April's a month for returners, as the trio behind bao are back with a fresh take on Taiwanese cuisine, and Michelin-starred Tamarind of Mayfair are now in Soho, in a 'fast-casual' setting...

Here's to experimentation...

What's the scoop? As chefs go, Jean Georges Vongerichten has had some pretty exceptional success. His eponymous Jean George in New York is one of only seven restaurants in the world to be thrice Michelin starred - so it's odd that his name is still relatively niche.
Why go? To dine in the spectacular conservatory at the Connaught Hotel - the famous Mayfair sight that houses this new restaurant.
