Keep your finger on the pulse with our guide to the best new restaurants in London. From cool brunch spots to fine dining venues, these are the buzziest openings of the moment.
Open now…
Padella, Shoreditch
Pasta lovers will be happy to hear the legendary Padella has opened a second location, this one in Shoreditch’s Phipp Street. Hand-rolled pasta remains the star of the show, and they’re keeping the no reservations policy so long queues are inevitable – though like the other venue, you can leave your name and get notified when there’s availability via an app. It’s well worth the wait.

Dominique Ansel Treehouse
The man behind the famed Cronut, Dominique Ansel, has launched a new treehouse themed site on Covent Garden’s Floral Street, which offers a sit-down menu of sweet and savoury dishes, loosely following the traditional starter-main-pudding format. Savoury doughs are a key focus here – think vol au vents, hand-made pastas, gnocchi and pies. We’re told the name refers to the venue’s upstairs – where the main restaurant sits – which is being described as a ‘treetop canopy.’
Ampéli
Tucked away behind a forest-green awning in Charlotte Street, Ampéli is the latest cosy opening to Fitzrovia’s buzzing food scene. With a tantalising fusion of Greek and Eastern Mediterranean cuisine and a list of indigenous Greek wines curated by Greek Master of Wine Yiannis Karakasis, it’s a strong first solo venture for founder Jenny Pagnoi. Not to mention Oren Goldfield in the kitchen – whose CV includes stints at Nopi and Queenswood. The environment is small and intimate, think: low-hanging lamps and glossy marble tables. The menu is of the perennially trendy, small plate variety, and excellent for sharing. Key players include goats cheese fritters with perfectly crisped okra tempura underscored by zesty Greek yogurt, whipped feta with earthy pistachio and Aleppo pepper served with crisp breads. Don’t leave without trying loukoumades, a traditional Greek doughnut marinated in mountain tea syrup – a honey-flavoured nectar, with Goldfield’s twist, a creamy poppy seed custard. No Greek tragedies here – but book quickly, having only opened in January we predict that over the next few months you won’t be able to get a reservation in edgeways.

The Connaught Grill
Iconic restaurant The Connaught Grill has re-opened on Mount Street after a 20 year hiatus. Located on the ground floor of Mayfair hotel The Connaught, The Grill is overseen by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who continues to run his eponymous restaurant there. The menu focuses on British produce, with dishes including langoustines, Dover sole, British game and seasonal vegetables, alongside classics from the old Connaught Grill. There’s also a ‘Pie of the Day’ menu celebrating traditional favourites, alongside a Sunday Roast presented and carved on the restored silver trolley from the original Grill.
Muse
One of this year’s hottest openings comes from Britain’s youngest ever two Michelin star chef, Tom Aikens. Housed within a Georgian townhouse in Belgravia, the restaurant has space for just five tables seating a total of 26 diners, with a choice of two tasting menus available featuring a selection of dishes inspired by experiences and events in his life to make up what’s described as a ‘gastronomic autobiography.’
Davies and Brook
After much anticipation, Swiss chef Daniel Humm of the iconic New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park has opened a restaurant in Claridge’s, replacing Simon Rogan’s Michelin-starred restaurant Fera. Earlier this year Humm split with the other half of his culinary duo Will Guidara (no hard feelings, we’re told) and continued with the project alone. Named after the hotel’s Mayfair location at the intersection of Davies Street and Brook Street, the restaurant aims to be more relaxed than its New York sibling – though service is slick as can be. On the menu you’ll find Humm’s famous dry-aged duck, glazed with honey and lavender, as well as black cod with napa cabbage and miso, braised beef short rib, and a poached lobster starter – plus the option of Osietra caviar for the table.
Amazónico
Berkeley Square has had a Latin American shake-up, thanks to an exciting new opening from acclaimed husband and wife duo Sandro Silva and Marta Seco. Taking over the 13,000 sq ft space in the former Allied Irish Bank Building, Amazónico has been launched in partnership with D.Ream International, the restaurant group behind Coya and Zuma – and you can expect equally opulent, striking interiors as seen their previous projects. Amazónico promises to offer a sensory experience for guests, with rainforest-themed décor, live music and a vibrant culinary offering, featuring everything from Peruvian sushi to traditional Brazilian dishes.
14 Hills
A botanical-themed rooftop restaurant has opened in the heart of the city, filled floor to ceiling with plants and trees and boasting panoramic views of London. It’s a beautiful space, with an oval onyx bar as the restaurant’s centrepiece alongside garden-style interiors including a canopy of evergreen plants and seasonal plants growing across the ceiling. Heading up the kitchen is Thomas Piat, formerly executive chef at Daniel Boulud’s Bar Boulud, with a focus on modern British cooking with French and European influences – signature dishes on the menu include a venison sharing dish, alongside a seafood starter of white crab, cauliflower and oscietra caviar.
Coming soon…
KOL
Set to open in May 2020, KOL is the highly-anticipated debut London restaurant from Santiago Lastra, who was the project manager of the Noma Mexico pop-up. Through KOL Santiago aims to showcase the history and diversity of Mexican culture using predominantly British produce – he’s spent the past couple of years discovering the best ingredients from small-scale and independent producers from across the country. So what dishes can we look forward to? So far: langoustine tacos with sea buckthorn, lamb leg tostada; and tortillas handmade in-house. We’re sold already. Opening May 2020.
Louie
Louie is the latest venture from Guillaume Glipa, the mastermind behind a number London’s top restaurants, including the iconic Chiltern Firehouse. A collaboration with Laurent de Gourcuff’s hospitality group ‘Paris Society’, Louie will be housed in a multi-floored townhouse in Covent Garden, which previously played home to Joel Robuchon at 15 West Street. The dining space will occupy the bottom two floors, with an oyster bar, an old jukebox and velvet banquettes, alongside a bar above, complete with a glamorous roof terrace. Mississippi-born Slade Rushing – formerly at Brennan’s Restaurant in New Orleans – will be heading up the kitchen with a French-Creole menu. Opening March 2020.
Larry’s
The team behind Levan in Peckham are opening a new restaurant next door, inspired by the diners and cafés of New York. As with its neighbour, Larry’s is named after music pioneer DJ Larry Levan, and will stay open morning to night, allowing after-dark diners to enjoy music from its vintage Celestion Ditton sound system. ‘Larry’s is somewhere we’d expect Larry Levan to go to after playing one of his sets,’ says Nicholas Balfe, one of the founders. ‘We’ve cherry-picked everything we love about eating in New York, and combined them into the kind of place we would want in our neighbourhood.’ Breakfasts will be inspired by New York’s Italian and Jewish delis: latkes, lox and soft-boiled eggs are all set to feature. Come lunchtime, the team will serve up focaccia sandwiches, small plates and Waldorf salads, while dinner will involve a selection of sharing plates followed by Babkas, cheesecakes and homemade gelato. Opening March 2020.
Six by Nico
This spring renowned Scottish-Italian chef Nico Simeone will open his first London site of Six by Nico, a concept which began in Glasgow in 2017. Offering a new spin on the classic tasting menu, this innovative eatery offers an entirely new six course tasting menu every six weeks. Menus are inspired by places, memories and ideas: previous themes have included childhood, Catalonia and guilty pleasures, all designed to take diners on a culinary adventure. Opening spring 2020.
