Phil Howard to launch new restaurant with Rebecca Mascarenhas

Michelin-starred chef Philip Howard is set to open a new restaurant in partnership with London restaurateur Rebecca Mascarenhas.

Howard, who is head chef and co-owner (with Nigel Platts-Martin) of the two-Michelin-starred The Square restaurant in Mayfair, will launch the new venture in the autumn. It will be an informal neighbourhood restaurant housed in the former site of Mascarenhas' Bistrot Eleven (previously Abingdon Road) in Kensington, which closed today.

Mascarenhas also owns London neighbourhood restaurants Sonny's in Barnes and the Phoenix in Putney.

More details to follow on Caterersearch soon.
