Restaurants to look out for

Lielle, Los Angeles

Taking over the two-story L.A. building
that previously held Bicyclette and Manzke,
chef Marcus Jernmark will open a pair of
restaurants, the first of which being Lielle.
The former executive chef at Stockholm’s
Frantzén—one of the world’s best restaurants—
Jernmark relocated to L.A. earlier this decade
to open a different restaurant.

Kinugawa, Dubai

Kinugawa offers an elegant dining experience
at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab that blends the
traditions of Japanese cuisine with the
refinement of French cooking. Bold flavours
meet sophistication in this restaurant, where
you can enjoy a delightful mix by the pool.

Shanghai Me, London

A new pan-Asian concept will open in the
space formerly occupied by the famous Galvin
at Windows restaurant within Hilton’s Park
Lane flagship. Dubai’s luxury Fundamental
Hospitality group is behind the new opening,
which is located on the hotel’s 28th floor and
will offer existing favourites including a dim
sum ‘library’, wagyu kushiyaki and miso cod.

Nina, Marylebone

The final pivot from the Pachamama group’s
central London restaurants is taking form in
Marylebone following the closure of the original
Pachamama in Marylebone. In its place will
be Nina which follows the path taken by the
group’s other restaurants Zephyr and Bottarga
in focusing on Mediterranean food instead.
This time their attention is turning to Italy and
family-style feasts.
