A London-based food festival has announced the second wave of chefs, exclusive culinary experiences and restaurants set to join this year's event, which launches on 12 June. 

Guests of Taste of London can expect a week of drinking and dining indulgence, with the festival marking its 20th year in Regent's Park in 2024. 

Restaurants

Newly announced restaurants for the full five days of feasting include Mayfair's contemporary Anatolian, Ruya; The Hoxton's neighbourhood British cuisine concept, Rondo; sustainably sourced seafood connoisseur, Faber; and returning favourite, Burger & Lobster. Each brand will serve up its best-selling dishes throughout the week, as well as an exclusive option that will only be available at Taste of London.

After its successful debut in 2023, the BBQ Cook School will return this year, offering another collection of masterclasses from live fire expert and chef, Genevieve Taylor; Taste of London veteran and co-founder of Hoppers, Karan Gokani; and Opeluwa Odutayo and Jason Howards of The Future Plate, a collection of leading black chefs showcasing African and Caribbean cuisine.
