Restaurants to look out for in LA, Dubai & London

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.
