  • Solis, the chicken & steak restaurant from TA TA Eatery, is going permanent in Soho

    Soho is getting a new chicken and steak restaurant that you'll definitely want to check out. It comes from the team behind TA TA Eatery, but it's also something you might have come across before. 

    There's been a Solis at one of the Arcade food halls in either Battersea or Tottenham Court Road for a while. But now it's the latest from Arcade (following Manna a few weeks back) to go it alone with a completely standalone restaurant. They're taking over a space on Kingly Street that

  • Yauatcha brings in top filmmaker Wong Kar Wai as it closes for a year-long makeover

    It's hard to imagine now, in a city where getting great dim sum is easy, but the arrival of Yauatcha in Soho back in 2004 was a BIG deal. Not only was this an egalitarian effort by Alan Yau of Michelin-starred Hakkasan to put great food on the table at a bargain price, but the place looked completely different to anything else out there. We can remember valiantly trying to find our way into the loos in the stygian dark of the dining room. It was a hit from day one.

    Now, 22 years later, Yauatcha's owners are hoping to give the place a major facelift, and they've chosen an

  • US chain Jersey Mike's is getting ready to flood the UK market with its subs

    Another US chain is on its way over to the UK as Jersey Mike's, a sub shop which has over 3000 stores in America, is coming to London. 

    Jersey Mike's has been running since 1956 and it's all about sandwiches, made in sub rolls and served to-order, with bread baked throughout the day. Their particular USP is that all the meats are sliced as you order. You'll find subs like Mike's Hot Italian (ham, salami, pepperoni, melted provolone cheese) or the Club Supreme (roast beef, turkey, Swiss, Applewood smoked bacon). There are about 30 options on the American menu, so you can

  • Barang no longer planning to go permanent, but you can still try the Cambodian-inspired food in King's Cross

    24/8/26 - Updated with news that the permanent restaurant isn't happening.  

    After hearing news from multiple sources that Barang was getting ready to open a permanent restaurant, it seems that that's no longer happening. The restaurant was supposedly going to be taking on the space that once held Darjeeling Express in Kingly Court, but we're now told that there are currently no plans to open a permanent Barang site. 

    The modern Cambodian-inspired restaurant comes from Tom Geoffrey (previously a chef at Kiln) and has had successful pop-ups over the

  • Professor Green's fast food restaurant Proper Good is coming to London

    Professor Green has always been a bit of a foodie (we've seen his comments pop up on our reels for years) and cemented that by opening PG Proper Good in Glasgow earlier this year. Now he's following that with a second opening in London, right in the middle of Soho. 

    He's taking over a space on Soho Street (one that hasn't been a restaurant before) for the second Proper Good, something that he brought to life with the same team that launched Sides by The Sidemen. Assuming you haven't tried it in Glasgow, it's a fast food restaurant where you build your own meal. Those meals

  • Beefbar has a new London home, taking over Dear Jackie at Broadwick Soho

    Change is coming to Broadwick Soho as Monte Carlo's Beefbar has chosen the hotel as its new London home. 

    Beefbar has been in London before, of course, having opened as Le Petit Beefbar in Chelsea. That closed in April this year, but they said at the time that they were looking for a new home, and they've found it in Soho.

    The restaurant, which originated in Monaco (and has outposts across the world), will be taking over both the ground floor bar and the lower-ground restaurant. Previously known as Dear Jackie (and Bar Jackie), it was originally named after the

  • CZER's chicken Caesar wraps are so popular, they're expanding to Soho

    They're now a fully viral sensation, but earlier in the summer it was Hot Dinners that first brought you the news about a chicken Caesar wrap place opening in London. That's been such a huge success that CZER have already laid down plans for expansion.

    In a reveal on their socials this weekend, co-owner Mairi Livsey told fans that their overwhelming support had made her and business partner Marius confident enough to look for a second place. And they've already found a

  • KID in Soho sees ex-Mangal II chef Sertaç Dirik teaming up with OMA's David Carter

    5/8/26 - updated with the opening date

    Whatever chef Sertaç Dirik was going to do as a follow-up to his tenure at his family's restaurant Mangal II was always going to be the kind of place to get us excited. And now we know exactly what he's planning. He's opening KID and, crucially, he's chosen a seriously impressive partner to get into bed with, David Carter. Carter, you'll probably know best as the man behind such massive hits as Borough's Oma and Agora, along with Smokestak.

    This will be Sertaç's first solo venture, and it's going to see him explore the

  • Bar Douro is taking over the old 10 Greek Street site in Soho and serving up a very rare type of beef

    As the saying goes, when one door closes, another opens. For this story, it's more a case of the same door, just a different restaurant behind it. The door in question is at 10 Greek Street, where just a few weeks ago we learned that the restaurant there was closing. Fast forward three weeks and we can now reveal that this space is going to be the third restaurant for Portuguese group Bar Douro.

    The new opening is like a 10th birthday celebration for the group founded by

  • Dumbo's French smash burgers have found a home in Soho

    A year ago, French burger joint Dumbo arrived in London (from France), opening in a small space in Shoreditch. It quickly became one of the new must-have burgers to try, sitting alongside other crazes like Supernova. 

    Now they're about to open a new Dumbo and this one will be both a lot more central and a little bigger too. They've taken over a site on Berwick Street that's already been known for its burgers, as it used to be the Soho branch of Tommi's Burger Joint. 

    Do not expect any changes to the menu, though. There will still be the very simple menu of a
