In Partnership With Taste of London
Big names, new openings and dishes worth seeking out
This year’s restaurant line-up taps into the full breadth of London’s food scene. Expect everything from Michelin-starred spots and neighbourhood heroes, to those with a cult following. Sexy Fish, Roka, Big Mamma Group and Los Mochis are all part of the line-up, joined by DakaDaka, Dumplings’ Legend and Roti King, each bringing standout dishes that define what they do best.
With over 130 dishes available across the festival, it’s designed for grazing, discovering and going back for more.
This is the ultimate foodie destination in London. Plus, seeing huge cult favourites like Dumplings’ Legend is reason enough to get on board and grab a ticket.

A packed schedule of demos & tastings
Taste goes well beyond the plate, bringing high-energy festival atmosphere to the heart of the city.
Across the five days, expect a packed schedule of live demos, tastings and masterclasses from chefs including Sally Abé, Natty Can Cook and Melissa Thompson, alongside appearances from some of the industry’s most exciting names. It’s designed to feel energetic and easy to dip into, without having to plan your whole day around it.
For a bit of smoke-infused spectacle, head over to The Fire Pit to catch live demonstrations from the likes of food waste disruptor Martyn Odell (AKA Lagom Chef). For those looking to master the flames themselves, the BBQ Cook School serves up interactive sessions designed to elevate your grilling skills under the guidance of the best in the business.
There are also hands-on workshops and an artisan marketplace featuring more than 160 producers, from premium pantry staples to small-batch drinks and emerging brands worth knowing. It’s hard to leave empty-handed.
If you’re going as a group or want a more relaxed set-up, the VIP lounge offers extra space, added comfort and a slightly slower pace away from the crowds.
Taste is the perfect way to discover new restaurants, revisit favourites, and soak up the energy of the city all in one place.

What’s new for 2026?
Alongside the main festival, 2026 also brings a fresh new addition: Taste of the City, taking over London from 15–21 June. Created by the team behind Taste of London, it unfolds as a citywide series of one-off events across standout restaurants and venues.
Expect chef-led collaborations, limited-run menus, and immersive dining experiences that bring together some of the most exciting names in London’s food scene right now. It sets the pace ahead of the main event, before the festival takes over the capital in full.
Planning your visit
Taste of London returns to The Regent’s Park from Wednesday 17 to Sunday 21 June. Tickets start from £24, with VIP options available for those looking to make a day of it in style. Turn up hungry, try as much as you can, and expect to linger longer than planned.
