It's correct. However, in English the present infinitive is often used to refer to the past and therefore most people say It's the last restaurant to open . CB

"The last restaurant to have opened" implies that no more restaurants opened after that one. "The last restaurant to open" implies it's the last restaurant to open at a given time, for example every monday all the other restaurants open at 8 am and this one opens at 10 am. it's the last one to open.
