• Former Maaemo head chef Jordan Bailey on what it takes to open the restaurant of your dreams

The restaurant, which will replace Patisserie Lila on the Borough Market site, will draw inspiration  from the  buvettes of Paris and the pintxos bars in San Sebastián, and has been described as "Lyle's little sister", with dishes on the menu including cured Mangalitsa and Comté  in fermented potato bread, lamb ribs with yoghurt and black lime and chocolate sabayon tarts.

Customers not wanting to dine will be invited to nip in for a loaf of brioche or sip on a glass of specially-selected wine.
