The City of London

City workers who love a good, meaty lunch will surely by now have encountered Walter and Monty, the street-food-turned-permanent grill experts who live next to the Gherkin. Well, now you'll be able to get your fix after you've left the office for the day too, as they're expanding their operations to include an evening service.

"W&M Nights" will take place from Wednesdays to Fridays

After eight years working for Gordon Ramsay and then as a private chef, Angie Steele has opened her first takeaway spot in the heart of the City.

It’s all change at the top of the Gherkin as Searcys revamp the food and drink offering with a new restaurant, Helix, and a new bar, Iris (with a space open to the public for the first time). 

An intimate new bar at The Ned, the hotel and club from Soho House and the Sydell Group, The Library Bar features a big champagne list and high-end cocktails.

We head to The City to Brigadiers to find out what an Indian Gastropub looks like when it's from the same people as Gymkhana and Hoppers.  

Charred, smoked and grilled is the name of the game at Brigadiers, which will be cooking up all manner of kebabs, chops, tikka and feasting options for hungry City sorts, with a huge selection of beer to wash it all down.

Tucked in off Bishopsgate the Devonshire Club's new chef is bringing a fresh seasonal menu to the table while opening the doors at weekends to non members.

Peruvian in The City

Istanbul bao purveyors BunCo are bringing their take on the bao craze to London, promising non-traditional fillings.

Fenchurch Street is the latest part of the City to get its own poké restaurant and Honi Poké is open from breakfast through to post work sustenance.

Murat Kilic and Pierre Apri have taken some hefty inspiration from the region, but given it a European flavour, meaning Amber's menu is Middle Eastern food, but not as you know it, making it a perfect fit for its high end Piazza Square address.

City hotel the Andaz London Liverpool Street has just opened a public house brewing its own beer and serving up a roast every day of the week

Soho's perenially popular udon noodle bar Koya has expanded to the City. We went along to see how the newer, bigger restaurant was doing.
