June's bringing a range of exciting new restaurant openings to London. Ones that we're particularly looking forward to are the latest from the Palomar's founders, The Barbary, and the hot new opening from a former Benares chef, Talli Joe – but as usual, there is a huge amount to savour coming up.

The Barbary, Covent Garden

It's incredibly hard to get a table at hot Jerusalem-meets-Southern Mediterranean restaurant The Palomar – and things aren't going to get any easier at the founders' next opening in Covent Garden. With only 24 covers, you'd better get your reservations in pronto. Menu details are still under wraps but it will be good.

Bunyadi: London's Naked Restaurant

Okay, so we're not saying that the much-hyped Naked Restaurant Bunyadi will be culinary highlight of the summer (frankly the actual food isn't getting a look in)… But judging by the mammoth waiting list of almost 50,000 Londoners keen to feast in the buff, it will be all that everyone's talking about. So better book fast — if you can stomach it.

Talli Joe, Covent Garden

Former Benares head chef Sameer Taneja has branched out on his own at Shaftesbury Avenue's Talli Joe. The name refers to both the ordinary everyman traveller in India - the 'Joe' - and also getting slightly tipsy and pleasantly disorientated - the 'Talli' part. Early visitors have pronounced themselves deeply impressed.
