A new restaurant lands in Farringdon this autumn, with sister site AREE to follow in Notting Hill in early 2027<\/p>\n
Karla Knowles, former head chef at Kiln<\/a>, is opening her first two permanent restaurants. First up is a new restaurant landing at 61 Charterhouse Street in Farringdon this autumn, the latest in London\u2019s ongoing open-fire cooking boom<\/a>. It\u2019ll be followed by AREE, a fire-led, Thai-inspired restaurant, in early 2027, taking over the old E&O site in Notting Hill. Both restaurants are founded alongside Romain and Edouard Bourrillon, and sit under the Maisons Vivantes restaurant group, alongside Cocotte, Casa Felicia<\/a> and Jusu Brothers.<\/p>\n Knowles has spent almost a decade in London\u2019s most acclaimed kitchens, from Mark Hix\u2019s Tramshed to Petersham Nurseries, before taking the top job at Kiln. AREE will draw on her recent travels through Bangkok <\/a>and northern Thailand<\/a>, exploring the layered flavours and techniques she encountered there, from Chinese influences to more experimental, contemporary approaches.<\/p>\n Ahead of the Charterhouse Street opening, Knowles<\/a> is running a series of pop-up dinners at the site throughout summer, teaming up with some of hospitality\u2019s most interesting names. Highlights include a collaboration with content creator @dudu_eats<\/a> on 23rd July, an art-and-sake evening with Cluster and Dream Sake on 30th July, and a fire-led Thai supper club on 13th August, with dishes including Cornish crab and summer fruit miang, and coconut chicken curry. The series wraps with Karla + Friends on 15th August, a closing party bringing together the chefs and collaborators involved throughout.<\/p>\n Key Information<\/p>\n Date |\u00a0Farringdon Autumn 2026, ACREE Notting Hill 2027
