Granary Square Kitchen, London
Bruno Loubet will open his second site early next year within the 6,300 sq ft space of the Western Transit Shed, part of the new Archant development of King's Cross. The 80-cover restaurant will have an additional 100 alfresco covers on Granary Square itself (should the sun ever shine again) and will see the French chef place more emphasis on the role of vegetables in his cooking.

Duck & Waffle, London
Located on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, Duck & Waffle will join only a handful of restaurants that can truly claim to be a 24/7 operation when it opens later this year. Head chef Daniel Doherty will serve up crowd-pleasing dishes that suit all eating occasions, including a foie gras all-day breakfast for early risers and welcome Old Spot pork pies for night owls.

It's going to be a busy few months for the UK's restaurateurs, which can only be good news for adventurous diners looking for something that bit different. The only difficulty will be fitting them all in we suspect.

A large section of the UK public worry about how to put the next meal on the table every day. You are talking about spending their weeks budget on one meal.

Simply prepared and well cooked food is what is now needed in the restaurant market. Poncey 'celebrity' or, more likely, would-be 'celebrity' chefs churning out pretentious, over-priced dishes (which curiously always seem to slavishly follow a current 'fashion') should, rightly, now be worried as the amount which most customers are willing, or able, to spend is in decline. Moreover, sourcing ingredients which are available locally at sensible prices should be encouraged as we have producers of some of the finest foods in the World on our doorstep. These producers will also welcome an alternative to enslavement by greedy supermarket cartels.

Restaurant food is for celebrities now who are  watching their figures, as the fashion dictates..... a measly piece of grouse breast or some such fare which would not keep a cat alive.  How people can eat such rubbish is beyond me. All the chefs seem to cook is offal or similar food which the butcher  throws away,  dressed up to look apetising, whch it isn't. The Hairy bikers cook 'real food' which most of us can afford, not some poncy overpriced  'fashion food'.  I do not think there is a need for more  restaurants  as all it does is give the fashion 'foodies 'something to talk about. In any case who but wealthy people can afford it?

Just another venue to seperate them for us, why pay £150 per head for lunch,because they can( I know no prices have been listed) But its just another way of giving these people a false sense of importance and self worth.Nice to see their reaction when at the end of service, all the staff sit down and have exactly the same menu for free!, he he he
