Our regular weekly guide to what to expect from the week ahead in London, with the restaurants, bars and more opening their doors across town. This week, a new food court opens in Paddington, Trullo heads to Knightsbridge and Kricket starts breakfast in Shoreditch.
Market Halls
Paddington - 1 Paddington Square, London W2 1DL
The next Market Halls food court arrives in Paddington bringing along with it some brand new offerings. They include the South American-inspired From the Ashes Parrilla and souvlaki wraps and gyros bowls from Souvlaki by Opso. Alongside those are old favourites like BAO Night Market and Roti King's Gopal's Corner.
Opening date: 4 March 2025
Trullo at Harvey Nichols
Knightsbridge - 109-125 Knightsbridge, London SW1X 7RJ
For the first time (and starting while their restaurant has a light refurb), Trullo is kicking off a big residency. The hugely popular Islington restaurant, originally related to Padella, is popping up on The Fifth Floor at Harvey Nichols. They'll be serving up some of their signature dishes along with some slightly more upmarket variations like tagliarini with Beluga caviar.
When: Starting 3 March 2024, for three months
Kricket
Shoreditch - 36 Charlotte Rd, London EC2A 3PG
The latest branch of the popular Indian-inspired restaurant is in Shoreditch (taking over from Apothecary East). While you'll find their standard menu here (and a bar space), they're also launching breakfast for the first time. That will include dishes like a jaggery-glazed bacon chop with Andhra spiced hash brown and tamarind brown sauce.
Opening date: 4 March 2025
Officina 00
Covent Garden - 36 Charlotte Rd, London EC2A 3PG
They already have popular restaurants on Old Street and in Fitzrovia, and now Officina 00 are going even more central for their next restaurant. Mainly an artisanal pasta restaurant (and pasta workshop), they're also trying something else at this new location - pizza. Called "Nonna's pizza", it will be their take on traditional pizza in rutiello, served in a pan at the table.
Opening date: 4 March 2025
