Originally a big hit in Notting Hill, this is London's second Ria's. As with the original, this Soho outpost has a wine list that's focused on natural wines, while the food is all about deep-dish Detroit-style pizzas.

The team behind Kolamba are also behind ADOH!, a casual Sri Lankan street food restaurant. Named after a Sri Lankan expression of surprise, it focuses on kothu, chopped roti with vegetables, eggs and curry sauce, which is served with crab, chicken, mutton or jackfruit. Other dishes include chilli prawn toast, fried chicken with curry leaf waffle and seafood fried rice, with salted jaggery soft serve for dessert.

The Shaston Arms is the latest project from Patty & Bun founder Joe Grossmann, following the success of The Watermans Arms in Barnes. This new Soho pub takes over the former Shaston Arms site on Ganton Street, keeping the spirit of a classic boozer while adding a stronger dining focus. Chef Sam Andrews (ex-Ducksoup) from The Watermans Arms leads the kitchen once again, creating a menu that blends comforting pub classics with a few refined touches.

Motorino is a follow-up to Stevie Parle's Town. This time, ex-Lita chef Luke Ahearne is at the helm, bringing his Michelin-starred pedigree to a “modern London-Italian” restaurant in Fitzrovia. The design echoes Town’s sleek, retro-futurist aesthetic, with a large bar, open kitchen and private dining rooms. The menu blends Italian tradition and London flair — think agnolotti carbonara, Dexter beef with porcini ketchup, and Amalfi lemon meringue pie. There's a separate bar here with great cocktails too.
