"Summer's over and the city is back: fall is when London's restaurant scene really comes into its own. This September is promising a bumper load of new openings, from international exports to home-grown talent. While a lot of the new London openings are just that (new), in a time where the news headlines are full of downbeat tales of the decline of hospitality,"
"It's these months of the year when the ingredients are at their best, too. After a hot summer, hedgerows are heavy with berries and orchards are weighed down by apples; wild mushrooms are starting to appear and kale is breaking soil. Chefs are spoiled with choice - it might just be the most exciting time of the year to run a ktichen. These are the hottest new restaurant in London right now."
"Down in southeast London, in village-like Bermondsey, Trivet (run by Fat Duck-alum Johnny Lake and Isa Bal) has steadily risen to become one of the city's most esteemed restaurants, with two Michelin stars bestowed for its efforts. Now, nearly exactly six years after opening, the Trivet team is branching out and heading over to the far swankier Mayfair to open Labombe - a wine bar and restaurant inside the Como Metropolitan hotel on Old Park Lane."
London's restaurant scene intensifies in autumn, with a wave of September openings from international imports and home-grown chefs. Established hospitality figures continue to invest in experimental ventures, signaling confidence in the city's dining future. Seasonal produce peaks after summer: hedgerows yield berries, orchards supply apples, wild mushrooms emerge and kale returns, giving chefs abundant ingredients. Trivet's team expands into Mayfair with Labombe, a wine bar and relaxed restaurant inside the Como Metropolitan hotel, emphasizing specialty wines and informal cooking. Longstanding neighborhood restaurants like Kudu are relocating to central areas, reflecting shifts in the city's dining geography.
