"2026 is ushered in via a wave of brand new eateries across the capital. Ignore the call of dry Jan and instead book yourself into one of these many new openings. Finding your purse-strings to be extra-tight post Christmas, then a single bun at Claridge's brand new bakery might be the best option, or maybe try a bargain bowl of wonton noodles at Hoko's new outlet in Covent Garden (or just look at our list instead, for meals under a tenner in London)."
"Ever since Dara Klein popped up in The Compton Arms kitchen with her earthy Italian takeover, we've been big fans. Since letting Rake take over the Islington gastropub's food service, she's been plotting something of her own. Her first stand-alone restaurant will feature dishes from Dara's Compton Arms residency as well as other Puglia-inspired classics, from panelle and orecchiette to her majestic take on a milanese. There'll be a 15 seater bar as well as space for 30 in the restaurant."
A wave of new eateries opens across London in January 2026, spanning casual noodle shops, bakeries and Italian trattorias. Dara Klein launches her first standalone Puglia-inspired restaurant in Bethnal Green, serving panelle, orecchiette and a signature milanese, with a 15-seat bar and seating for 30. Claridge's opens a bakery led by Richard Hart offering Jammy Dodger-inspired tarts, Belgian buns, iced fingers and various sourdoughs. Conor Gadd plans Burro, a Trullo offshoot in Covent Garden focused on classic Italian dishes. Hoko expands with a Covent Garden outlet serving bargain wonton noodle bowls.
