Clap, a restaurant that's inevitably only going to be referred to with a definite article attached, has opened in Dubai, Riyadh and Beirut before landing in London. Referred to as "sensory Japanese dining" (which we're not sure makes it any

We spent an extremely calorific evening trying every single one of the new restaurants opening in the new Dining Hall at Harrods. Here's what you need to know.

Harrods is on something of a roll at the moment with their food and drink offering. From hugely popular pop-ups through to the rooftop launch of Bjorn Frantzen earlier this year, there always seems to be something new happening there. 

And things are about to get even busier. Next on the agenda is a big revamp of the store's Dining Hall, which will be bringing with it four new highly rated chefs. We were already aware of

When you’ve worked at Mayfair’s Novikov it’s fair to say that you've probably dealt with plenty of folk for whom budgeting is an alien concept. That’s the background of duo Salvatore Broccu and Marios Louvaris who are behind Knightsbridge’s next big opening, Geode.

From next month The Berkeley Rooftop Bar will be open to all in the evenings, and it has amazing views over central London. There's a lift to whisk

Perched on the top of Harvey Nichols Knightsbridge, and with its own dedicated lift to boot, the Fifth Floor is just as handy a place to recover from the vigours of shopping as it is a lovely spot in the heart of London to meet up with friends and family.

Open all day, serving everything from breakfast through to cocktails and bites for aperitivo, the cafe will be on the ground floor of the store until the end of the year. The fashion house says the cafe's been inspired by

The Antinori family are arguably the most famous name in Italian wines, so it's fair to expect that their upcoming London restaurant will have a pretty decent wine list. Cantinetta Antinori will be an interesting team-up in Knightsbridge between the Italian winemakers and the Monaco family - the Giraudis - who opened Le Petit Beefbar in London last year.

Update 5/7/24 - This is unfortunately no longer happening.

Are there no limits to the ambition of Harrods' food and drink team? Not content with luring Bjorn Frantzen over this year to open his first UK restaurant, and ...

In a somewhat tantalisingly short bombshell, department store Harrods has declared its next partnership will be with a renowned Japanese chef. Masayoshi Takayama (more commonly known as ‘Masa’) is a bit of a sushi legend, rumoured to have helped kickstart the Los Angeles obsession with sushi when he moved there and opened a restaurant in 1980.
