Few rituals are as deeply embedded in London life as the Sunday roast. Whether it’s the crackle of beef dripping on a hot tray, the theatre of a whole joint carved tableside, or the simple pleasure of a Yorkshire pudding done right, the great Sunday lunch is a tradition the capital takes seriously — and does brilliantly. From a MICHELIN-starred open-fire kitchen in Westminster to a centuries-old chophouse in Farringdon, a steak-and-seafood institution in Piccadilly to a bold Portuguese take on the classics in Hoxton, the capital’s Sunday roast scene has never been more varied — or more inclusive. You’ll find several spots catering brilliantly for a vegetarian or vegan Sunday roast, with options that hold their own against anything on the meat menu. These are the Sunday roasts in London worth booking a table at. The best Sunday roast in London awaits. Secure your table on OpenTable, and earn loyalty points for every single reservation. What the Experts Say “Whenever someone tries to convince me that you can’t beat a homemade Sunday roast, my first thought is that they clearly haven’t had a really good restaurant roast. London’s dynamic restaurant scene has elevated the Sunday roast from rustic stereotypes to sophisticated, aspirational culinary event.” —Emma Louise Pudge, Bun Run founder and food writer for publications including Eater and The Huffington Post “The Sunday roast is an English ritual that people look forward to all week long. Whether you’re into the generous portions of meat and gravy, or the towering Yorkshire puddings, there are endless options—even for vegetarians.” —Pooja Shah, London-based freelance writer with bylines in The HuffPost, Forbes, Vogue India, Oprah Daily, and Business Insider The best Sunday lunches in London are ready to be served. Explore these standout destinations and book your spot on OpenTable for a perfect end to the week.

London has always been one of the world’s great eating cities, but 2026 is delivering something special: a wave of new openings that spans every neighbourhood and, seemingly, every culinary tradition on the planet. The best new restaurants in London this year lean into confidence and specificity — a dedicated Georgian wine bar in Notting Hill, a Turkish-Cypriot meyhane above Borough Market, a Milanese ristorante in the heart of London Fields. From new restaurant openings in London’s most well-trodden postcodes to quieter arrivals on south London high roads, the year’s dining landscape covers extraordinary breadth. Whether the destination is a live-fire Mayfair kitchen, a MICHELIN-pedigreed chef’s neighbourhood Italian in Balham, or a 25-cover British bistro reviving Victorian recipes in Hackney, this is the London dining guide for 2026 — covering the top tables worth booking right now. Explore the best new restaurants in London for 2026, book on OpenTable, and earn loyalty points for every single reservation.
