  • June in food: the must-know restaurants and bars launching in London this month

    Warm days arrive and everyone decides, all at once, that they deserve a seat in a leafy terrace. And rightfully so – this is the time to relish every bit of scorching sun we can get. May was a notably strong month for openings but June is giving us plenty of reasons to make our…

  • Wahaca brings the heat this summer with a new seasonal menu

    Wahaca has launched its summer menu, and it reads like a postcard from somewhere sunnier than a Soho street. The beloved Mexican restaurant chain – which has been feeding the UK since 2007 and holds the title of the country’s most sustainable restaurant group – has unveiled a run of new dishes and drinks that…

  • The hip brunch place Morena, in Eccleston Yards, is now open for dinner with a new spring menu

    Nothing pairs better with a sunny weekend than a long, leisurely brunch – especially somewhere that feels worlds away from London’s hectic streets. For many, Morena is the go-to place to get your avocado toast + Aperol fix. Opened in 2020 in the charming Eccleston Yards, the restaurant is influenced by Latin American cuisine but…

  • Fulham has a new Italian gelateria of dreams – welcome La Gelateria Della Luna

    Ice cream shops are ubiquitous in London, but say the magic word (Italian) and we’re merrily gearing up to queue for one hour for a £5+ scoop. There is no ice cream quite like proper Italian gelato. Made in small batches, churned slower and served at a slightly warmer temperature than regular ice cream, proper…

  • This just in: Wahaca is giving away free chocolate ice cream tacos next week

    A Tony’s Chocolonely ice cream taco is exactly the kind of fever-dream creation Willy Wonka would have scrawled on a napkin at 3am. We’d absolutely pay serious money for it, and we’re fairly confident we’re not alone on this one. But for one day only, Wahaca is kindly treating Londoners to 100 of these marvellous…

  • April in food: London’s top new restaurants and bars to try this spring

    April is the month Londoners collectively lose the plot. The clocks go forward, there are two consecutive days above 14 degrees, and suddenly everyone’s convinced it’s rooftop season, booking outdoor spaces and showing up in a t-shirt and a light jacket. It’s a delusion, but a productive one – and this April, the openings are…

  • March in food: The most anticipated restaurant launches in London

    ,

    Ah, we’re finally seeing the sun in the UK after two grim months of near-constant rain, cold, and darkness. And while there have been some interesting new launches earlier this year (see January launches and February launches here), we’re looking forward to a month of a bit more sunshine – and some seriously tempting spring…

  • Wahaca is celebrating Margarita Month with two bold new cocktails

    ,

    Pickle juice, hot honey and Yorkshire rhubarb aren’t the first ingredients that come to mind when you think of a classic Margarita. But for Margarita Month (yes, this February!), Wahaca is deliberately steering away from the plain Janes of the cocktail world – introducing two limited-edition cocktails that take the familiar tequila-lime recipe in two…

  • We visited cato, the new ingredient-led bar that’s just opened in Covent Garden

    ,

    Cato is the new kid on the Seven Dials block – and what a cool kid it is. Launched in Covent Garden in early February, it brings a drinks concept focused on British spirits, fresh ingredients, and ingredient-led cocktails. The bar is a new project from hospitality group Bart & Taylor, developed in collaboration with…

  • The new February restaurant and bar launches we’re bookmarking

    ,

    February might be short, but it isn’t short of new promising launches across London. This month, there are some fresh faces in the restaurant, bar, and bakery scene – from Milan-inspired dining rooms and Welsh-led bakeries to Cantonese comfort food and Mexican seafood – each bringing something utterly unique to the table. To make things…
