A gloriously extra Italian restaurant

1 week ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

It’s official: Big Mamma Group is opening its next showstopper of a restaurant in Canary Wharf. Yes, the culinary empire built on maximalism is, at long last, moving into the London neighbourhood defined by its own excesses, in a what-took-you-so-long move of pure hedonistic symmetry that feels like fate.
Leroy | A Michelin Starred Parisian Bistro In Shoreditch

3 weeks ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

Duchy has just opened in Shoreditch, and it has some big shoes to fill. The space it’s housed in used to be Leroy – a rare combination of reasonable prices & a Michelin Star that sadly had to close last year.
An intimate sushi bar in Notting Hill

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

Eel sushi bar has just opened in Notting Hill – and because it comes to us from the edgily cool, we-sit-at-the-back-of-the-bus team at Dorian, it’s got “no omakase horsesh*t and ponce” and is just a sushi bar. Which, frankly, is actually quite refreshing. Especially because they’re explicitly labelling it as “low priced“, which coming from these guys is a fairly bold move.

Eel sushi bar is about to open in Notting Hill – but because it comes to us from the edgily cool, we-sit-at-the-back-of-the-bus team at Dorian, it’s going to be have “no omakase horsesh*t and ponce” and will, in fact, be just a sushi bar.

Leroy | A Michelin Starred Parisian Bistro In Shoreditch

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

Okay, so Ellory was a restaurant that opened back in 2015, won a Michelin Star, and then closed a couple of years later. The team went and reinvented it as Leroy, won a Michelin Star, and closed a couple of years later. Now, team members from Leroy have decided to reinvent it as Duchy, and are probably hoping to continue exactly one half of that pattern. The two guys spearheading this reboot are chef Simon Shand and manager Alex Grant.
Dinners Next Door

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

We’ve decided to start a series of supperclubs. What took us so long, we know. The concept is simple: basically we take one wildly talented chef – like, say, Jack Coggins of the insanely hot-right-now Goodbye Horses – and we drop them into an unexpected corner of London, or a residential neighbourhood that wouldn’t normally see their style of cooking. Like, for example, East Dulwich. We’re calling it Dinners Next Door.
A Michelin Starred Californian restaurant in Soho

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

It seems strange to say it, but SO|LA is the only Michelin Starred restaurant in London serving Californian-inspired cuisine. And yes, for most people the last Californian-inspired meal they had may well have come from a drive-through – but let’s just remember that the state is a goldmine of stunning produce, great wine, and indeed unceasing culinary creativity. And SO|LA is probably its premier exemplar here in the UK, having won 3 AA Rosettes and a Top-40 spot on the National Restaurant Awards.
Somerset House's sleek new riverside terrace

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Jason Allen

We’re throwing a party. Not the sort with tiny canapés and awkward small talk. No. Rather, the sort that previews the all-new riverside terraces of 18th century neoclassical palaces run by a wildly talented team on the bleeding edge of London’s bar & restaurant scene, with complimentary welcome cocktails (yes, plural) plus 50% off food & drink all night, too. That kind of party.
Soutine | A Belle Epoque-Style Parisian Café in St. John's Wood

1 month ago | thenudge.com | Hattie Lloyd

Soutine | Grand Café Dining by Regent’s ParkChaïm Soutine was a Russian-French painter, born the tenth of eleven children, who – when he got his big break in Paris and sold 60 paintings at once – jumped straight into a taxi to Nice, over 400 miles away. His eponymous restaurant, meanwhile, is the seventh restaurant from the reigning monarchs of Grand Café revival, The Wolseley Hospitality Group.
