The highly anticipated third restaurant from Jason Atherton opens this weekend (he comes via Singapore and Shanghai). Pollen Street's Paul Hood takes charge of the menu, which features hearty bistro-style fare such as his take on ham, egg and chips (with duck) and the CLT sandwich (crab instead of bacon). Head upstairs to The Blind Pig bar for Thermonuclear daiquiris, or downstairs for intimate 15-seater dinners at the "Employees Only" wraparound bar. From Soho to Noho. Oskar's bar in Dabbous has a new spring menu – good news for those who are still waiting for tables booked back in '12. Order some bar snacks – faves include the famous coddled hen, farmed Oscietra caviar with puffed rye bread and barbecued shortrib beef with mushroom and molasses in brioche – before making your way through their fun, pun-laden cocktail menu. We'll be starting with a Squid Vicious (with rum, smoked treacle and squid ink) followed by IKEA sours and a Beetroot Marg. Points for their mezcal mix, too.
