Excellent service, food and atmosphere, almost on par with New York's equivalent. go for the bloody mary, prawn cocktails, duck confit and raspberry soufflé!

Great Dim Sum but it's part of a bigger chain of restaurants. Always oder to little here for some reason as portions are quite small.
Quite expensive place but has some very unique decor and quite a posh crowd. Fun if you feel like dressing up.
Good dinner & drinks spot! They have a party room upstairs for private functions and gigs.
Best brunch spot in Notting Hill. A bit of a hipster crowd but it's tolerable. Love their smoothies!
One of the best pubs in the summer. Also a bit of a hipster spot so you might see some people that are a bit full of themselves. Good food too but the menu constantly changes.
Another great brunch/lunch place. Quite the hip scene but good gastro pub food. You will smell of food once you come out of that place so if you are sensitive to that sit outside!
Pretty snazzy place with a great set menu deal. Also allows you to jump the queue and the hassle at the door. The club nights there are usually far from mainstream. Expect entertaining characters!
