Opened on 26 June inside The Leonard hotel, a restored Georgian townhouse at 13 Seymour Street, Mour is an all-day Mediterranean restaurant and martini bar from founder Saachi Sehgal and his sister Sienna, with Emerald Hospitality Group. The 60-seat dining room is paired with a hidden 20-seat courtyard under a retractable roof, and the menu runs to dishes such as brie tortelloni and seabass tataki. Source: Hot Dinners.

The Chinatown favourite known for its mango sticky rice, originally tucked behind the SeeWoo supermarket on Lisle Street, opened a second and larger site at 10A Coptic Street on 22 June. The menu widens to Thai fishcakes, sai oua and Isaan sausages and Thai-style Hainan chicken rice, with founder Kai announcing the expansion on social media. Source: Hot Dinners.
Darjeeling Express, Soho
Asma Khan has reopened Darjeeling Express in a much larger Rupert Street home, the restaurant's fourth iteration, expanding to more than 150 covers with lunch through late-night service and a Kolkata-inspired open-plan room, backed by Shaftesbury Capital. The all-female kitchen keeps its Bengali and Kolkatan repertoire, including kosha mangsho, prawn malaikari and Calcutta kati rolls. Source: Restaurant.
