As Londoners brace for the cooler months, the capital’s dining scene is heating up with a series of exciting new openings. From rooftop hotspots to high-end French eateries, here’s a guide to the restaurants you won’t want to miss this autumn and winter.
House of the Gods & Amazing Grace – Canary Wharf
Where: 12 Bank Street, London E14 4DD
Opening: House of the Gods – now open | Amazing Grace – 13 November 2025
A striking, reflective new building is redefining Canary Wharf’s skyline, housing both a luxury hotel and an entertainment-led dining experience.
Amazing Grace follows in the footsteps of its London Bridge venue, known for its live music in a revamped church setting. The Canary Wharf location promises a slightly more purpose-built space, offering a pan-Asian-inspired menu with highlights such as bao buns, Korean fried chicken wings, short ribs and wagyu burgers. Evenings come alive with live bands, DJs and karaoke sessions, making it a perfect mix of food and entertainment.
House of the Gods, previously launched in Edinburgh and Glasgow, brings 79 opulent rooms and suites to London. But the main draw is the rooftop bar and restaurant, boasting space for 300 guests and panoramic city views. While the full menu is under wraps, this is set to be one of London’s most talked-about rooftop destinations.
Chelsea Grill – Chelsea
Where: 300 King’s Road, London SW3 5UH
Opening: 18 November 2025
Replacing Fantomas, Chelsea Grill is the latest project from the Wild group, transforming the space into a neighbourhood grill focusing on fire, smoke and top-quality ingredients.
Headed by Anton Vasilyev, formerly Executive Chef at Sugaar in Paris, Chelsea Grill offers exceptional cuts of meat sourced from the UK and Europe, alongside day-boat fish and seafood. Innovative cooking methods include vegetables roasted in ash overnight and dry-aged fish, while a rotisserie cooks poussin to perfection. For dessert, the in-house cherry pie promises a sweet finish. Cocktail lovers can enjoy creations like the Green Apple Gimlet, made with fresh Granny Smith apples.
Mezzogiorno – Francesco Mazzei at Corinthia London
Where: Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2BD
Opening: 20 November 2025
Italian culinary heavyweight Francesco Mazzei, known for L’Anima, Sartoria and his work with D&D, returns to London with Mezzogiorno at the Corinthia Hotel.

Signature dishes include Scottish crab with Tuscan panzanella, Umbrian white truffle tortelli, Bistecca alla Fiorentina and Mazzei’s marsala tiramisu.
The dining room has been revamped with terracotta tones, soft stone, natural textures and greenery, creating a welcoming yet refined space. Expect a dedicated white truffle menu and a separate aperitivi bar to complement the main dining experience.

Finally bringing the Guinness Storehouse experience to London, the Guinness Open Gate Brewery in Covent Garden features a microbrewery, shop, rooftop bar and open-fire kitchen.

Visitors can expect seasonal craft brews, interactive tasting sessions, and even “pour your own pint” experiences.

For Guinness enthusiasts, this opening is a must-visit this winter.
