Team behind Berber & Q to launch new 'relaxed' restaurant in Queen’s Park

The team behind a London restaurant group has announced the upcoming launch of its latest project.

Brothers Josh and Paul Katz and Mattia Bianchi, the team behind Berber & Q and Shawarma Bar, have unveiled plans for a new eatery in the heart of Queen’s Park.

Carmel, which is set to open its doors in October, will be a relaxed restaurant offering a range of all-day dishes, inspired by the flavours of North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.

With 44 indoor covers and a 30-seater terrace, the site will feature a long sharing table and focal bar, as well as an open kitchen enclosed by a curved bar. Alongside its all-day menu, wine will be at the heart of Carmel, with a list of approximately sixty wines.

Co-founder Josh Katz commented: “My brother and I opened Berber & Q six years ago and Carmel maintains our core ethos of celebrating good company and eating great food cooked simply with real care and passion.

“The menu continues to take inspiration from the Levant and makes good use of the wood-fired oven, but we have some completely new creations, and some classic breakfast dishes on there too.

“Mattia has had real fun with the wine list at Carmel and we have created a list which shows off some of the most exciting producers out there.”
