FoodVIP London · Ep 2: A martini in two ice-cold serves just landed on the 11th floor in Temple

A martini in two ice-cold serves just landed on the 11th floor in Temple.

Just opened in London: Lunette, from chef Florence Knight, opened to everyone on Tuesday, November 3 at the top of the St Clement hotel (Level 11, 180 The Thames, Temple). Until now it was invite-only; expect a pared-back menu and that martini.

Also new: Chelsea Counter, from The Dover's Martin Kuczmarski, opened Monday, November 2 at 39 Cadogan Gardens, Chelsea. French dip burgers and spaghetti all'assassina.

On the radar: Edmondo, from Big Mamma (Gloria, Circolo Popolare), opens Friday, November 6 at 6 Lombard Street in the City. 1930s Milanese glamour, a towering XL focaccia and huge steaks.

The paper trail: Sushinoya Company Ltd has applied to the City of London for a premises licence at Unit 4, 101 Moorgate (filed October 15, 2026). Comments close Thursday, November 12.

A Temple martini, a Chelsea French dip, Big Mamma's XL focaccia or Moorgate sushi: which London table are you booking first? Tell us in the comments.
