Test Drives

Nuno Mendes almost manages to open a new restaurant on the quiet. But once news gets out, this is going to be every bit as hard to get into as Chiltern Firehouse.

This is the second Ceviche from Martin Morales (who's also behind Andina). We head along to see how the ceviches and pisco sours translate to Old Street. 

Bistro Bruno Loubet at the Zetter has been replaced by an extension of the vegetable led (but not meat-free) Grain Store called Grain Store Unleashed. We head down to take a look. 

Carl Clarke, formerly best known for Disco Bistro pop-ups and residencies, has settled down with a permanent fried chicken restaurant with a difference. We head down to try as much as humanly possible. 

Alan Yau unveils his Chinese gastropub concept on Soho's Berwick Street market. We went along to see what on earth that means in practice.

We popped down to the latest instalment of Street Feast last weekend to see how things were playing out. In short - they've managed to cram a lot into a small space. 

Corrigan's is Irish chef Richard Corrigan's flagship restaurant in London. We head to the heart of Mayfair for a Classic Test Drive.

It's the latest Ivy, following hot on the heels of Ivy Market Grill, but this one comes with a huge garden too. We head over for a look.

Elliot's Brett Redman has teamed up with Margaret Crow to bring a new lease of life to this pub in Hackney. We take a look. 

Holland Park restaurant Flat Three is 'taking inspiration from flavours of Japanese, Korean and Scandinavian cultures’. We went to see how that works. 

The latest from Bone Daddies is a long-term pop up with all manner of fun dishes. We popped down to take a look. 

Bo Drake is combining South East Asian cuisine with plenty of BBQ and smoking in Soho. We head along to check it out.
