## Legado 



### Shoreditch 



  

Nieves Barragán’s second solo site was always going to be highly anticipated – her Michelin-starred Soho restaurant Sabor is among the city’s best. We’re pleased to report that Legado, over in Shoreditch, is every bit as good. Sitting down, diners are greeted with a choice of three-sip cocktails to enjoy as they browse the menu. And you’ll need it, the selection is enormous. The good news is that everything we tried (and we ordered a lot) was exceptional. Absolute must-orders include the coriander-heavy skate wing tortilla (one of the best dishes we’ve tried this year); almendritas (slow-cooked oxtail); Cantabrian anchovies with smoked cheese and brioche; and an incredible crab arroz rice, topped with a sculptural soft-shell crab. Make sure to leave space for the chocolate Basque cheesecake.

## Alta 



### Soho 



  

Alta has landed in Kingly Court. A sister restaurant to much-hyped [Moi](https://moirestaurant.com/), it’s headed up by Rob Roy Cameron who has designed a menu inspired by open-fire cooking and northern Spain. He spent more than a decade living and working there, cooking in some of the country’s most respected kitchens. He was part of the team at El Bulli before working as Albert Adrià’s right-hand man for the opening of 41 Degrees in Barcelona. Alta’s menu is designed to share and will present small to medium plates such as Cornish mussels and grilled bread; wood-fired courgette with pumpkin seed romesco; razor clams in white escabeche; plus, a choice of meats and fish such as 38-day aged beef sirloin or turbot head. If it’s anything like Moi, it’s going to be spectacular.

## Carbone 



### Mayfair 



  

Carbone is an A-list take on the Italian restaurants that dominated the New York scene back in the middle of the last century. It continues to draw in the stars of today with its period interiors, sense of theatre, impeccable service, and traditional NYC-style Italian-American cooking that’s been taken to the next level by chef Mario Carbone (the meatballs are unmissable but then so are the spicy rigatoni vodka and veal parmesan). Now, the full Carbone experience has landed in London. Taking over a corner of the old American Embassy on Grosvenor Square, this new-school Carbone offers all the hallmarks of the Greenwich Village original – with a handful of London-only dishes alongside the kitchen's greatest hits. It’s tricky to get a table, but if you’ve got something big to celebrate, this is the place to do it.

## Luso 



### Fitzrovia 



  

Luso is a contemporary Portuguese restaurant led by head chef Kimberly Hernandez (formerly of Luca and Dosa) alongside celebrated Portuguese chef Leandro Carreira. Together, they celebrate the country’s culinary heritage – from the Iberian coastline to rural traditions – with a menu rooted in sharing. Diners can begin with petiscos such as Algarvian-style pickled carrots and homemade fish patê before moving on to lighter plates like brill crudo with apple and red pepper, or clams steamed with garlic, coriander and lemon. Larger dishes include salt-crust wild sea bass presented tableside, crispy Leitão suckling pig and mixed mushroom tart with caramel. Desserts are classic with a twist: chocolate mousse with olive oil and flor de sal; and baked pineapple pudding topped with fresh pineapple shavings. Interiors are warm and characterful, with red limestone tables, Portuguese photography and gyotaku rice paper prints of bream and bass. The wine list champions Portugal’s diverse terroirs alongside standout European labels.

## Bund 



### Mayfair 



  

Following the opulent launch of Shanghai Me, Bund is Mayfair’s new late-night destination. On the 28th floor of the Park Lane Hilton hotel, the lounge blends 1930s Shanghai glamour with contemporary design. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views over Hyde Park, best enjoyed from plush green banquettes set against brass accents and mirrored walls. Open daily for cocktails until 1am and until 4am on club nights (Thursday-Saturday), Bund is already drawing London’s stylish crowd. The cocktail menu is inspired by Chinese zodiac signs, with drinks like the Peacemaker (sea buckthorn, basil, mastika and carrot air) and the Stalwart (butter-washed gin, yuzu sake and panna cotta). A refined pan-Asian menu complements the setting, with signatures including yellowtail carpaccio with truffle, steamed dim sum and the wagyu beef sub.

## Café At The Lavery 



### South Kensington 



  

South Ken restaurant The Lavery has expanded with a light-filled café on the ground floor of its Grade II-listed townhouse. Led by chef Yohei Furuhashi, Café at The Lavery serves modern Mediterranean dishes with a casual, daytime feel – think focaccia sandwiches, seasonal soups and daily cakes, alongside Assembly coffee and Natoora juices. Interiors combine historic character with contemporary design: picture a zinc bar by Day Trip Studio, antique bentwood chairs and soaring sash windows that flood the space with light. Following the example of restaurants like The River Café Café and Robin Gill’s Café Brasso, The Lavery’s new spot is a neighbourhood hangout that works as well for a quick coffee as it does for a relaxed lunch.

## Nela 



### Bayswater 



  

Amsterdam favourite Nela has arrived in London at The Whiteley, joining a line-up that already includes the much-anticipated Six Senses hotel and Third Space. Founded in 2021 by chefs Hari Shetty and Ori Geller, Nela celebrates cooking over fire, with a menu that blends global influences and local ingredients. Dishes at this new spot range from freshly baked breads and pizzas to raw plates like yellowtail with burnt aubergine, and beef tartare with langoustine. Larger dishes include half-lobster with guajillo butter, flame-seared Scottish short-rib and whole fish grilled over coals, while vegetables take centre stage with plates like artichoke on amber coals and corn tempura. Desserts are theatrical and we have our eyes on the tiramisu with coffee caviar, madeleines whisked straight from the oven, and a baked yuzu Alaska, which is flambéed tableside.

## Cicoria By Angela Hartnett 



### Covent Garden 



  

Angela Hartnett has opened Cicoria and Bar Cicoria on the fifth floor of the Royal Opera House. Her first new London restaurant in over a decade, the space has sweeping views over Covent Garden, with a menu that’s rooted in Angela’s celebrated ingredient-led Italian cooking, expressed through cicchetti, antipasti, primi, secondi and dolci. Highlights include vitello tonnato; burrata with chargrilled grapes and mint; lobster linguine; and guinea fowl agnolotti with lardo. Fitting of the venue, the sharing plates add theatre – think monkfish tail with mussels and coco bean ragù – while desserts riff on classics, such as caramelised Amalfi lemon tart; and Valrhona chocolate mousse with toasted hazelnuts.

## Labombe By Trivet 



### Mayfair 



  

From the team behind two-Michelin-starred Trivet comes Labombe, a wine-led restaurant in partnership with Mayfair hotel COMO Metropolitan London, in what was once the storied Met Bar. Head chef Evan Moore leads the kitchen, with sommelier Isa Bal curating a Europe-centric wine list that runs from everyday pours to rare vintages served by the glass or bottle. The grill-focused menu serves dishes you’re unlikely to encounter elsewhere (and that’s a good thing), which highlights including duck heart skewers with cherry, hot tongue buns (a Trivet special), grilled monkfish with braised coco beans, and costoletta alla Milanese with cabbage and agrodolce. Desserts also impress – especially the crème caramel with Campari caramel; and chocolate fondant with hazelnut ganache and white coffee ice-cream.

## Kudu 



### Marylebone 



  

Peckham’s Kudu Collective – the South African-inspired group from Amy Corbin and Patrick Williams – has opened its first central-London site in Marylebone, bringing together the original Kudu, Kudu Grill and Curious Kudu under one roof. The menu continues to celebrate seasonal European cooking with South African influences, anchored by the group’s cult Kudu bread with flavoured butters, such as melted cultured butter with house-cured bacon and melted seafood butter, spiked with brown shrimp and seaweed. Expect small plates like burrata with pineapple and shiso, harissa beef with crispy shallots, and sea trout cured with daikon and tiger’s milk. Mains are cooked over open fire, from pork chops with monkey gland sauce to monkfish potjie with pickled fennel. Sharing cuts such as dry-aged T-bone or whole black bream carry the flavour of the braai, alongside sides like beef fat potatoes and African carrot with ras el hanout.

## Motorino 



### Fitzrovia 



  

Next month sees the launch of Motorino, a modern London-Italian restaurant from Luke Ahearne (formerly of Lita and Luca) and Stevie Parle, the chef-restaurateur behind Pastaio and one of this year’s biggest hits, Town. The menu will showcase Luke’s creative approach to Italian cuisine, rooted in quality ingredients and bold flavours, while Stevie’s influence ensures the space reflects his trademark style – accessible but exciting. The bar, overseen by Kevin Armstrong of Satan’s Whiskers (regularly ranked among the World’s 50 Best Bars), will serve seasonal cocktails on tap alongside icy-cold martinis. If they’re anything like the Dill Boy martinis at Town, we can’t wait.
