One of the world's best new restaurants is here in London, according to a luxury travel magazine
We genuinely believe that London is the greatest city in the world for food – and it looks like we're not the only ones.
In a brand new list of the best new restaurants in the world, which spans Quito, Copenhagen, New York City, Chicago, Sydney, Lagos and more, a newly-opened spot in London has also made the grade.
According to travel magazine Condé Nast Traveller, AngloThai in Marylebone is among the finest new restaurants on the planet, making the publication's 2025 Hot List. The restaurant opened at the end of last year, the long-awaited project of John and Desiree Chantarasak, a husband-and-wife team who had previously hosted acclaimed pop-ups and residencies.
AngloThai specialises in Thai flavours but uses local, British produce. Only a few months after opening, AngloThai scored its first Michelin star. CNT praised the restaurant for offering 'delicious escapism at its best, cooked with lots of love.'
Time Out visited AngloThai back when it opened and gave it a wholehearted five-star review, wolfing down the Hebridean hogget in massaman curry, grilled flatbread slathered with shrimp butter, raw venison with radicchio and scallop roe chilli jam.
'In reimagining some of Thailand's most celebrated dishes via the lens of fastidious fine dining, John Chantarasak uses mystical-sounding, Tolkien-adjacent UK ingredients to mimic Thai food's puckering sour notes,' we wrote.
'Hence the pleasingly tart seabuckthorn margarita which comes alongside an amuse bouche of creamy, crabby broth. It's the colour of Fanta, but offers the sweet and salty taste of seawater straight off the sands of Cromer.'
