Bar Douro Opens New Soho Branch; Elezar Launches Eastern European Chophouse in Mayfair Crypt

Bar Douro added a Soho branch on 2 November 2026, taking over 10 Greek Street — the space formerly occupied by the much-missed restaurant of the same name. The new site joins Bar Douro's existing London Bridge and City locations, bringing its Portuguese menu to a new neighbourhood. Diners can expect sausage-stuffed croquetes de alheira, creamy bacalhau à brás, gambas à guilho garlic prawns, and a fully Portuguese wine list.

Also among November's new arrivals is Elezar, which has opened in Mayfair inside the Undercroft space within the crypt of St George's Church, at 49 St George Street. The venue had previously been earmarked as the site of Brad Carter's first solo London restaurant. Head chef Erik Miotto, formerly of Cycene and Akoko, leads the kitchen at this Eastern European chophouse, with the menu built around large cuts of meat and open sandwiches on rye bread topped with herring, pork cheek, anchovy, and caviar.

The two openings are part of a packed November 2026 calendar that also includes Lunette at the St Clement hotel in Temple, Pam in Clerkenwell, Theo's in Peckham, and Big Mamma's Edmondo in the City.
