- Milan's Giannino Dal 1899 opens a London restaurant in Mayfair
Will Giannino Dal 1899 be the restaurant to succeed at this spot in Mayfair? They're hoping that the long lineage of the Milanese original will entice Londoners to try it. - Katsubo is serving up Japanese milk bun burgers at Mayfair's The Lucky Club cocktail bar
We're always in the market for an enticing bar food menu and news reaches of a particularly moreish sounding one in Mayfair.
The Lucky Club is a cocktail bar in the basement of streetwear label The Lucky Club's Davies Street store. Now brothers Louis, George and Jack Hartshorn who run the place have launched Katsubo - a Japanese food offering to go with those drinks.
The short menu features six burgers served up inside soft
... - The Windmill in Mayfair gets a touch of The Guinea Grill magic
If you’re a fan of the steaks, the fish and chips, and the Guinness at Mayfair pub The Guinea Grill (take a number) and often struggle to get a table, then its renowned pub manager Oisin Rogers has revealed that he’s about to spread some of the magic around. - Sabor returns - and there's a brand new look for El Asador upstairs
They've already been open as an alfresco restaurant for the past few weeks - but now Sabor is getting ready to throw open the doors to the actual restaurant.
The much-loved (and Michelin-starred) Spanish restaurant by Nieves Barragan Mohacho and Jose Etura will be opening both floors, but the top floor El Asador is seeing the most changes. Before, that was all about communal dining which, for the near future at least, is not on the cards. So that's
... - Queens of Mayfair will be an artisan coffee shop and events space
Sibling duo Victoria and Grace Sheppard are behind new cafe/events space Queens of Mayfair. They'll be combining their experience in hospitality and interior design respectively for their artisan coffee shop. Victoria was recently running the marketing for UMU & The Greenhouse while Grace project manages interior design projects for high net worth clients at luxury property company Chartwell.
Queens will be open from breakfast through
... - MM Caffe is an alfresco cafe from Mercato Mayfair, just off Oxford Street
They've already achieved a pretty impressive makeover of nearby Grade 1 listed St Mark's and now Mercato Metropolitano have gone outside to Brown Hart Gardens, the raised garden area just in front of the Beaumont Hotel (most recently the Bonnie Gill seafood shack). Their latest opening is
... - Test Driving La Petite Maison - a slice of Nice in Mayfair
London's La Petite Maison is the group's flagship restaurant. As it reopens, with a new oyster bar, we take a look to see why it's still pulling in the crowds.
- Sabor's new Sabor En Casa service is delivering croquetas, tortilla and more to your door
Some London restaurants will clearly need more time to prepare for reopening, particularly when so much of their offering includes counter dining which falls way short of even the new 1m plus rule.
But while they work out their plans some, like Mayfair's Sabor, have ploughed ahead with offerings to bring their restaurants to your home instead.
We've been having serious pangs for the dishes from Nieves Barragan Mohacho and Jose
... - The best food delivery and takeaway restaurants in Central London
While there aren't that many people working in central London during the lockdown, other than key workers, some great restaurants are still delivering to those living in the centre of town. We round up the best. - Le Caprice is closing after 38 years in business
Another casualty of the pandemic/lockdown was revealed at the weekend, with the news that Le Caprice is to close. Once again, Bloomberg's Richard Vines was first with the news.
- Gymkhana is reopening for delivery (alongside Hoppers, Trishna and Brigadiers)
Returning triumphantly in February after recovering from a major fire, the revamped Gymkhana was open for just over a month before being closed again due to the lockdown. But no more - one of the best Indian restaurants in town is gearing up for another reopening.
Like many central London restaurants, they'll be appearing on the Supper website/app and all their classic dishes should be available for home delivery. So if
... - Nobu London is delivering - and that includes their black cod miso
Yes, that's right - it's another re-opening! This time it's the turn of high-end Japanese restaurant Nobu, which is kicking off its new delivery service from today. They'll be on both Deliveroo and Supper, where they'll have a menu featuring Nobu classics. That means yes, you can get their signature dish, Black Cod Miso delivered - but it will cost you £42.50. Ouch. That's the same price it was in the restaurant,
... - Burger & Lobster returns for delivery
Next up on the comeback trail following lockdown is Burger and Lobster. They closed down originally just over a month ago, but now they've reopened their flagship Mayfair store (we're yet to hear if any more are due to open).
Obviously it's for delivery only, and while there's a limited menu on offer, Burger & Lobster has always had a limited menu. Right now it's their original burger (£15), the original 1.25lb
... - Test Driving Benares at Home - the Mayfair Indian restaurant comes to your doorstep
In its normal setting, Benares is a fine-dining twist on Indian food in Mayfair, but how does that translate to an at-home setting? We decided to find out.
- Claridge's hotel reopens to put up NHS workers during the Covid-19 crisis
It's sad to witness any businesses closing their doors during the London lockdown. But seeing landmark hotels, which had remained open throughout both world wars, battening the hatches seemed somehow worse.
So we were thoroughly cheered to see the story in today's Standard about the reopening of Claridge's hotel to NHS workers. The folks at the Maybourne Hotel Group told Hot Dinners they'd "asked the teams across Claridge’s, The
