- Test Driving The Guinea Grill - steak and history in Mayfair
This historical hostelry is a must for anyone who likes their steak - Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester - a return visit
It's all change at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester where there's a new Executive Chef at the helm. Jean-Philippe Blondet was previously head chef under Jocelyn Herland who has moved to Le Meurice, before taking up his current position. And as it has been four years since we last tried out lunch here at Michelin's most highly starred establishment in the city (along with Restaurant Gordon Ramsay) we figured it was time for another
... - May Fair Kitchen brings in Nobu manager to oversee Mediterranean makeover
It's all change once more at the May Fair Kitchen which is closing for a do-over of both the space and the menu. The restaurant at the May Fair hotel, which previously operated as a British grill, has gone all continental. They've brought in Amir Jati, the former head of private dining at Nobu to help switch it over to Mediterranean small plates.
Looks-wise, the space sounds like it'll be a lot airier with floor to ceilings windows replacing walls
... - Oisin Rogers takes over at The Guinea Grill in Mayfair
If you've been wondering where Oisin Rogers, London pub manager extraordinaire and key member of our Murphia list, was going to pop up next, then let us enlighten you. Rogers, who ran The Ship in Wandsworth for ages and then last year helped Young's
... - 34 Mayfair launches a new Spring brunch menu
It's been a while since we were last at 34, so we took advantage of being in town over the Easter weekend to try out the Mayfair restaurant's new Spring brunch.
Honestly, we've never had such a hard time trying to choose what to have. Everything on the menu sounded pretty much exactly what you'd want for brunch/Sunday lunch. There's all manner of traditional brunch dishes to choose from - waffles and pancakes, baked egg shakshuka with feta and shrimps or pork and
... - Steak, lobster and whisky on the menu at Hush's Blades
We rather like the sound of Blades - a new dining space at Hush in Mayfair. Housed in their Silver Room, think of it as a private member space that you don't have to be a member to get into.
Blades’ menu revolves around steak, lobster and craft whiskies. On the menu you'll find Cornish lobster served grilled, tempura or Thermidor. You can also pair a half lobster with Rib-Eye, Fillet or Sirloin. The steaks come with Blades’ own Bloody Mary Ketchup, or an array of
... - Helene Darroze launches a special chicken dinner for two on Sundays
There's roast chicken and then there's Hélène Darroze's roast chicken. The Michelin-starred chef has just launched a six-course roast chicken menu for two, Le Poulet du Dimanche, to be served in her restaurant at the Connaught on Sundays.
And it sounds like a cracking menu. You begin with an amuse bouche of confit egg yolk served with leek and smoked bacon, brioche croutons and parmigiano reggiano emulsion, served in a golden egg. This is followed by chicken
... - Test driving Sartoria - Francesco Mazzei's new Savile Row restaurant is a better fit
Franceso Mazzei's new home on Savile Row is an instant hit - serving up some cracking Italian food - Shaun Rankin to open Ormer restaurant at Flemings Mayfair
17/12/15 - Updated with a sneak peek at the restaurant design
Michelin-starred chef Shaun Rankin has unveiled plans to open a restaurant at the Flemings Mayfair hotel. The new restaurant is part of a £14 million refurbishment at the hotel which has been privately owned by the same family for over 40 years. Maybe they've been looking across town at the similarly privately-owned
... - Nobu sushi masterclasses - we take sushi lessons at Nobu London
If you’re a sushi fiend, you’ll know the cravings are likely to strike at any time. You could be sitting at your desk or going from A to B and suddenly you’ll find yourself with a desire for fresh fish, cold, sticky rice and nose-clearing amounts of wasabi. No soggy sandwich or pasta salad can come close. At these times, wouldn't it be nice to whip out your rolling mat and create your own California rolls? With Nobu’s new private sushi masterclass you
... - Ruth Rogers confirms new restaurant at Gagosian Gallery site in Mayfair
So this really is big news. The Standard has landed one hell of a scoop, namely that Ruth Rogers, of River Cafe fame, is opening a new restaurant in Mayfair.
In their piece today she tells the paper that the new restaurant (the first since The River Cafe opened in 1987) will be run by

This was an instant London hit from the moment it held its star-studded party, but the food at Sexy Fish is worthy of its own space in the spotlight
- Sake flights and lobster rolls on the menu at Park Lane's Bar 45
This looks rather fun. It's a Sake flight on the bar menu at Bar 45 at 45 Park Lane hotel. It ties in with the fact that the hotel's head sommelier Vanessa Cinti has just qualified as a sake sommelier.
For £45 (£10 for a single glass) you get a flight of three small producer sakes - Amabuki Marigold brewed with yeast from the blossoms of marigold, Kirin Vintage 2013 and Masuizumi Junmai Daiginjo a special sake aged in barrels of Domaine Ramonet. There's a
... - Sexy Fish brings seafood to Berkeley Square from Richard Caring and Caprice
A Hot Dinners Exclusive (updated with new pics)
Caprice and Richard Caring have been having a pretty good year with the rapturous reception of the revamped Ivy and now they're moving onto a brand new venture, Sexy Fish which is opening on Berkeley Square.
The new restaurant will have an Asian-inspired menu that, of course, will have a strong focus on seafood. It's all
... - House of Crab pops-up on Mayfair's Grosvenor Street
Just opened, very much on the QT in Mayfair is House of Crab, a short-term pop-up by James Chase of Chase distillery and Dominic Jacobs - the folk behind The Running Horse pub in Mayfair. This new seafood spot, where Chalet (aka Princess Diana's favourite restaurant) used to be, will be here until the end of January, after which the building it's in faces demolition.
As the name suggests, the menu focuses on crab, Salcombe crab to be specific which is where
