RESTAURANTS
new in 60by80
Viet Hoa Mess
While this might sound like naughty Sunday morning in a Saigon brothel, this Shoreditch BBQ temple is far and away a much classier affair.
Rochelle Canteen
Grab a school-style breakfast or lunch from one of London’s most underground catering companies.
The Riding House Café
Small plates may be all the rage, but this cool restaurant off Oxford Street is actually doing them well.
Pollen Street Social
Jason Atherton combines picking plates, hearty mains and a wow-factor dessert bar for diners who just can’t stick to the plan.
Spuntino
The food may be Italian-inspired, but the flavour is Americana at Russell Norman’s cool, no telephone, no reservations, much-awaited third restaurant.
Eating out in London guide
A primer to navigate your way around London's food scene, from spotted dicks to celebrity chefs.
Dinner by Heston Blumenthal
Inspired by the Great British gastronomic heritage, Heston Blumenthal’s first foray into London is finally open – with no Heinz in sight.
Wright Brothers Soho Oyster House
For dining in Soho, you’d do well to leave the meat racks of Old Compton Street and veer over to this oyster specialist’s new space for a seafood fix.
Hawksmoor Seven Dials
Fresh meat now available at this cavernous Covent Garden location. The cultish Spitalfields steakhouse has a new Seven Dials outlet.
Super Pizza – Danger of Death
Great slices now served up just across from the legendary Brick Lane Beigel Bake at this cosy joint with its own secret members bar.
Barbecoa
The latest opening from Britain's pukka chef is a Tom Dixon-designed carnivore heaven set up in collaboration with American BBQ guru Adam Perry Lang.
Beach Blanket Babylon Shoreditch
While not quite on par with its quaint gourmet neighbour in terms of either food or outré decor, this glam crowd-pleaser definitely ups the party stakes.
Byron at The Intrepid Fox
Less sceney than the nearby Lo-Profile or Balans - and less entertaining, perhaps - but preferable if you pay more attention to the buns of your burger than those of your waiter.
Princi Soho
Alan Yau may be London’s hottest restaurateur, with hotspots like the Michelin-starred Hakkasan and Yauatcha under his belt, but things are kept both affordable and accessible here at Princi.
Gelupo
The perfect stop for a lunchtime or mid-afternoon ice-cream fix. Bocca di Lupo’s dessert deli serves up scoops and smiles.
