The weather being so glorious and the next bank holiday in sight, we thought we’d bring you a selection of great dining spots in London parks. That way when you’re done with your leisurely stroll, game of tennis or you’ve finished reading a book in the sun, you can pop to a nearby restaurant for […]
It may come as a surprise to some that only one London restaurant is listed in our top 10 UK dining spots, and it isn’t some showy establishment helmed by a ‘celebrity chef’ either. It’s The Ledbury in Notting Hill. Perhaps it’s because head chef Brett Graham can still be found in the kitchen, rather than […]
The Editors’ review of The New Angel Celestial choirs break out for us as John Burton-Race returns to the London dining scene. Zoe Williams wants to buy the Holborn Dining Room kitchen a timer Everything the Telegraph reviewer eats is overcooked, from lobster to liver. Ash Mair finally opens Bilbao Berria The MasterChef […]
Australian chef Ash Mair (winner of 2011 MasterChef Professionals) has finally opened his long-awaited tapas restaurant in (Lower) Regent Street. The Basque-inspired Bilbao Berria is a genuine Spanish export, an offshoot of a chain with two sites already in Bilbao, two in Barcelona and one in Ibiza.

Just in time for summer, this 14th century Thames-side Chiswick boozer reopens tomorrow (24 May), after an extensive refurb.

D&D London has been able to purchase a prime piece of restaurant real estate after its former owner’s company went bust. The group once known as Conran Restaurants has bought the 130-cover Madison Bar and Restaurant in the City’s One New Change centre (which also houses Jamie Oliver’s Barbecoa) for £4.5 million. The tapas restaurant was founded […]
Hidden-away in Bayswater, John Burton-Race’s new restaurant offers quite a traditional formula which, our early-days visit suggests, is done well enough to be worth seeking out. There were a number of reasons we expected not to like this Bayswater newcomer. Most obviously, it is the creature of a ‘TV chef’ (John Burton-Race). It also takes […]
We hoped it wasn’t gone for good, and it looks like our prayers have been answered: the Anglesea Arms in Ravenscourt Park is making a comeback, and with former head chef Phil Harrison in the kitchen. The pub will re-open under new management on 11 June following some renovations. In the past the Anglesea Arms has […]
Not a restaurant but a ‘social food hub’, complete with a ‘concept’ and ‘happenings’ (instead of boring old events)… Jenius Social has arrived in Islington. The venue hosts supper clubs, cookery classes, masterclasses with industry experts and private dinners. It also has its own on-site deli. What Jenius Social does not offer, however, is regular restaurant service: […]
