April’s new restaurant forecast is for a shower of London’s most saturated food trends. The month ahead heralds a new Greek restaurant, new wine bars and a new French bistro (in fact a French bistro and wine bar under the same roof). All that and two splashy openings from a pair of luxury overseas operators. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!
It does, however, feel a little churlish to complain about a certain sameyness of new restaurants when there are such bluechip names behind them — ditto the imminent launches from some of the capital’s better-quality chains, with April welcoming a South Ken outpost for Lina Stores, Yard Sale Pizza in Tufnell Park and El Pastor in Battersea Power Station. Step away from that chocolate egg and tuck in.
