August's best new London restaurant openings

By CW Contributor on 1/8/2017

August is a quiet month for openings; it's a month restaurateurs avoid while Londoners flee the city for the summer.

Instead, big plans are put in place for eateries to open in the early autumn like Dishoom Kensington or Sabor on Heddon Street – a project by a couple of ex-Barrafina staffers.

However, those ambitious few launching in August include Core by Clare Smyth – the country's only female thrice-Michelin-starred chef – and a follow-up to the excellent Soho Sri Lankan place, Hoppers.

Core by Clare Smyth, Notting Hill

Core by Clare Smyth, Notting Hill

Ever since Clare Smyth achieved a perfect score in the Good Food Guide and became the first female chef in the UK to earn three Michelin stars, we've been waiting for her go solo. Now, after 11 years honing her skills as head chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, she's going it alone.

Core will serve 10 and 12 course tasting menus in a relaxed fine dining environment.

New Hoppers restaurant to open on Wigmore Street

Hoppers, Marylebone

When you've opened the 'best restaurant in Britain', what's next? Siblings Karam, Sunaina and Jyotin Sethi are the restaurateurs used to round-the-block-queues. After the resounding success of Gymkhana, the owners rode the wave with a Bao, Xu and then Hoppers.

Hoppers version 2 will be more of the same delicious Sri Lankan cuisine at affordable prices – only this time with reservations for lunch and dinner.

The Frog Covent Garden

The Frog, Covent Garden

What's London's mostly oddly named restaurant? Surely it's The Frog, Spitalfields – the remarkably successful fine dining bolthole which opened in summer 2016. Despite the weird name, under the leadership of hot young chef Adam Handling, the restaurant pulled in extremely good reviews. Now he's opening a follow-up.

The Frog, WC2 in Covent Garden will be a similarly fine dining affair as Shoreditch, but re-imagined for Covent Garden, taking influence from the area's steep heritage for both its dishes and its interior.
