- ‘Local is gospel’ in Parlez, Brockley’s new neighbourhood restaurant
There’s a new neighbourhood restaurant coming to Brockley, and the focus will be firmly on local life, from the digital loyalty cards to the top notch wifi and more.
The restaurant will also double as a bar, with a well-sourced drinks list that’ll be open all week long. It’s good news for Brockley, and should go down well in given the area seldom sees much in the way of new openings.
We’ve been told
... - Louie Louie brings cakes by day and music by night to the Walworth Road
The pre-Christmas period was awash with new restaurant openings, so you'll forgive us if we missed a few out. A Hot Dinners reader brought our attention to Louie Louie which opened on the Walworth Road a week before Christmas. Billed a cafe by day and bar and restaurant by night, the cafe is run by the folk behind popular neighbourhood spot Fowlds Cafe.
During the day it's a
... - Patty & Bun's latest Hackney spot is on Richmond Road
If you've been to Patty & Bun's London Fields spot, then there's the sad news that they're closing up shop there (on 9 Jan) - changing it into a full development kitchen.
BUT there's a new Patty & Bun opening just around the corner. It's a slightly bigger spot but it'll have the same feel to London Fields - big communal tables which can fit in around 50 people (with another 30 outside for when the weather heats

5/1/2017 - updated with new pics
The City of London is the location for one of the biggest openings London has to look forward to in 2017. The Ned hotel, club and restaurants is a joint venture between Soho House and The US hotel Sydell group (who own a string of luxe hotels including New York's Nomad). The building they've taken on is 27 Poultry - an iconic building designed by Sir Edwin 'Ned' Lutyens for whom the venture is named.
The Ned is hard to
... - The Alpha Beta cocktail bar comes to the Modern Pantry with Mr Lyan
There’s a new cocktail bar coming to Finsbury Square, and it sounds worth breaking Dry January for, particularly as the drinks list has bee designed by Mr Lyan, aka Ryan Chetiyawardana who’s been called, among other things, the king of cocktails *and* world’s best bartender.
The Alpha Beta bar takes over the space at the front of the Modern Pantry on Finsbury Square, so it’ll have a handsomely paired bar
... - Naples Pizzeria Trianon bring Quartieri to London, opening in Kilburn
Good news for those who love nothing more than getting stuck into a slice of Margherita. Traditional Napoli pizza, with family recipes almost 100 years old, will be landing in Kilburn this spring, thanks to Naples pizza merchant Pizzeria Trianon Vomero. This pizzeria, one of the best in Naples and hence the world, is opening Quartieri to bring heaps of traditional pizza to Kilburn, and all of it made in an ultra-traditional style - right down to how the flour is
... - Crosstown opens a doughnut and coffee bar in Camden Market
We're delighted with the flurry of openings that are largely sidestepping the whole New Year's resolution thing, and what could be less January than a new doughnut shop? Crosstown, who opened their second doughnuts and coffee bar in Shoreditch late last year, have just opened their third branch in Camden's Stables Markets.
There'll be loads of exciting varieties of deep fried doughnuts to try, including their oft-changing seasonal range. Right now,
... - Parisian brasserie Ferdi comes to London, opening in Mayfair's Shepherd Market
Good news for London fashionistas - Paris restaurant Ferdi, long known as a haunt for designers and models to hang out in, is coming to town. And they're almost ready to open the London branch of their restaurant in Shepherd Market.
If you don't know about the original (and we have to confess, we hadn't heard of it before a reader asked us about it) Ferdi first opened in Paris in 2004. It quickly became a favourite place for fashionable folk to hang out. More

- Monty’s Deli brings a feast of Jewish soul food to Hoxton
They've been a staple at Maltby for a while now, but Monty's Deli are finally making the leap to a permanent spot. Comforting chicken soup, salt beef sandwiches and other essential Jewish soul food will be available at their all-day Jewish diner in Hoxton.
Not only will there be more pastrami, salt beef and pickles than you can shake a stick at, but Monty’s Deli will have a thoroughly traditional vibe with food
... - Study (and eat) baked goods in Chelsea at Bread Ahead's newest school
After launching their first baking school in Borough Market, Bread Ahead will continue its running streak by opening a second school in Chelsea.
The Pavilion Road baking school will run classes throughout the year, like Introduction to French Baking. Meanwhile, at their first school in Borough, there’ll be a helping of new classes on doughnuts, Nordic baking and gluten-free among others. Naturally,

The team from 10 Greek Street and 8 Hoxton Square is bringing a new cafe and wine bar to The Whitechapel Gallery - The Whitechapel Refectory and After Hours.
The whole setup is markedly more casual than its restaurant counterparts, with salads, sandwiches and cakes on the counter, and a menu available for dishes made to order. Choices are set to change more
... - Craft wine bar Pomaio opens on Brick Lane with orange wine, prosciutto and polenta
For the past few years, the craft alcohol market has been all but monopolised by beer, so it’s refreshing news that east London has just seen the opening of a new craft wine bar from two Tuscan brothers. Pomaio will feature wines from small, independent vineyards producing biodynamic, organic wine in the heart of Italy’s wine country.
Not only will there be plenty of classic whites and reds on
