Suffolk
L’Escargot Sur-Mer, the seaside subsidiary of London institution L’Escargot which launched in Aldeburgh during the pandemic, is due to reopen this month as a permanent business called The Suffolk. Following the refurbishment of the historic townhouse in Aldeburgh High Street which housed pop-up L’Escargot Sur-Mer, The Suffolk will launch a 60-seat restaurant named Sur-Mer; a roof terrace with sea view; a bar; and two private dining rooms with 12 and 24 seats respectively. Six additional rooms will open in September. Suffolk-born chef James Jay, who joined the team in March 2022 to run the Sur-Mer pop-up at New Street Market in Woodbridge with Pell, will lead the kitchen, serving a seafood-focused menu which will champion local producers, including Pinneys of Laiterie Orford and Fen Farm. The wine list will feature mainly French wines from £24 for a bottle and £6 for a glass, while the cocktail list will serve up a handful of classic favourites, including the Coastal Martini from Suffolk in partnership with local Fishers Distillery .

Brighton-centric restaurateur Raz Helalat has recruited ex-Café Murano and Padella chef Mirella Pau to help him launch an Italian restaurant near the resort town’s North Laine area. Scheduled to open later this month, Tutto will be housed in a “beautifully restored” 1930s former bank on Marlborough Place and will be inspired by “traditional Italian food culture” aiming to “bring together all of its best elements, focusing on simple quality and the Italian experience in equal measure”. Menu details have yet to be released, but the focus will be on sharing and “simple, seasonal ingredients.” Open all day, the restaurant will have 80 seats inside and an additional 34 seats outside.

Cardiff noodle seller Matsudai Ramen will open his first brick-and-mortar restaurant in early August, which he says will be Wales’ first ramen shop. The Bank’s 70-seat Matsudai Ramen will open at a former Natwest Bank site in Grangetown, Cardiff on August 6, following a five-month refurbishment of the site.
