For new restaurants opening in London this year, we can expect follow-ups from some of the city's biggest-name chefs. In January, Tom Sellers will reopen Restaurant Story after closing for a multi-million-pound renovation, while Claude Bosi will open Lyonnaise restaurant Josephine. Later in the year, Endo Kazutoshi will open a rooftop sushi spot at The OWO and Akira Back will helm the restaurant at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair.

The best new restaurants in London are the most exciting places to eat that have just opened in the capital city. Ranging from small affairs with daily changing menus from up-and-coming chefs to Michelin-starred spots with fresh new menus, these are London's new restaurants we've got our eye on right now.

Every restaurant on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has eaten at that restaurant. When choosing new restaurants, our editors consider both high-end and affordable eateries that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We're always looking for stand-out dishes, a great location, warm service, and serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new restaurants open in London.

For the seasoned Londoner, a trip to Borough Market may make one shy away for fear of pavement-hogging tourists and frenzied foodies on the hunt for the tastiest morsel. Tucked away on the fringes of the buzzy hotspot, however, Camille is enough to entice even the most jaded of food lovers back towards the chaos. An understatedly classy and candle-lit bolthole, Camille offers a welcome respite from the humdrum streets outside. Step through the doors and you feel as though you could have stepped through a portal to a '50s family-run French bistro. Lots of wood, linen half-drapes and Art Deco-style lighting all add to the effect. The menu, too, is unapologetically French, and mostly classic in its sensibilities – think garlic, pig's head and cream aplenty. The tiny space hums with conspiratorial conversation, as though everyone here is in on the new dining secret. We start our meal with a bright and bubbly Crémant before diving into the food menu, which changes with the seasons. To start, the most succulent quail that leaves us picking apart the carcass for any remaining scraps. This is followed by the highly recommended crab toast served with a fragrant and salty bisque. Over the much-needed interlude between courses, we wash down the flavours with a lively Beaujolais, before the Hereford Onglet is served. Steeped in the most sumptuous Café de Paris butter, the perfectly pink and plump slithers of meat are simple French indulgence at its finest. Full to the gills, we're told it would be a sin to leave without sampling the burnt milk tart for dessert. Not one to shy away from a challenge, I engaged my "pudding stomach" and tucked in, and boy, was I glad I did. A sort of hybrid between a creme brulee and a treacle tart, this milk tart is at once feather light and delectably sweet, the sweetness of the filling a delightful contrast to the bitter burnt topping. Since opening at the beginning of the year, this small neighbourhood restaurant is proving that it punches well above its weight when it comes to flavour and style. For lovers of maximalist flavours and minimalist aesthetics, I'd strongly advise you to book now before it becomes one of those spots where you'll be waiting months just to get your feet under the table.
