from tantalizing tapas to steamy british stews, december is made for warm eats and cozy cafés. the city is happy to oblige with this month's resto picks:

latin love.
uber-popular tapas bar salt yard gets a sister resto this month. dehesa is set to be an all-day spanish and italian kitchen. delicate sherries and a special brunch menu are sure to attract soho's business lunch crowd. with a no ressie policy, get in early. opens early december. 17 kingly street, W1B. oxford circus tube. no phone yet.


scandi-licious.
the west end is having a swedish smorgasbord with the new scandinavian kitchen. dine on healthy northern dishes in a relaxed café setting. norwegians head for the smoked herring. swedes can't get enough of the meatballs. the cakes? they're for everyone, ja? 61 great titchfield street, W1W. oxford circus tube. 02.75.80.71.61. www.scandikitchen.co.uk


notting deli.
maida vale's deli darling is heading for the hills. raoul's deli and café (pictured) re-opens near portobello road this month. for the new digs, think parisian bohemian. look forward to grilled chorizo baguettes, puddings, fresh juices and some trademark egg plates. brunch is back. 105-107 talbot road, W11. notting hill gate tube. 02.72.29.24.00. www.raoulsgourmet.com


brit kit.
chef sara adams is a culinary patriot. her charming new eatery, kensington square kitchen, puts brit cooking centerstage. indulge in a spread of traditional cakes, pastries, delish salads and meats. the menu and wines might have a vintage kind of feel, but the venue is completely chic. 9 kensington square, W8. kensington high street tube. 02.73.98.25.98. www.kensingtonsquarekitchen.co.uk


eco eats.
acorn house owners arthur pott-dawson and jamie grainger-smith are at it again. this time, the eco-focused team is taking on hoxton. the water house is a completely green resto that will offer equally green mod brit eats. opens late december. 10 orsman road, N1. hoxton tube. no phone yet.
