Prep your appetites, Londoners: the capital is primed to welcome a whole host of buzzy new restaurants over the coming months.

New London Restaurants 2025
Gordon Ramsay at 22 Bishopsgate
Five new Gordon Ramsay concepts will be taking over London’s tallest building, 22 Bishopsgate, next year. Right at the top will be a new branch of Lucky Cat, Gordon Ramsay Restaurants’ Asian-inspired venture, which will become the capital’s highest restaurant, complete with a roof terrace for late-night cocktails. Elsewhere on this floor you’ll find a chef’s table experience from Chelsea hotspot Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. And just below, there will be an outpost of Bread Street Bar & Kitchen, where you’ll be able to enjoy the signature roasts, grills and salads, alongside a brand-new afternoon tea offering.
When? February 2025
Where? 22 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4BQ
Carbone, Mayfair
Since opening in Greenwich Village just over a decade ago, Carbone has stood as one of New York’s hottest food spots. Offering an upscale take on ‘red-sauce Italian’ restaurants, it has attracted some of the world’s biggest stars over the years, from Taylor Swift to Rihanna, who flock there for a taste of its signature spicy vodka rigatoni. So will the new London branch have a similarly starry effect? Most probably: it’s launching within super-luxe new hotel the Chancery Rosewood, complete with dazzling interiors, bold dishes and big prices. Easily one of the most eagerly anticipated new London restaurants of 2025.
When? TBC
Where? Chancery Rosewood, Mayfair
La Môme London
The Berkeley is set to get even glitzier in 2025, as Cannes hotspot La Môme is set to open its first London outpost within the hotel. Poised to open its doors in January, the new eatery will be helmed by French restaurateurs Ugo and Antoine Lecorché, channelling the same chic spirit as its French Riviera sibling. Think Mediterranean fare and stylish interiors, complete with Slim Aarons’ photographs of sun-dappled ‘60s life lining the walls.

Osteria Angelina
Angelina is one of Dalston’s most popular dining rooms, renowned for its creative tasting menus which blend Japanese and Italian cuisine. And now the team behind it is back with a relaxed sister restaurant, Osteria Angelina, opening in the City in March 2025. Located in a converted Victorian warehouse on the border of Shoreditch and Spitalfields, the eatery will focus on fresh pasta with a Japanese twist, alongside ‘big cut’ Binchotan grill dishes and smaller plates – including Angelina favourites like antipasti, crudi and fritti.
When? March 2025
Where? 10 Blossom St, London E1 6PL
CÉ LA VI
There’s no shortage of rooftop restaurants in the capital – but there’s always room for one more. The latest is a London branch of CÉ LA VI, the glamorous Asian eatery which already has branches in Singapore, Dubai, Taipei and Tokyo. Set atop Paddington Square, the restaurant will offer views of the London skyline, set across two floors and boasting its own outdoor dining area – sure to be a top destination come summertime. Diners can expect similar menus to the sister restaurants, spanning sushi platters, maki, sashimi and mains such as Korean fried chicken and steak frites.

Noisy Oyster
Since opening in 2022, Soho’s Firebird has garnered acclaim for its creative open-fire cooking. In 2025, co-founders Madina Kazhimova and Anna Dolgushina have an exciting new venture on the horizon, Noisy Oyster. This time, the pair are heading to Shoreditch and focusing on seafood, with a fun, playful menu featuring oysters, crudo and whole fish dishes, alongside signature mini martinis – all set amid a striking space within the historic Norton Folgate development.
When? Spring 2025
Where? Shoreditch
Effie, Bayswater
Hot off the heels of its latest launch, Bottarga on the King’s Road, Pachamama Group will be opening another eatery in 2025: Effie in Bayswater. Set within the revamped Whiteleys department store (soon to reopen as luxury development The Whiteley), the restaurant will focus on dishes inspired by the Aegean coast, with a menu of mezze, chargrilled meat and fish.
When? February 2025

Francesco Mazzei at Corinthia London
Next year, the long-standing Northall restaurant at five-star hotel Corinthia London will be transformed into a signature eatery from esteemed Italian chef Francesco Mazzei. We haven’t got many details just yet, but it will showcase Mazzei’s signature Italian style, which he describes as ‘mamma’s cooking with a chef’s hands’, with a focus on championing the specialties of his hometown. With its high ceilings and large windows, no doubt the space will have a grand look too, in-keeping with the hotel’s sophisticated aesthetic.
When? Summer 2025
Where? Whitehall Pl, London SW1A 2BD
Le Caprice
Carbone will be joined at the Chancery Rosewood by a reinvention of Le Caprice, the A-list hotspot frequented by everyone from Princess Diana to Mick Jagger back in the ‘80s. Helmed by restaurateur Richard Caring, Le Caprice 2.0 will be set across two floors of the hotel, featuring suitably lavish interiors from Martin Brudnizki. Diners will be able to enjoy some Le Caprice classics – signature dishes include bang bang chicken and steak tartare – however these will make up just a fifth of the menu, leaving plenty of space for newness.
