London Restaurant, Hotel & Bar Guide: 2011 So Far…

2011 has seen a flurry of new openings, starting with a bang in January with Heston Blumenthal’s first foray into the London restaurant scene at the Mandarin Oriental with ‘Dinner’ by Heston. Some of London’s other highly acclaimed chefs have also spread their wings with Marcus Wareing opening The Gilbert Scott, a British brasserie at the St Pancras Renaissance hotel, and Jason Atherton, formerly of Gordon Ramsay’s Maze, opening Pollen Street Social in Mayfair.

The Corinthia hotel has opened near Whitehall with a gorgeous bar and restaurant, Massimo’s, elaborately designed by David Collins, while over in Soho, the team behind the successful ‘bacaro’ Polpo have opened Spuntino with a menu and look inspired by New York. Fitzrovia has seen a welcome addition in the form of Riding House Café, an all day brasserie with a ‘buzzy’ bar area, while in Mayfair two new restaurants have opened with female TV personalities at the helm – Silvena Rowe, a regular on Saturday Kitchen, has opened Quince, an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant at The May Fair hotel, and Iron Chef contestant Judy Joo is in charge of The Dining Room at The Playboy Club.
