- Noodle Inn draws the crowds in Soho with its hand-pulled noodles
If you've been wandering around Soho over the past week or so, you may have wondered what's been drawing crowds down Old Compton Street. Well, we're here to tell you about London's new white hot noodle spot, Noodle Inn.
It's the latest opening from Alex Xu the restaurateur behind Kung-Fu Noodle in Chinatown. And if you like a bit of kitchen theatre when you go out to eat, then this new spot couldn't be
... - Patisserie Lidl is popping up in Soho for London Fashion Week (with its Croissant handbags)
Dubbed the viral bag of the season, the Nik Bentel x Lidl Croissant bag took just two minutes to sell out when it launched a few weeks ago. The American designer, whose previous kooky food bags retailed for hundreds of dollars, made the headlines with his leather bakery bag (made to look like the store's pastry paper bags) and a crescent-shaped leather purse inspired by the supermarket's pastry
... - Chef David Thompson to bring Long Chim pop-up to Hovarda in Soho
In news that should get your Thai-food taste-buds tingling, acclaimed Australian chef David Thompson is bringing a modern Bangkok-inspired menu to London, with the launch of Long Chim. Meaning ‘come and try’, Long Chim currently has outlets in Sydney, Perth and Dubai (and previously in Melbourne and Singapore).
If this is all ringing vague bells for you, we reported a couple of years back that the London Long Chim
- Bébé Bob has brought in Mr Lyan for a cocktail menu with caviar bar snacks
There are so many things right with what we're about to tell you, that our one proviso is that when rushing to book you make sure to leave a table free for us. We loved Bébé Bob when we first visited it, and we've been longtime fans of uber-mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana. The phrase match made in heaven has never sounded so
... - New York's 7th Street Burger is popping up in London
Back in the spring you may recall that Hot Dinners paid a much overdue visit to New York. And one of the things we particularly enjoyed while we were there was a late-night visit to the very popular 7th Street Burger. The smash burger joint was, while we were there, certainly among the best-reviewed
... - Junk is bringing French smash burgers to Soho
On a time when all eyes are on Paris for the Olympics, one French burger company is making its way over to the UK. Junk is getting ready to open a burger bar in Soho (where Wonderland was briefly).
It's not the first French burger brand to try and make a go of it in London, of course. Big Fernand had a few sites around London and are still serving up their French burgers in South Kensington.
... - Michelin-starred SOLA is offering a la carte for the first time
Back in December when Soho restaurant SOLA unveiled its dramatic new look, one of the key new additions was the Bourbon Room lounge and bar downstairs. Now they're using that space to offer diners the chance to pop in and try the restaurant's key dishes on an a la carte basis, rather than

- KöD head to Soho for their second Danish steakhouse
A year on from opening its restaurant in the City the confusingly-named Danish steakhouse KöD is gearing up to open its second place, this time in the West End.
They've taken over the site in St Anne's Place that's already hosted two restaurants that were about all things meaty, Zelman Meats and Block Soho. It's one of those spots that no one can seem to make work, so here's hoping for a more positive outcome
... - Stormzy opens his own bar, the immersive House Party in Soho
One opening that we didn't have on our radar for June was none other than Stormzy opening an immersive bar in Soho, which also serves pizza. But that is exactly what we have with House Party, opening today and taking over the space that was once Milk & Honey.
Sounding not 100% dissimilar to The Little Door bars, it's a doing-what-it-says-on-the-tin place in that it's "modelled
... - CDMX tacos sees Soho getting a Mexico City-style taqueria
Remember last year when Supernova opened its doors in Soho with a seriously pared-back aesthetic and menu, and was an immediate hit? Well, a new place with similar vibes has just opened in the next street to them and are hoping to be an equally runaway success. CDMX Tacos is the name and it's
... - Kanpai Classic comes to London, bringing wagyu yakiniku to Soho
They've been big in Taiwan and China for a couple of decades and now Kanpai Classic is coming to London.
Setting up in Soho, on the refurbished section of Wardour Street beside the old Paul A Young store, the restaurant specialises in yakiniku, which means you'll be getting a portable charcoal cooker at your table. There's a big focus on wagyu (aged a minimum of 40 days)
... - The Devonshire is doing bar food now AND it's opened the roof terrace
Unless you've been hiding under a very capacious rock you'll know that getting a table at The Devonshire in Soho is currently one of the hardest restaurant reservations to secure in London right now.
So we're happy to bring you news of two changes at the pub that have radically enhanced your chances of
... - The Counter comes to Soho, looking to The Aegean for its influences
24/5/24 - updated with the opening date
Are we in the midst of a new trend? With Oma just opened in Borough Market, another Turkish/Greek restaurant is incoming. After opening The Counter in Notting Hill in a relatively low-key manner in 2022, Turkish
... - A Ukrainian cherry liqueur bar, Piana Vyshnia, has just opened in Soho
A very pleasant way to show your support for Ukraine has just arrived in London. Piana Vyshnia is part of a chain of bars that have opened across Europe showcasing one particular spirit from the country, cherry liqueur.
The drink is a popular tipple in Ukraine, with its roots dating back to the 17th century although the first bar in this group opened in Lviv as recently as 2015. Made with cherries and
