Gold Restaurant London Review: Is This Portobello Road Restaurant Worth Booking?
Jul 13th 2026
Gold restaurant in London is a neighborhood venue only in the way that Notting Hill understands the term. It is relaxed, certainly, but relaxed across four floors, with an open kitchen, a late-night bar, a plant-filled garden room and a roof terrace small enough to make access feel faintly competitive. The food is Mediterranean in temperament, not nationality. Vegetables blister over flame and fish arrives whole. Pasta comes coated in cheese, butter or slow-cooked meat. […]
Kensington Pickleball Club London Review: Is It The Smartest New Racket Club?
Jul 11th 2026
Pickleball has gone from curious American import to the sport everyone suddenly seems to be talking about. And, in West London, Kensington Pickleball Club has been quick to give it a proper home. This is not a glossy wellness club with scented towels and a spa menu. It is more straightforward than that, and probably better for it. The club is built around what pickleball actually needs: good courts, coaching, organized games, and a friendly […]
Lilibet’s Restaurant London Review: Is This Royal Seafood Restaurant Worth Booking?
Jul 09th 2026
Lilibet’s restaurant in London is Mayfair seafood with a tiara slightly askew. It sits on Bruton Street, where Queen Elizabeth II was born, and leans into the royal connection with no trace of embarrassment. The room is floral, gilded, theatrical and faintly ridiculous. In lesser hands, that would be fatal. Here, it becomes part of the fun. The food is seafood-led, luxurious and more interesting than the décor might lead a cynic to expect. Come […]
Oudh 1722 Restaurant London Review: Is Aktar Islam’s Borough Venue Worth Booking?
Jul 07th 2026
Oudh 1722 restaurant in London is not the sort of Indian venue that begins by asking how much chili you can tolerate. Its cooking is quieter, slower, and considerably more regal. Aktar Islam’s first London restaurant explores the cuisine of Awadh, the historic northern Indian province centred around Lucknow. This means melting kebabs, fragrant biryanis, gentle curries and dishes cooked patiently beneath sealed lids. The setting is a rambling Victorian townhouse near Borough Market. The […]
Secret London Restaurants With a View
Jul 05th 2026
Secret London restaurants with a view are not always the rooftop names with velvet ropes, skyline selfies and a booking policy designed to test your patience. Some are tucked inside hotels, galleries and riverside houses. Others sit quietly above the City, behind a discreet lift […]
Michelin Star Restaurants in Marylebone
Jun 29th 2026
Michelin Star Restaurants in Marylebone are not all white tablecloths and hushed dining rooms. That is what makes the area interesting. Around these elegant streets, fine dining can mean fire-led Mediterranean cooking, coastal Indian dishes, Mexican tasting menus, intimate omakase counters, polished British pubs, and restaurants […]
Restaurants like Bacchanalia
Jun 26th 2026
Restaurants like Bacchanalia are not really chosen for a quiet Tuesday supper. They are chosen for the entrance and the room. For the slight absurdity of ordering Greek dips beneath huge Damien Hirst sculptures while half of Mayfair seems to be pretending not to look at […]
The Best Credit Card Concierge
Jun 25th 2026
The best credit card concierge is not there to tell you where to stay in Paris or which restaurant is popular in Mayfair. You can find that yourself in ten minutes. The real value is in what happens when the easy answers disappear: the last-minute table, the […]
Barbarella Restaurant London Review: Big Mamma Brings 1970s Italian Glamour to Canary Wharf
Jun 23rd 2026
Barbarella restaurant in London is not subtle, and it does not want to be. That is the first thing to understand. This is Big Mamma Group’s sixth London restaurant, set inside the YY Building at 30 South Colonnade in Canary Wharf, right by the water at Eden Dock. The group already knows how to make restaurants that people photograph before they even sit down — Gloria, Circolo Popolare, Ave Mario, Jacuzzi, Carlotta — and Barbarella pushes that […]
CeCe’s Restaurant London Review: Notting Hill’s New Italian With a Hint of Hollywood
Jun 21st 2026
CeCe’s restaurant in London is not trying to be the quiet neighbourhood Italian. Let’s be clear about that. This is Notting Hill with eyeliner on. Set at 123a Clarendon Road, CeCe’s comes from Public House Group, the same team behind London spots including The Pelican, The Hero, The Fat Badger, and Canteen. The restaurant opened in the former Casa Cruz site, which already gives it a certain west London mythology before you even get to the front door. Harden’s describes […]
Brasserie Olivia London Review: A Parisian Brasserie Is Coming to Sloane Square
Jun 19th 2026
Brasserie Olivia restaurant in London is already one of Chelsea’s more interesting 2026 openings, even before the first steak frites leaves the pass. The venue is due to open in spring/summer 2026 at 1 Sloane Square, bringing Parisian brasserie culture to one of west London’s most visible dining corners. It is a big site. It will have 180 seats inside, 70 outside, and a terrace overlooking Sloane Square. Chelsea does terrace dining well when it wants to. The […]
Laki Kane Bar London Review: Islington’s Tropical Cocktail Bar & High-Energy Brunch Experience
Jun 17th 2026
Stepping into Laki Kane bar in London feels like boarding a late-night flight to somewhere far warmer. Just off Upper Street, this Islington favourite has built its identity around escapism. It’s not just a cocktail bar. It’s a full sensory experience rooted in rum, music, and immersive design. The concept draws heavily on Caribbean and Polynesian influences, with a clear focus on transporting guests through atmosphere, flavour and performance. The space leans fully into that vision. Expect […]
Napoli on the Road Restaurant London Review: World-Class Pizza Lands in Soho
Jun 15th 2026
If there’s one name redefining pizza in the city right now, it’s Napoli on the Road restaurant in London. What started as a humble street food concept has evolved into one of the most exciting Italian openings in Soho. At the centre of it all is Michele Pascarella, crowned Best Pizza Chef in the World in 2023. His vision was never just about replicating Naples. It was about translating its spirit into something distinctly London. Walking into the Soho […]
Kinz Restaurant London Review: Lebanese Comfort and Notting Hill Grandeur
Jun 13th 2026
Kinz restaurant in London is one of those openings that feels made for Notting Hill. It has warmth, scale, and a clear point of view. Set at 50 Notting Hill Gate, the restaurant takes over a former 1930s Lloyds Bank building, originally designed by Sir Edward Maufe, and turns it into an all-day Lebanese brasserie with a deli, mezzanine seating, a wine room inside the old bank vault, and a private dining room upstairs. That […]
MIKO Mei Fair Restaurant London Review: Fire-Led Thai Dining in Mayfair
Jun 11th 2026
MIKO Mei Fair restaurant in London has the feel of a venue that knows exactly where it sits. It is polished, intimate, and very Mayfair. But it is not timid. Set on Curzon Street, inside the Georgian townhouse also home to MiMi Mei Fair, MIKO Mei Fair is the latest opening from LSL Capital, the group behind restaurants including Jamavar, Bombay Bustle, MiMi Mei Fair and Nipotina. The idea is quite smart: a Thai restaurant […]
