It may be an iconic bastion of old world gastronomy, but Le Gavroche is still rolling with the times after all these years. Michel Roux Jr plans to offer a brand new dining experience on Mondays from January 2016, which sees the Mayfair restaurant close to the general public but available for private and corporate hire, […]
We’ve teamed up with Ceru, a “little gem” of a restaurant offering “fresh tastes of the Levant” which has been popping-up across London over the last year. It’s latest incarnation is in the City’s Cannon Street (after successful runs at London Riverside and Fitzrovia’s Rathbone Place). We are offering one lucky Harden’s reader the chance […]
We’ve teamed up with the good people of Twizoo to announce the top 5 trending restaurants on Twitter each week in London. Twizoo is an app that gives restaurant recommendations based on what people are saying on Twitter, and analyses over 50,000 incoming tweets per week to determine which restaurants are attracting the most buzz.

A collaboration between ex-Mayfields chef Matthew Young and sommelier Jack Lewens, formerly of Spring and River Café – due to open on 20 November in Hackney’s Netil House – is sure to have east London foodsters (foodie-hipsters) excited. And foodies in general if we’re honest. Young’s food has been praised by everyone from the broadsheet big guns […]
Jun Tanaka, previously of Midtown’s impressive (but expensive) Pearl (RIP), will launch his first solo restaurant – a casual French-Mediterranean on Fitzrovia’s main dining drag, Charlotte Street – next week. And the chef is offering diners 50% off food during the soft launch of The Ninth from 19-21 November, in advance of the official opening on […]
Significant changes have been introduced at Mikael Jonsson’s outer Chiswick open-kitchen venture Hedone. The lauded “truly staggering!” restaurant – which snagged a coveted place on the Harden’s top 10 gastronomic experiences in London list this year – has reopened after a short closure without a conventional menu and also sans a few seats. Only 24 […]
D&D London has finally opened its Mittel-European-style Grand Café and bar, the German Gymnasium – a long-anticipated renovation of a former Grade II listed gymnasium in King’s Cross. Designed by London-born architect Edward Gruning in 1865, this was the first purpose-built gym in England and hosted the inaugural indoor events of the 1866 Olympic Games. 150 years later, this […]
Jonray Sanchez-Iglesias, one half of the inspirational culinary team behind Bristol’s Casamia, has passed away at the age of just 32. The sad news comes only days after the restaurant, conceived a run by Jonray and his brother Peter, was crowned the fourth best in the UK by the Sunday Times Food List, powered by […]
AA Gill is back at the Sunday Times’s Table Talk column with a bang as he reviews London’s hottest new opening – Richard Caring’s improbably named Sexy Fish. He finds its a tale of two restaurants; the ostentatious room itself which ‘comes on like one of Ron Burgundy’s pick-up lines’, and then there’s the food […]
Another new resident is slated to open in King’s Cross restaurant hub Granary Square as Cubitt House’s sister company Open House launches its second London offering next year. Like Percy & Founders in Fitzrovia, which opened in spring 2015, The Lighterman’s food offering will be overseen by the group’s exec chef Diego Cardoso (formerly of […]
