"There's all manner of edible excellences launching right now in London. Whether you're after Welsh laverbread sandwiches, Caribbean glazed plantain, Cantonese fish balls, a Lunar New Year feast from two of London's best chefs, or simply a nice bit of smoked sausage, we've got you. These are the 10 best new openings of the month."
"Stockpile for St David's Day at lovely little Welsh cafe, Bara - which means 'bread'. The project of Masterchef Professionals quarter-finalist Cecily Dalladay (from south Wales) and Zoë Heimann (from south London), the cafe is inspired by a 1950s Welsh Gas Board cookbook that used to belong to Cecily's grandma. Expect a Caerphilly Cheesesteak sandwich, Pembrokeshire lobster roll, and brunch offering of a 'Swansea Breakfast' (smoked bacon, leeks, cockles and laverbread on toasted focaccia), as well as honey butter pancakes, brown crab rarebit, and leek bubble-and-squeak sarnies."
"In 2023 Forza Wine came for the South Bank, with its acclaimed National Theatre opening , and now the Peckham-born cocktails, natty wine and ace Italian-ish plates restaurant is taking on Soho. Taking over what was Daroco in Ilona Rose House - a nominee for the 2020 Carbuncle Cup for the UK's ugliest new building - we're hoping that Forza will bring a spot of flair to this starkest of spaces."
Ten new food openings arrive across London in February 2026, covering Welsh, Caribbean, Cantonese and celebratory Lunar New Year offerings. Bara in Peckham is a Welsh cafe from Cecily Dalladay and Zoë Heimann serving Caerphilly Cheesesteak, Pembrokeshire lobster roll and a Swansea Breakfast with laverbread, plus pancakes, crab rarebit and leek bubble-and-squeak. Forza Wine expands from the South Bank to a Soho site in Ilona Rose House, bringing cocktails, wine and Italian-inspired plates. Dominic Taylor is relaunching Good Front Room as a permanent Caribbean site in Hackney after a successful pop-up run.
