New opening

It's been a long time since Andrew Wong has concentrated on anything other than his two-Michelin-starred restaurant A Wong, last opening the short-lived Kym's in Bloomberg Arcade, back in 2018. 

But now he's getting ready to head to Shoreditch, opening Kong in the Nolton Folgate development (where you'll also find Osteria Angelina). For this, he's teamed up with Dishoom co-founder Amar Radia, so they're making quite the power couple. They're calling Kong a "Chinese public house", and it'll be part pub, part Chinese kitchen. The menu is under wraps at the moment, but they

Potentially in time for the next London heatwave, there is some delicious news on the way for fans of icy, nutritious treats: Go Greek Yogurt is crossing the globe to open a site in Mayfair.

The brand already has fans worldwide, with outlets across the US, as well as the Middle East, so you may have already encountered its creations, spanning smoothies to fresh and frozen bowls with myriad toppings plus the occasional special-occasion collab (Greek yoghurt with Meredith Marks Diamond Ossetra Caviar, anyone?).

The company now has a mini empire of self-serve yoghurt bars and

Here's a complete guide to all the new London restaurants that have opened...

All the latest news on every upcoming London restaurant that's going to be opening in the capital. The only Coming Soon list you need.

As longstanding local customers to N5 Kitchen in Highbury, we can personally attest to the happiness that Clerkenwell workers and residents are going to feel when they open there this month. The catering company and cafe have built up a solid business in North London with their breakfasts and lunches, which are great for anyone working from home. Now they're hoping that EC1 folk will fall in love with their offering too.

The duo behind it, founders Milly Wilson and Suzie Bliss, already cater for fashion companies like Jimmy Choo and Mulberry, and decided to open out that amazing

Just like he did with Corner Shop, the super-hyped restaurant and deli at 180 Strand, Nick Jones has managed to soft-launch a whole hotel with relatively little fanfare. St Clement, which is also in the same building as Corner Shop and Soho House, is Jones's gorgeous-looking new hotel.

There's very little official information available about the hotel and its restaurants and bar, so here's what we've gleaned so far. We know that there are 90 rooms and 15 suites, and that the hotel has a pretty amazing view of London from its riverside location. Room rates are apparently starting

Here are all the new restaurants to look forward to in the coming week. This week, Buvette returns to London, Greek and Cypriot cuisine unite in Covent Garden, a female-led wine bar comes to London Bridge and more...

It's been just over two years since chef Florence Knight left Sessions Arts Club, the beautiful-looking restaurant that she helped launch in Clerkenwell. And now the chef is getting ready to make her return to the London dining scene. 

She'll be taking over the rooftop restaurant at Nick Jones' St Clement hotel just off The Strand, called Lunette. But, at the time of writing, that is literally all that we know about the restaurant that will be taking over the 11th floor of the hotel. The chef, who originally started at the late Russell Norman's Polpetto, is known for her

Back in 2022, chef Max de Nahlikl regenerated West Kensington pub The Holland. Now, just half an hour's walk away, he's done the same with Brook Green pub The Bird in Hand. 

While The Holland is "British ingredient-led", Max has taken a different approach with his latest opening, instead going for an Italian/Mediterranean mix of dishes and pizzas. On the smaller plate side, you'll find smoked cod's roe with toasted focaccia and beef carpaccio with crispy kale, walnuts & lemon vinaigrette. On the larger side, there's a whole fish of the day and a pork chop

Anna Higham's Islington bakery Quince is, quite rightly, lauded as one of this city's best bakeries. So the news today that she's getting ready to open her own cafe should make North London residents sit up and pay attention. Clementine will be an all-day cafe, opening up across the road from the bakery serving up brunch and lunch. She's taking over a space that has previously been a pub in various incarnations, but frankly, we can see it working much better in the area as a

As we enter summer properly, there are even more new restaurants to look out for. There's another team-up between Spencer Metzger and Jason Atherton, a huge rooftop opening at Olympia, Claridge's embraces New York for its new restaurant, Adam Byatt goes Italian and lots more...

28/5/26 - updated with soft launch offer

For seven years, Lady of the Grapes has been one of the best wine bars in Covent Garden. Now they're heading to Borough as part of one of the area's best-looking buildings, the Menier Chocolate Factory. The new Lady of the Grapes SE1 will have the same focus on female winemakers as the original, but in a much larger space. Each of the two levels of the bar will have a different approach.

On the ground floor, there will be the main restaurant, seating around 60, with 20 more on the terrace. Like the original in

It's been just over a year since they opened in King's Cross and now Bubala is getting ready to open their fourth restaurant, this time in Covent Garden. They're taking over the space that used to be Lima Cantina for their biggest restaurant yet. 

If you haven't managed to make it along to any of the other Bubalas, here's what you need to know.

They first opened in Spitalfields in 2019, and serve up Middle Eastern-inspired food that's also all vegetarian. They have a few signatures, like the confit potato latkes with toum (a must-have), as well as

The man behind the very successful Lita in Marylebone, Daniel Koukarskikh, is quietly getting ready for his next London opening, but this one is going to be a little different. Mardy's will be a sandwich shop opening in Mayfair. 

Unfortunately, that's pretty much all we've been able to find out about it at this stage. According to job advertisements, they refer to themselves as "a proudly British brand, straightforward, unpretentious, and grumpy about quality." That's backed up with a cartoon campaign featuring their grumpy lead character. 

It's opening in

At the end of last year, Douglas McMaster's Silo shut the doors in Hackney Wick (over Crate Brewery), but now Uncle Hon's BBQ is hoping to take the space over - and he's nearly got his Kickstarter completed. 

Founder Man Hon Luk (who lives in the area) has learned his BBQ know-how the proper way, learning his skills in the home of BBQ, Austin Texas. Since then, he's been popping up all over London and eventually settled down for a long-term residency at All My
