Test Drives

The people behind The Dairy have opened their new restaurant and bar, Darby's in Vauxhall. We head along to take a look at their fancy new space.

The holder of the best bar in the world for four years and the TA TA Eatery team have joined forces on Old Street. We went down for cocktails, sandos and much more.

Bagels, pretzels, hot dogs and more - we head over to Chelsea to bake our own bread at the Bread Ahead Bakery School. 

The much-anticipated sequel to Bob Bob Ricard has opened in the City with Eric Chavot at the helm. We went to see how the millions have been spent.

The Guinea Grill already has a great reputation for steaks and more grilled meats. But how does that translate to breakfast? We went along to find out. 

With all the food festivals happening around Britain this summer (and there are a LOT of them), it's pretty hard to launch a new one from scratch, and to make it stand out from the crowd. But when you're a Michelin-starred chef with all manner of book and TV deals and a burgeoning restaurant and pub empire, maybe these things just come easier to...

Perfectly situated to catch the summer sun as it falls over Coal Drops Yard at King's Cross, this outside grill is going to be a huge hit.

London restarants serve up countless bottomless brunches every weekend, but some of those stand out more than others. Santo Remedio's bottomless Mexican brunch is one of them. 

It's ten years old and still the only Michelin starred pub in London. We visited the Harwood Arms to try its special anniversary menu.

Maison Bab has created a hidden restaurant in its basement behind a fake kebab shop in its basement. Where everything's served on the counter. It's quite special, so we went down for a look. 

Corbin and King have brought a French grand cafe to St John's Wood. We head up there to see the latest from the master restaurateurs. 

The team behind Quality Chop House, Clipstone and Portland turn to Mayfair and Italy for their fourth restaurant, taking over the space at Bonhams.

Chef Carlo Scotto has a new take on the traditional tasting menu. We went down to Xier in Marylebone to see what the 10-course epic has to offer. 

If you're looking for a lovely place near Victoria for lunch or dinner, that's slightly away from the madding crowds, you couldn't do better than this neighbourhood spot.

The Guinea Grill has been serving up excellent steaks since the 1950s and their reputation is only getting greater. We pop down to put those steaks to the test. 

For almost three decades this French restaurant has been looking after folk on Charlotte Street. We went to see why Pied a Terre has stood the test of time.

Rambla's Victor Garvey is back in the City with his latest Spanish restaurant, Barullo - and this time there's added paella. We head down to try it out.  

Providing a blissful bolthole to weary shoppers - Richard Caring's Caprice Holdings hits the spot once more.

This classic Mayfair restaurant is pure establishment but it's also supremely welcoming to newcomers.

Jackson Boxer (St Leonards) comes to Notting Hill for his next restaurant, a seafood spot influenced by The Hebrides. We head west for a look.
