175 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2SB

The famed Aussie chef moved to London a while back and has since been looking for a place to open here. He's settled on a property in Westbourne Grove, looking to run a casual all-day dining space. Expect a similar set-up to his restaurant in Sydney, but with a stronger focus on Asian cuisine.

41 Dean Street, London W1D 4PY

Staffed by folk who previously worked at Hix in Clerkenwell, expect a small menu featuring the group's favourite dishes from around the world, created with seasonal British ingredients. Plus there's "bring your own vynyl" approach which lets you play your own tunes on the turntable.

5 Raphael Street, London SW7 1DL

One of London's stalwarts, this has been a fixture of the Knightsbridge scene for over 15 years. Expect a high-end Japanese dining experience, still some of the best in the Capital, and to be surrounded with the finest of Knightsbridge. And make sure you make the most of the sake sommelier.

10 Bread Street, London EC4M 9AB

Gordon Ramsay opens in the One New Change complex at St Paul's. Expect three distinct sections to the restaurant including a raw bar serving charcuterie and shellfish and a wood-burning oven which won't be doing pizzas.

St Martin's Courtyard, 23 Slingsby Place, London WC2E 9AB

42-43 Dean Street, London W1D 4PZ

Cay Tre in Shoreditch/ Hoxton is felt by many, including Mark Hix, to be the very best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Also owners of the successful Viet Grill, they've been expanding lately - first with the recent Keu, and now with a flagship restaurant right in the centre of Soho. Expect a restaurant with a bright look, to challenge the vogue that contemporary Asian restaurants must be dark and moody, and more of a small-plates approach than the original Cay Tre offered.

136 Upper Richmond Road, London SW15 2SP

9 Camp Road, Wimbledon Common, London SW19 4UN

1st Floor, Design Museum, 28 Shad Thames, London SE1 2YD

37 Hoxton Square, London N1 6NN

Red Dog Saloon is billing itself as 'the most authentic American BBQ restuarant in the capital'. That's fighting talk - particularly as it's not far from Jamie Oliver's Barbecoa - so what do they have to back up this claim? It's all in the pit apparently - the kitchen's hickory and mesquite-burning smoker, which was imported from the American BBQ Company.

6 Maiden Lane, London WC2E 7NA

With everything Norman (and partner Richard Beatty) opens turning to gold, da Polpo is one of the hottest tickets in town. It's a little bigger than Spuntino or Polpetto with room for 70 diners and there's a meatball section on the menu.
