the Italian-accented Leo's. We headed east to check it out. 

The group behind Clipstone and Portland have opened another restaurant in Fitzrovia with 64 Goodge Street. This time it's all very French indeed. We head down to take a look. 

Boasting great views over central London, the arrival of Richard Corrigan to run this rooftop restaurant at the National Portrait Gallery proves to be a real draw.

Tom Sellers' second restaurant opening of 2023 sees him opening a grand restaurant in Mayfair's hippest new hotel. We head down to see what the Michelin-starred chef has cooked up.

Tucked away on a side street off Old Street roundabout, an old boozer has been given a new lease of life in this chef's table restaurant with its own subterranean cocktail bar.

If you haven't got a trip to the south west booked anytime soon, you can now take an epicurean tour of Cornwall without leaving central London, thanks to a new tasting menu experience at One Aldwych.

Tomos Parry's follow up to his Brat restaurants, Mountain, is a Soho love letter to Spain by way of Wales.

Yannick Alléno is a hugely influential chef in France with multiple Michelin stars to his name. Pavyllon sees him bringing his cooking to London - we went down to try it out. 

Studio Gauthier sees chef Alexis Gauthier bring some of the extremely accomplished (and Michelin-starred) cooking from his Soho restaurant to a more casual affair in Fitzrovia. We went down for a look. 

The Hicce Hart team have expanded just across the road in Islington with Little Pizza Hicce. We went down to check out their very unique pizzas. 

 As this Soho restaurant breaks into the top 40 section of the National Restaurant Awards list we felt it was time for a return visit to Victor Garvey's Californian fine dining spot on Dean Street. 

London has a new cocktail bar that definitely shouldn't be left to the tourists visiting the National Portrait Gallery. We find ourselves very much falling for Larry's.

Bellanger in Islington has just had a lot of work done. We went back to see the brand-new look and also look at how the menu has adapted to a more Mediterranean outlook.
