2014 had a hell of long summer and there were tonnes of openings that came with it. But the stand-out winner of this term was the 'Meat Eatery'! If you love all things meaty, Summer 2014 was the most fruitful in yonks. Our list contains no fewer than 13 restaurants dedicated to either steak, burgers or anything that used to have a pulse. Aside from that, it was a bit of a 'Sister-Act', with at least 12 new sister sites openings. And to top it all off, two restaurants were awarded Michelin Stars (Fera at Claridges and CIty Social) which is just bonkers considering their infancy on the food scene.
