7/1/26 - updated with the opening date and restaurant design

Tattu, the high-end Chinese restaurant with a view on the top of the Now Building, originally started as a group of restaurants in the North. Now the same team behind that are bringing another of their restaurants to London. This time it's the Mediterranean-inspired Fenix. 

Currently only in Manchester, Fenix will be taking over the space that was Henry's on Piccadilly (which closed mid 2024), a fairly big space next to Green Park station. From the plans (as we haven't actually been into Henry's

How Langosteria looks in Milan

It has been a VERY long time coming, but it seems that Langosteria is finally opening at The OWO in Whitehall. Originally planned for

London's pizza scene really exploded in 2025 and 2026 looks like it's off to a similarly strong start with Connie's Pizza. It comes from Andrea Asciuti, the founder of 081 Pizza, based in Peckham and Shoreditch, which has made it onto the Top 50 Pizzas in Europe list. 

Connie's (named after Andrea's wife) will be a little different from 081. As Andrea explains, it's offering up the "UK’s first Bri-talian pizza". That means it will be a London-style crispy pizza, albeit made by Italians. The ingredients will also be very different from your standard pizzeria, too,

A South London brewery that started life in a shed is now working on opening its third tap room. Br3wery, who already have two taprooms in Beckenham, are spreading their wings across to Furzedown.

"We’re excited to announce the opening of our third taproom in Furzedown," they told Hot Dinners. "For the first time, we’re stepping outside the BR3 area to bring our fresh beers to a new neighbourhood.

The move brings the opportunity to double down on current partnerships and bring in new ones. So they'll also serve up wines "from Crystal Palace Wine Club, an exquisite

As we embark on a new year, it's time to look at what 2026 is promising. Here are the new London restaurant openings that we think you need to be keeping an eye on (the ones that have been announced so far, at least).  

Back in October, we brought you the news that the team behind Mr Bao and Daddy Bao were opening Wonton Charlie's in London Fields. But what we didn't know at the time was that there was going to be a secret Cantonese restaurant hidden at the back of it. Cafe Kowloon is just gearing up to open and it's going to serve up a contemporary London spin on Hong Kong dishes. Owners Frank Yeung (whose dad is from Hong Kong) and Abhinav Malde sound like they've got an amazing menu

Chef Jody Williams is taking another crack at London with New York-originated restaurant Buvette (which also has opened in Paris, Tokyo and Seoul). 

The self-style "gastrotheque" will be opening an 80-seater site, taking over what was the old St John Bakery in Neal's Yard (that recently moved across the way). If you've ever visited that space and are wondering just how they're going to fit 80 seats in there, a recent trip to Neal's Yard showed us that they'll also be taking over the

We can't be the only ones hearing American voices literally wherever we are in London. So it's clear there's already going to be a large expat audience for the new American deli opening up at King's Cross. But Tommy's Sandwiches are hoping that their loaded subs are also going to be the kind of sandwich that gets Londoners excited too.

According to owner, Washington native Tommy, he was inspired to open his sandwich shop after missing the big subs back home. "The UK has a sandwich problem," he says. "Sandwiches were invented there, but frankly, the sandwiches there are pretty

Set up just over a year ago, Logma became a big hit, originally running occasional Iranian supperclubs at E5 Bakehouse. It comes from Ziad Halub and his partner Farsin Rabiee, who are bringing their respective cuisines to the table for a unique Iraqi/Iranian mix of dishes. 

Now they've taken the next step and have opened a permanent space in Hackney. It's starting up as a cafe with an aim to open a dining room for their bistro later in the month. They say the plan is to serve up "Iranian + Iraqi homemade comfort food we grew up with, made with organic seasonal

We're only on day two of 2026 and we're already bringing you news of another new pizzeria gearing up to open in London. Weezie's has taken over the old Biscuiteers site in Eccleston Yards, just around the corner from Victoria Station. The people behind it, Will and Abbie Sandbach, already run the Amie Wine Studio which is right next door in the Belgravia development. They're describing Weezie's, which is named after Abbie's grandmother, as a pizza-focused restaurant and wine bar.

On the menu will be a range of thin-crust pizzas in the London/New Haven-style, along with various

Here's one that opened during the pre-Christmas rush, which we're just catching up on now. The original Fred Bakery has been a hit in Holborn ever since opening back in 2021, but now they have a much more central second bakery, just around the corner from Oxford Circus. 

The second Fred has launched on Margaret Street, taking over what used to be a Coco di Mama site. It comes from restaurateur Burak Demirelli, the man behind Italian restaurant Faros (which happens to have its two locations steps from both Fred bakeries). 

As for what you can find here,

They already have a restaurant planned for V&A East to open this year, but Jikoni's Ravinder Bhogal and Nadeem Lalani Nanjuwany now have another opening lined up for 2026. 

Called Karam's, it will be opening in Bloomsbury's Brunswick Centre (in the space where MEATliquor used to be). It's being billed as a new South Asian vegetarian restaurant, which they say "will go back to the food of Ravinder and Nadeem's Indian ancestors" (the restaurant itself is named after Ravinder's grandfather). 

The full menu is yet to be revealed, but we do know

Here are all the new restaurants to look forward to in the coming week. The year has only just begun and we already have two new restaurants opening - a long-awaited follow-up to one of London's best Vietnamese restaurants and a neighbourhood restaurant to watch in Putney.
