Jean-Georges Vongerichten, one of New York’s most acclaimed chefs, plans to open an informal restaurant at the Connaught hotel in London in the first half of next year.
Vongerichten returns to London as an increasing number of U.S. chefs are opening establishments in the city. The Mayfair restaurant, still unnamed, will serve breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner in the space currently occupied by the Espelette brasserie.
