It's a couple of weeks until the World's 50 Best Restaurants unveils its list for 2025, but in advance of that, they always release the long-list of 51-100. This year sees a big demotion for London as we go from five restaurants on the list to only two. Core by Clare Smyth and Brat have dropped out, but Tomos Parry's Mountain has moved up from 94 to 74. Lyle's has also dropped out, but that's already closed.

It's all change at East London bar Alfie's, which this summer is being transformed into a little slice of Oaxaca, Little Fires. And rather than just saying it's going to be Mexican-inspired, they've got all the talent to back it up. The collective in charge - Christian Pecoraro, Florian Schulze, and Horacio Sainz - has brought in the team behind one of the world's best bars, Sabina Sabe in Oaxaca to help create the Little Fires cocktail list.

Chef Michael Caines won a Michelin star for his restaurant at Lympstone Manor, and has previously held two stars at Gidleigh Park. But until now, the chef hasn't opened anything in London. That's now changing as, according to Restaurant website, the chef is taking on all the food and drink at The Stafford London hotel in Mayfair as "Culinary Strategist". This has all come about because the Stafford group have just taken over Lympstone Manor and as part of that are bringing the chef to London.

There have been a lot of fancy new Mayfair hotels opening of late, from the Mandarin Oriental to the upcoming Chancery Rosewood on Grosvenor Square. And now another is added to the list, with this one planned as more of a boutique affair. The Shepherd Mayfair has taken over what used to be the Park Lane Mews Hotel, just off Park Lane and not too far from Shepherd Market (they say it's actually within Shepherd Market, but we'd say that's somewhat stretching its boundaries).

It's been promised for a few weeks and now Lardo's new wine bar is nearly upon us. Bastardo is opening right next door to the popular East London pizzeria, and as their window proclaims, it's focusing on low-intervention wine and "mighty fine snacks". Starting with those snacks, they're clearly sharing the same DNA as the main Lardo. So, there will be pizza fritti, sharing "trough plates" of pasta and other snacks like stracciatella with anchovies on toast.
