ENDO, Chelsea – opening October
ENDO will mark the next chapter for celebrated sushi master Endo Kazutoshi with an intimate ten-seat omakase restaurant. The experience centres on a 200-year-old Kyoto hinoki counter, exceptional seasonal ingredients and the theatre of dining directly in front of the chef.
Coreus by Clare Smyth, Waldorf Astoria London Admiralty Arch – opening autumn
The chef behind three-Michelin-starred Core is bringing a new restaurant concept to London. Coreus will focus on the finest seasonal produce from Britain’s coastline, offering a more seafood-led expression of Smyth’s cooking.
Atelier Kū, Dubai – opening December
Set to open in December on the 15th floor of Emirates Financial Towers, Atelier Kū is conceived as a sophisticated fusion of haute cuisine, cocktails and high-fidelity sound.
