The four biggest openings this week: featuring Frenchie and K Bar

A look at the latest restaurants, hotels, pubs and bars to open their doors

Frenchie

‘Frenchie' was the nickname given to chef Grégory Marchand when he headed the kitchen at Fifteen in London's Shoreditch. Grégory and his wife Marie went on to launch several ventures in Paris, including Frenchie restaurant, Frenchie Bar à Vins, Frenchie To Go and most recently the Wine Shop (Frenchie Caviste). Now the husband and wife team has launched their first London outpost, in Henrietta Street in Covent Garden. The menu echoes the Paris original and features simple bistro dishes using mostly British-sourced and seasonal ingredients referencing Grégory's experiences at kitchens around the world, including Danny Meyer's Gramercy Tavern in New York and the Savoy Grill in London.
