The biggest restaurant openings in 2024

Gaia, Mayfair
Gaia has brought Greek Mediterranean cuisine to Berkeley Street as an addition to successful locations in Monaco and Dubai. The menu focuses on a selection of fresh fish and seafood along with traditional Greek dishes such as spanakopita and moussaka. Gaia features a cocktail bar, wine room and members’ club on the lower ground floor.

The Dover, Mayfair
The Dover is a Mayfair restaurant by Martin Kuczmarski, understated glamour with NYC Italian-inspired cuisine. With an ambience best described as “casual but not too casual”. The menu also contains dishes including an excellent Chicken Cordon Bleu. There is an impressive bar specialising in martinis.

Mistress, Mayfair
Mistress, a Parisian-inspired London spot, opened quietly in February. Offering refined French cuisine with shareable dishes like lobster rolls, oysters, fillet mignon, and truffle fries. Complemented by roaming Champagne trolleys, classic cocktails, and an exceptional wine list. With soulful beats spun by DJs, it promises late-night revelry. Conceptualised by Brand Reveller, designed by Nanu, it’s exclusive and sophisticated.

Juno, Notting Hill
This teeny new omakase restaurant has several defining attributes. The first is its size – with just six seats at the counter it’s one of, if not the, smallest omakase restaurants in London. Then there’s the fact that everything here is both gluten and nut-free making it a great spot to pick for a special dining out occasion if you have dietary restrictions.
