... - 64 Goodge Street is the latest opening from the team behind Clipstone and Portland
It's been a while since we had a brand new opening from the people behind Quality Chop House, The Woodhead Restaurant Group. They're also the people who brought us Fitzrovia restaurants Clipstone and Portland and that area must be working very well for them because they're about to open a third restaurant nearby, 64 Goodge Street.
In charge of the space will be Head

... - Sonora Taqueria are coming to Stoke Newington
Last year Sonora Taqueria beat their crowdfunding target and got on with getting their first taqueria off the ground - and now it's time to officially open.
Sonora has been touted as serving up some of London's best tacos, ever since their days in Netil Market. After that closed they popped up at Arcade Food Hall in the meantime, and even fought off legal action that would have prevented them using

20/6/23 - updated with the opening date

It's been almost eighteen months since Claridge's hotel in Mayfair closed their Davies and Brook restaurant following a disagreement with chef Daniel Humm over the direction it was going in (he wanted to go fully vegan, they weren't so sure). Now, very quietly, the hotel has reopened their signature restaurant space.
In charge of things as Head Chef is Coalin Finn. He's was at Davies & Brook as

Easily one of London's most impressive dining rooms, the building has changed hands a few times over the past decade or so with Masala Zone promising an entirely new look for the room (where the Grade II restrictions
... - Yannick Alleno is also opening Bar Antoine in London
We've known for some time that multi-Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alleno was opening a top-tier restuarant, Pavyllon, in London (they're apparently deep in soft opening mode right now). But news that he's also going to be running a bar alongside that surprisedlu us today.
Bar Antoine, named after the chef's late son, sounds like it might be just the place to try some of Alleno's cooking, without the

14/6/23 - updated with menu details and the opening date
The man behind Macellaio RC, Roberto Costa, is trying something different for his next opening, Fish Game in Canary Wharf.

If you're into your gelato you'll probably have encountered Badiani, a Florentine gelato chain that's been slowly expanding across London, serving up flavours like cobnut, green tea, pear sorbet and more.
The next part of London they've scoped out for an opening is Balham, where they're going to be setting up shop next door to the popular cafe Milk. But Badiani are planning something very different for their spot in Balham.

Cicchetti must be doing rather well for themselves. Owned by the San Carlo Group (the same people who run the Selfridges rooftop restaurant), the Piccadilly Cicchetti is getting ready to move to a much bigger space - just down the road.
They're moving to part of the Grade II listed Piccadilly Arcade. It's a two-floored part of the arcade that will be double the
