- Corazon is a Mexican taqueria opening on Soho's Poland Street
24/11/16 - updated with soft launch details.
London may be down one Mexican joint with the closure of Santa Remedio, but come November there'll be a new taqueria to boost our spirits. Corazón is opening in Soho on Poland Street (taking over the spot where Posini's used to be). So if you're after casual, comfort food with a kick, this is where you'll need to be. Expect to be mesmerised by watching all their homemade tortillas being freshly made in front of
... - Emilia's Crafted Pasta bar prepares to open at St Katharine Dock
23/11/16 - updated with soft launch info
Does London have room for two places serving up freshly rolled pasta? Given the permanent queues outside Padella, one would think so. All of which is good news for newcomer Emilia’s Crafted Pasta which is opening next month at St Katharine's Dock.
The restaurant's founder Andrew Macleod’s says he wants this to be the best pasta restaurant outside of Italy. To that end, every bit of pasta in the place
... - Neighbourhood restaurant The Juniper Tree to open in Belsize Park
Tuck into classic British dishes made with organic ingredients in the cozy north London haven of Belsize Park this winter when the Juniper Tree opens.

... - Pastries, matcha and much more from Japanese cafe Kova
East Asian-style cakes, crepes and pastries will be now readily available in central Soho now that Kova Patisserie, a Japanese cafe, has opened its doors.

... - Tandoor Chop House is coming to Covent Garden
The latest from the people behind Eggbreak in Notting Hill is coming to Covent Garden next week. They're launching Tandoor Chop House which, as the name suggests, is a cross between a British chop house and a North Indian "communal eatery".
Much of the cooking will be based around their three big tandoor ovens which will be the focus of the room. From those, you can expect:
- Tandoori masala chicken - half corn
- Chop and Chip go permanent at Camden Market
We have more news of a street trader going permanent - this time it's the turn of Chop and Chip who will be settling down in Camden Market.
They've been taking their van up and down the country and now are setting down in Camden market with their pretty easy to grasp menu. Either have The Flock (two lamb chops) or The Porky (one large pork chop) and then choose a seasoning on top of that from the milder - lemon and herb and
... - Burgers beer and more - Lockhouse brings plenty of choice to Paddington this Dec
Paddington’s Merchant Square will be welcoming in a new restaurant just in time for Christmas. The Lockhouse will be offering drinking and dining with a focus on craft beer on tap, and a menu that’s big on choice.
On the food menu, there’ll be lots of burgers, including the Hot House that comes with a generous serving of sriracha, plus New York deli-style sandwiches and ‘Jam Jar’ salads,
... - South African barbecue Hammer and Tongs lands on Farringdon Road
A taste of South African barbecue, Hammer and Tongs, is coming to Farringdon Road with a braai grill that’s a whopping 3m in size, and a menu bursting with local ingredients.
We’re not going to lie - it’s rare we need to run to Google *quite* so many times when looking at a menu, but Hammer & Tongs gave us a run for our money, highlighting how woefully under-represented South African food is in London.
... - Barrafina Dean Street to feature Frith Street favourites on menu
A ripple of excitement goes through the London food scene when a new Barrafina opens. So we confidently predict a positive reaction to news that the new one on Dean Street is about to open.
Taking over much of what used to be the main restaurant at Quo Vadis, Barrafina Dean Street came about when the restaurant was given notice on its Frith Street site.
The key information you'll be wanting to know is how many stools are there? Well the new one

We were pretty excited last month by the news that superlative fruit and veg folk Natoora had opened a space in Selfridges, but they've gone one step further this week, opening their own standalone shop in Sloane Square. It's the second store for the company (they already have a store in Chiswick and a stall down near Maltby) but it's their first in central London and

... - USA's cheap-and-cheerful MOD Pizza rocks up to Leicester Square
There’s no arguing with the fact that £7.87 is a more-than-fair price for a pizza, especially with all the toppings you could want, and enough even to make you overlook the fact that it is a bit of a weird number. MOD Pizza, a US-based chain, will soon be bringing their super-fast affordable pizza to the capital when their first London store opens in none other than Leicester Square.
Not only will you be able to
