Never let it be said that once London restaurateurs identify a trend, they don’t so much saturate the market but flood it. This April, we’ve highlighted a duo of new noodle restaurants, a pair of food halls, and two new pub dining rooms where the emphasis is very much more on the gastro than the pub.
However, we could just as easily have drawn attention to burgers (Bleecker on Baker Street and Black Tap in Soho), sandwiches (brioche specialist La Spot), bakeries (online Reemies goes IRL in Chelsea) or pizza (081 Pizzeria expands to Shoreditch). But since when was a glut of choice a bad thing? It’s never been a better time to be greedy in London.
