The City of London

• Sub Cult's award-winning sandwiches get a permanent City spot

  They've been street food legends for five years and now Sub Cult are getting a much-deserved permanent place in the City. With brand new subs along with the classics, this looks like your new City lunch spot. 

• Konditor bring their cakes to The City with a new Bank shop

  

  We'll admit, we're quite partial to a Konditor cake, particularly their wonderful Curly Whirly concoction. And now, after a rebrand (they've dropped the "and Cook") they're heading to Bank for their next shop. 

  And this store will be familiar if you've visited their others, featuring all the celebration cakes you could ever want as well as salted caramel brownies, desserts and more. They'll have ten seats

• The Market is a huge food hall by the YBFs in the City's 22 Bishopsgate building

  The next people to get into the food hall business are The YBF's. They're teaming up with Rhubarb for this huge new food and drink area inside the big 22 Bishopsgate development. 

• Test Driving Bob Bob Cite - a shiny City palace of fine wines and 'country' French cooking

  

  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.

• Bob Bob Cité is coming to the City, and it looks VERY bling

  Soho's iconic restaurant Bob Bob Ricard is opening a second place on the third floor of the Cheesegrater and they've got a top chef to head up the operation

• Test Driving Barullo - a City spot where the paella has the power to transport you

  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.  

• Barullo is Rambla owner Victor Garvey's new city restaurant in Aldgate

  There's a distinct Spanish flavour to restaurateur Victor Garvey's new City gaff which promises to liven things up in Aldgate.

• Test Driving the afternoon tea at Fortnum's Royal Exchange outpost

  Afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason is a British institution. And now they're serving it up in the City too. We pop in to take a look. 

• Test driving Kaia's all-you-can-eat Sunday sushi brunch at The Ned

  Londoners do love an all-you-can-eat brunch and the new sushi one at Kaia at The Ned is a doozy.

• Juno Rooms on Watling Street has two floors of cocktails and food planned for City folk

  Expect a punchy cocktail list and all manner of fun, casual dishes at this new two floored bar and restaurant in the City.

• Gordon Ramsay has launched a space capsule lounge at Bread Street Kitchen

  

  In a "well, we haven't seen anything like THAT before" move, Gordon Ramsay has been tarting up the lounge at his Bread Street Kitchen in The City. Really taking up the idea of a private room up a notch - this little space is designed like a space capsule (albeit a little more comfortable than the spaces that the Apollo astronauts had to put up with).

  It fits up to eight people inside, and inside

• Kym's at the Bloomberg Arcade launches a Grab and Go lunch offering

  

  We're already jealous of the city people who work anywhere near Bloomberg Arcade for having all those lovely places to eat on their shiny, office doorsteps. Now we're even more so at the news that Andrew Wong's Kym's is starting a Grab & Go lunch offering.

  It sounds really good too. There's a choice of Cantonese Crispy Pork Belly, Soy Poached Chicken or Sichuanese Spiced Aubergine - all of which we tried on our Test Drive - and each will

  The Soho bakery sister team are bringing their amazing biskies and more to The Royal Exchange - and they'll be offering a delivery service if you have a birthday cake to order or you just need something sweet delivered to your desk.

• Unimini Japanese and Korean bento boxes to-go come to the City from the people behind CheeMC

  The same people behind Walworth's popular Korean restaurant CheeMC are coming to The City. This time they're bringing a build-your-own Japanese/Korean lunchbox concept. 

• Test Driving Clifford's - a candlelit spot off Fleet Street

  London's legal district has a new subterranean restaurant and bar - we went to check it out.
