We’ve got a fantastic batch of OpenTable newcomers this month, including some of London’s hottest new openings and dining destinations in Glasgow, Dublin and beyond!
Masala Grill – On the former site of Chutney Mary (which has relocated to St James’s), Masala Grill serves a range of smoky grills, street food and seafood dishes, along with a few select curries.
Taberna do Mercado – Already a hit with the critics, this relaxed Portuguese restaurant from chef Nuno Mendes offers small plates and a fantastic wine list in the heart of Old Spitalfields Market.
Maze Grill Royal Hospital Road – Hot on the heels of Maze Grill Park Walk, the Gordon Ramsay Group have opened a third Maze Grill in Chelsea. Inspired by the grill rooms of Manhattan, it serves rare breed steaks, a signature burger, small plates, and a selection of sushi and sashimi.
Yauatcha City – Dim sum fans will love this slick City newcomer, which is open all day serving delicious dumplings, flawless Peking duck, and modern Chinese dishes like truffled pork belly rib.
Chick n’ Sours – Out in Dalston this weekend? Head to Kingsland Road for sour cocktails, local beers and next level fried chicken. We love the fiery Korean chicken bun and sticky disco wings.

Chai Ki Toddy Shop – The team from Roti Chai have opened an all-day bar and kitchen in Canary Wharf, serving breakfast, exotic cocktails, and modern Indian dishes like Koliwada calamari and spiced Konkan chicken. The more formal Chai Ki Dining Room opens later this month.

The Salt Bar – As seen on BBC2’s The Restaurant Man, The Salt Bar serves Scandinavian-style food and drink in Macclesfield’s Castle Quarter. Try their Nordic take on coq au vin or the smörgåsbord to share.
