Soho

After quite the makeover Lavazza's flagship London store has reopened and now boasts a cafe, cocktail bar and restaurant. The store, opposite Liberty, has also brought in various chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants to work on the pastries and dishes they'll be serving up.

Now when you walk through the door you'll find a caffetteria, pasticceria and gastronomia inside. In the first, it'll be

Broadwick Soho is a new luxury hotel about to open in the middle of Soho, with an impressive rooftop bar and terrace. We went in for an exclusive first look. 

Changes are afoot at the Batman-adjacent Park Row restaurant in Soho - where the main space is now becoming The Iceberg Lounge. There was an Iceberg Lounge section of Park Row before, but this was limited to just one of the bars whereas now it'll cover the whole thing (with the exception of the immersive Monarch Theatre).

Big changes are coming to Soho's Michelin-starred SOLA - it's about to become twice the size.

The restaurant has been a fairly compact one to date (the open kitchen itself took up a fair chunk of space), seating only 24 people. The coming changes - the restaurant is closing for two months during the renovation - mean that it's about to get an entirely new

Bébé Bob is the offspring of Bob Bob Ricard which mixes rotisserie chicken and caviar with a bit of that Bob Bob magic. We went down to see how this mini Bob has turned out.  

From the group behind The Wolseley and Brasserie Zedel, Manzi's is a huge seafood restaurant in Soho with occasionally bonkers touches. We went in to try it out. 

A Hot Dinners exclusive

It's been a while since someone stealthily opened an interesting new burger place in London. Back when Hot Dinners first started up we had the likes of MEATliquor popping up in the car park in Peckham and Bleecker landing a pitch on the South Bank. But in an age where everyone has a phone and every restaurant has an Insta account (and extensive marketing plan) not so much.

Somewhat out of nowhere, a new restaurant by Kitty Fisher's is opening - and it's right in the middle of Soho. 

It's all part of the new makeover of the Boulevard Theatre in Soho which is becoming Underbelly Boulevard. That's going to be a new cabaret space, with the first show by Bernie Dieter. The theatre did have a restaurant when it first reopened in

Fans of Bethnal Green's Coupette, get ready - they're coming to Soho.

The new bar will be called Atelier Coupette and, as the name suggests, it'll be a bit different from their original bar. Following on from the Sunday sessions in the Bethnal Green which were more experimental events used to create new cocktails, Atelier Coupette is also going to have an

23/9/23 - Updated with the opening date

It's been almost 15 years since Bob Bob Ricard first opened their restaurant in Soho, with its infamous "press for Champagne" buttons. Since then, the glitzy restaurant has launched a second Bob Bob Ricard in the City, but is returning to Soho for its third opening, Bébé Bob (taking over from what used to be Folie on Golden Square).

It feels like only yesterday we were telling you about Mayfair’s Bocconcino opening a new restaurant on The Strand, but we’ve just heard it has been rescheduled until later in 2024. Hold onto your Bellinis, though, there’s a new

Having played for two London clubs over the course of his career - Crystal Palace and West Ham - we'll presume that footballer José Fonte is pretty well acquainted with the London restaurant scene. Let's hope so as he's just about to open his first restaurant here.

Zócalo in Soho will be the first of several London openings planned by Fonte and his business partners Andre Martin (ex-Zuma and Roka) and Pritesh and

Good news for fans of Wagamama’s Noodle Lab. Having closed in Soho’s Dean St in 2020, citing pandemic business-viability reasons, before resurfacing in Old Street in 2021, it’s back to Soho again, this time to Wagamama’s Great Marlborough St restaurant location.

You’ll consider it worth chasing around town if you’re the kind of person who wants to be first to try the restaurant’s brand-new creations as
