- Kaké by Chisou brings both high-end delivery & a dine-in omakase feast to Chelsea
13/7/20 - updated with info on the dine-in offereing
With delivery becoming bigger than ever, it's not at all surprising that some London restaurants have started catering to the luxury end of the market. Enter Kaké by Chisou - a new high-end option for the Chelsea set.
As a spin-off from Chisou's sushi restaurant, it started as a delivery-only option before getting ready to launch as an

... - Chicama on the King's Road opens early for "terrace dining"
Yesterday the government announced the reopening date for London's restaurants. But it seems that some aren't waiting that long.

- Northern Thai restaurant Talad pops up in Chelsea
It's not often we have an interesting restaurant opening to tell you about down in Chelsea, but new Thai spot Talad seems to be a welcome exception. It's what's being dubbed a 'perma pop-up' so the idea is that owner/chef Natalie Tangsakul has six months to prove herself to the good folk of Chelsea (and her landlord). If she succeeds, she'll get the place permanently.
Certainly it sounds
