Rishim Sachdeva has been popping up with his Tendril restaurant in a couple of spaces, but now he's getting ready to launch the restaurant in its permanent home.
He describes the restaurant as "mostly vegan" and that's coming through in the new name - Tendril (mostly) Vegan Kitchen & Bar. The permanent
... - The Dorchester rooftop bar is reopening with an English country garden makeover
You know it's definitely summer when The Dorchester reopens its rooftop bar. This year the space will bring the English country garden vibes and serve up an all-day brunch menu by the hotel's culinary director Martyn Nail (ex-Claridge's).
Brunch, Dorchester-style, means dishes like caviar, oysters and fruit de mer, grilled Cornish lobster fregola, côte de boeuf and truffle
... - Test Driving Claridge's Restaurant - a new era for the Mayfair hotel's dining scene

- Anya Hindmarch's Ice Cream Project is back - this year's flavours include Branston pickle and petit pois
Last year, the launch of Anya Cafe's ice cream pop-up from Anya Hindmarch caused a bit of a stir. Rather than use plain old flavours like vanilla, they had mayonnaise, ketchup and even Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce.
Well, it proved to be something of a hit (TikTok certainly helped) and now they're back with another helping for
... - Claridge's have reopened their restaurant as... Claridge's Restaurant
It's been almost eighteen months since Claridge's hotel in Mayfair closed their Davies and Brook restaurant following a disagreement with chef Daniel Humm over the direction it was going in (he wanted to go fully vegan, they weren't so sure). Now, very quietly, the hotel has reopened their signature restaurant space.
In charge of things as Head Chef is Coalin Finn. He's was at Davies & Brook as
... - Yannick Alleno is also opening Bar Antoine in London
We've known for some time that multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alleno was opening a top-tier restuarant, Pavyllon, in London (they're apparently deep in soft opening mode right now). But news that he's also going to be running a bar alongside that surprisedlu us today.
Bar Antoine, named after the chef's late son, sounds like it might be just the place to try some of Alleno's cooking, without the

- Sushi Kanesaka brings omakase to 45 Park Lane
We're still a little surprised when it happens but occasionally the odd restaurant does manage to launch in a fairly stealthy fashion. The latest of those is Sushi Kanesaka which is opening at 45 Park Lane, the hotel right opposite The Dorchester.
It comes from top sushi chef Shinji Kanesaka who also has a two-Michelin-starred restaurant by the same name in Tokyo. The London
... - Yannick Alléno is opening Pavyllon London at the Four Seasons on Park Lane
Updated 2/6/23 with the opening date
After a while, all roads lead to London. Chefs across the globe may open their multi-Michelin-starred restaurants wherever they choose, but it does appear that to be considered a truly global culinary star, they need to have a London outpost to cement their reputation. In recent years we've had Scandinavian giants Niklas Ekstedt and Björn

- It's all change for The Dorchester with The Grill by Tom Booton opening
For the past 92 years, the Grill at The Dorchester on Park Lane has been known as just that, The Grill. But now they're ringing in several changes by switching that up to The Grill By Tom Booton, naming it after the restaurant's Executive Chef for the first time.
Booton, who joined the restaurant back in 2019 (he was previously at Alyn Williams), has been hard at work on a brand new

... - Grill 88 serves up luxury surf and turf over at The Biltmore Mayfair
It's been almost a year since chef Jason Atherton announced he was parting ways with The Biltmore Mayfair hotel on Grosvenor Square. Since then the hotel has been running the Cafe Biltmore that he opened there. But now they've got a brand new restaurant to shout about.
Grill 88 is all about surf and turf - so that'll be Lake District Sirloin Steaks alongside Japanese Wagyu ribeyes, Australian full-blood
... - Amethyst in Mayfair is opening Vinum wine bar underneath its restaurant
Back when we first visited Carlo Scotto's restaurant Amethyst, we spotted that there was quite a lovely downstairs bar space. But the exacting chef wanted to get his restaurant operating perfectly before he moved on to working out what to do with that bar.
Now he's about to open
