Notting Hill

Cinquecento

Super lovely typical Italian atmosphere, loved the furniture and decoration. Food was beautiful, I didn’t have a good pizza like this since years, ingredients looks fresh.
I would for sure recommend it to friends

A typical Italian, thin pizza. Although the outer edge was chewy and the toppings were fresh, the inner pizza dough was soggy and couldn’t hold the toppings. The flavor was good, though. Overall, 7 out of 10

Well this might just be my new favourite restaurant in Notting Hill. Cozy, quaint interior with beautiful decor from the plates through to the vibrant garden seen through the restaurant window. Staff are delightful and full of Italian culinary knowledge.
The menu is full of wonderful options but not too big that it’s difficult to choose from. If you visit and don’t try the potato Gatau then you’re an idiot 🤣

Good place if you are after pizza, otherwise average and overpriced. We had a small lunch here, my friend ate pizza and I had gnocchi. Well, pizza was good, the rest slightly disappointing. The most annoying part was when we ordered olives as an appetiser and received what you can see in one of the photos, there's barely 8 average olives for £4,5. seriously, i was extremely confused. Otherwise, the place is quite small and cozy, the staff was reasonably friendly.

One of my fav pizzerias since I’ve been to Cinquecento Chelsea. This one is even better because you can book a table for two online.

I had “Burrata” pizza for £17.

The pizza was extremely fast and the service was nice. The decor is “rustic” with two big chandeliers.

I would recommend it!

Granger and Co. Notting Hill

This place is excellent.
We decided that this was our place for brunch, one lazy Thursday morning.
No queue as this was in between brunch/lunch crossover.
The vibe inside is classy as you’d expect from this area.
The highlight for me was the porridge and tea.
The flat white was also delightful.
Our guy was very attentive and made key recommendations and was polite and respectful as well as courteous.
Definitely worth visiting and will go back.
5/5

The place is wonderful and the ambiance is a perfect brunch ambiance. The staff were friendly. The scrambled eggs are very fluffy and satisfying. The coffee was amazing. The only thing is the menu is very limited, so don’t expect a hug variety of things. Also the avocado sourdough is good but the bread was a bit hard to my liking. But overall it was nice and i would definitely come again.

Such a lovely spot for brunch! It’s a very nice interior in the middle of beautiful Notting Hill. The food was outstanding. Really fresh, healthy and tasty. The winner for me was the tea smoked salmon, just super perfectly cooked and soft, very flavourful but unlike normal smoked salmon. You definitely pay the upper price range but for a nice treat it’s worth it!

Come in the morning instead of typical brunch time - you’ll avoid a wait. Got in quickly on a Saturday morning at 9. Great, friendly service. Banana pancakes were worth the hype - big and fluffy, if a little eggy. Mint tea was overpriced. (Nice bathrooms too - always have to check out the bathrooms!)

Warning: wait is inevitable 😎 you cannot book so you have to get to the restaurant, and leave your details. We waited for about an hour but there are lots of little shops etc to look around in the neighbourhood so an hour passed by quite quickly. The atmosphere is buzzing and staff were all super friendly, trying real hard to serve, and even though it was very busy, the team did great job being attentive. The fried rice was on point together with kimchi - definitely recommend with poached eggs, the Bloody Mary was delicious and perfect way to start the day.

All of our chicken is Halal. This includes our chicken schnitzel and the roast chicken salad.

Buns from Home

Amazing buns! I tried many flavours and they're all great. You really can't go wrong with any option you choose.

Only wish I had one closer to home!

Amazing cute little buns place! Their dough is deliciously crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. All the flavours are extraordinary, but my favourites are Berry Cheesecake and Spinach and Feta. And the coffee is great as well!

Stopped by Buns from Home this morning before my flight home. I did not realize that there would be so many options....plus savory bun options.

I got a cinnamon bun option and what I believe was a vanilla bun option. Really happy with my options. They tasted great and fresh. I have a sweet tooth and was happy as I ate vanilla one of them on my flight home. There was a good ratio to bun and filling. I need to stop at one of the other locations on my next trip to London.

Good branch. Quite small. However, friendly staff and we found different buns available today. I had introduced my mum and brother to these and they loved them and went down very well. The chocolate custard one was good and my mum raved about the berry cheese cake flavour

Was excited to try a cinnamon roll after seeing all the hype. I had the vegan one, it was delicious, crispy and fluffy but unbelievably small. I don't know if I just got unlucky and they are usually bigger, but for £3.50 it felt a bit of a joke when I can get a much bigger pastry of equal quality from other bakeries at the same price.

The only two buns flavours on our permanent menu that aren’t vegetarian are our ham and cheese bun and our tiramisu bun (pork gelatine). We are currently trying to switch over to fish gelatine but it’s proving harder than we expected. None of the permanent flavours contain alcohol. Occasionally, weekend specials will contain one or both of these ingredients, in which case we will be sure to mention this on the instagram announcement.

Cottons Notting Hill

Absoulty amazing. The staff were wonderful. The food was delicious, but the cocktails were better. I would go back again and again. LOVED IT

Had a great time here on Wednesday. We were warmly greeted even though we arrived 30 minutes early. The manager was so lovely, service with a smile and attended to all our needs. The food was authentic and represented the different caribbean islands. Beautiful.

The service here was wonderful and fast. The food was super delicious! And the atmosphere will surely put you in a good mood. I will definitely be back!!

Really enjoyed my meal here, had the salmon with mashed potatoes and it was amazing! Wasn’t a fan of the calamari but everything else was great. Also had the rum punch, which is also a must have.

Went for bottomless brunch on a Sunday and it was very good. The drinks (rum punch and prosecco) were frequently refilled without having to request it. The food was also good although it would be great if there was more than just the one meal included. Otherwise, a good experience.

Buns From Home

Buns from Home is of the best recommendations I ever got for London. If you’re into buns: GO THERE! You need to go there!  No matter how long you’ll have to wait in the queue, it’s worth it.
Even if they appear to be more or less standards, get a cinnamon bun and a chocolate hazelnut one - these are incredibly amazing. Also cheesecake of one of my favorites. Other combinations, some of the specials, are a bit over the top, though. The combination of pistachio and orange sounded quite interesting and delicious, but in fact were an overload of taste and flavor. But that’s just my opinion, subjective and personal preferences. I never heard somebody saying anything negative about the shop.
The staff is also quite friendly, even offered to take care of the rubbish.
So again: go there!! Or better: Don’t go there otherwise the queues will be even longer soon because of the great products.

Got three buns - all so good and moreish.
- pineapple cheesecake
- regular cheesecake
- vanilla custard (this was our favourite)

The pastry was crispy but could have been lighter and the filling was super satisfying and hit the spot. Not too sweet but couldn’t finish a whole one by myself. They’re big!

These buns are so next level, that they may elicit tears of joy when you try them.
I run of words to describe them. I can only remember what it feels like every time I have one of those decadent cinnamon buns, and it’s a feeling of pure happiness. But if I were to try, I would say it’s the warmth, the delicate crunchiness, the unique buttery sweetness, and the mix of flavors (whether it’s cinnamon, almond, or my all time favorite: the pistachio) that make them so extraordinary

Delicious buns!!

I really enjoy the filled buns here, especially the all pistachio Persian weekend special bun from the other week. The filling is light and not too sweet or heavy. The pastry is a delicious vessel to carry the fillings and toppings.

I wish they had the special buns of longer than 2 days each week. And that they have the filled buns on nationwide delivery.

If you like buns, this is the place ! You have savoury and sweet  buns available :)
There are some benches to sit inside and outside, however I will suggest to find the nearest park to do so.
You can also order different type of coffee but honestly you can better elsewhere as this is not what they are know for.
No toilets available.

Honestly one the best Italian restaurants I've been to in London so far!!!
The restaurant is small but with great atmosphere and beautiful decorations. Pizzas are baked in a furnace and are incredibly delicious. The meatballs with the tomato sauce were amazing as well. There was a nice choice of cocktails and a wine list.
Staff were very polite.

Where should I start from? Firstly,and most importantly, the customer service was excellent.The waitress was welcoming and helped us choose dessert with her recommendations. The tiramisu was rich and almost as good as my mothers. The pizzas were cooked to perfection composed by quality ingredients. I will definitely be attending again soon:) In general the staff was candid!

A beautiful and delicious resturant to dine in, the staff are super friendly and polite and the interior design should be praised heavily.

They have a large selection of authentic italian dishes and from the ones I tried beat my expectations and tasted delicious.

Only star missing was cuz tables were a bit tight and hard to move around but this is a MUST on your food list!  Pizza is outstanding and the dough makes it!  Also ate other foods that were delicious as well.  Atmosphere is good and welcomin.  Our server, Pheobe, was wonderful!  She saw my boyfriend trying to Shazam the music (cuz thats good too!) And she threw her phone down with the song info for him :)  great personality and very friendly with good food recommendations :)  we will definitely be back on future London visits!

Honestly we had a very pizza napoletana. Few place in London where you can find it, this is one of the best. Staff super professional. Last advise? Try the Tiramisù!

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Portobello

Very tasty medium rare burger with some local ale... Highly recommend for any burger lovers. Also vegetarian versions available.
Amazing rosemary fries... 😀

Amazing experience. The staff was super nice and friendly. Brilliant gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options. Definitely coming back. Cheers to Themba ❤️

The staff at honest burgers are great, very good service, very good food and Alex is the best at making burgers exactly how you ask for it. Will definitely be going back 👌🏼

Really solid burger but the chips with rosemary salt were the real show stopper. Grabbed takeaway food and a beer from the tube station and ate on side of the road. Looking forward to trying again when dining is open again.

This is the 3rd time in a row we asked for Medium cooked and specified pink and we got it well done once again. Used to be top place to grab a consistent great burger from but not any more.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Akub Restaurant

Great experience at Akub! Warmly welcomed by an experienced and knowledgeable staff, plunged into a modern Palestinian vibe through the decor and the various dishes ordered. The food is excellent and the desserts incredible!
Very reasonable prices.
A place that I strongly recommend and where I will return!

Friendly welcome and delicious dishes - unlike anything we’ve had before. Very attentive and enthusiastic staff. The little squash parcels with beetroot and the pickled vegetables were my favourite small dishes and the lamb shoulder parcels were so delicious!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic new restaurant that really adds something to the London culinary scene. The menu is a wonderful reinterpretation of traditional Palestinian flavours, which are served in a beautifully decorated and atmospheric environment and from crockery that can be considered art. The staff is knowledgeable and very kind. Surprisingly, and unfortunately, the meat is not halal, but since there are only a handful of meat dishes and many vegetarian and fish options, there is plenty of choice for Muslim guests as well.

We had the most wonderful New Years evening at Akub.  The food was delicious - creative takes on familiar dishes. And great service.  We had the best time - I totally recommend it!  Both for an event or for a casual dinner.  ❤️❤️❤️

I had the most amazing lunch at Akub! The quality of the food, the attention to details, everything was fantastic!! Did not know the name of half of what I ate but all was delicious. I especially enjoyed a dish with beetroot ( sorry can’t help with the name 😅). To drink I ordered a Jallab royal ( which is kind of a delicious kir  Royal from what I tasted). Will definitely go back!

Beluga Restaurant & Bar

One of the best Iranian restaurants I've been to. Ordered the hummus, bread , mixed grill and lamb chops. Portions very big, the meat was cooked to perfection.
Very nicely decorated and service was very very friendly, would go back again.

Good food and excellent customer service. Very beautiful decoration. Their Kebabs are very delicious and fresh. I ordered Tahchin with aubergine. It was a hit greasy for me

We ordered a selection of mezze and all were great. Good spicing and decent portions. The staff were friendly and the restaurant was well lit and with a polished decor

The is one of the best Iranian restaurants in London, the food was so good that I went there twice. The restaurant atmosphere is excellent and worm. Food is exceptional and versatile. I recommend the Chlow kebeb with saffron rice. All food lovers must visit this restaurant.

I've always wanted to try Beluga as I live locally...went for the first time over the weekend and it was incredible! Lovely atmosphere, nice staff and most importantly delicious food. Thanks for making the evening a memorable one.

Akoya

What a wonderful experience at Akoya Restaurant this afternoon. Alex was so polite and helpful from the very beginning, every single staff I interacted with was also so professional and helpful, making this experience even more accommodating. Not to mention the beautiful decor & beautiful food. Honestly couldn’t be happier I chose to host a brunch here. Will definitely be coming back x

So glad I found this place in the heart of Portobello road. Spent the evening at the beautiful shisha terrace. The food was delicious… absolutely loved the dessert’s. The staff are also so kind and welcoming! They really care about their customers. Thank you so much!

Definitely a place I’ll be visiting again.

Hommous was amazing ! As was the rest of the food

Never seen sneakers and a restaurant mixed in such a nice way! definitely going to see pictures of people posing near the sneaker tree all over socials!

Fantastic service, great food and an amazing location! The waiters are very friendly and accommodating and there’s always a table waiting for us. The roof is perfect during the day and even in the evening for a casual shisha. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a great vibe!

Amazing place for Lebanese food. Food is super yummy, Shisha is very nice as well. Also, service, atmosphere and the design of the place are amazing too. The cute lady, Lenia, is so helpful and nice. If I can give 10 stars, I’ll. Highly recommended.

American, gourmet food concept inspired by a true love for eggs

We tried out the Fairfax Egg Sandwich from @eggslutuk , and while it was tasty and the eggs were soft and creamy, it was underwhelming and definitely not filling enough for it’s price.

@cravinghalal's review of Eggslut Notting Hill on Instagram

Eggslut Portobello

Came here to eat after seeing so many great reviews. This was certainly not a let down. Right at the top of the market and easy to find. The sandwiches were awesome. The hash browns were to die for  and all The food is as good as they say. The staff were very friendly but not intrusive and so helpful.
There was a small queue to get in as we turned up at lunchtime on a Saturday. So pleased we waited.

My son asked me to go back, as he tried it before and loved it.
My only concern this time was the bread felt so dry, not sure why. Brioche buns usually melt in your mouth as they are too soft and yummy. Also felt like there wasn't enough sauce in it. Didn't taste the honey mustard much.

Tasty, but don't quite understand the hype.

We had to wait outside for a while to read the menu, and wasn't allowed in straight away, with no reason given. Finally got in to find 1 table of about 7 filled, with no queue, so very confusing as to why we had to look at the menu outside.

Food arrived, looks great, a bit oily, but tasted good.

Overall, the food was good, and service good for fast food. Venue was clean, but table could've done with a wipe (again, the place was near-empty). Just don't understand the popularity of it, really nothing special. I guess good scrambled eggs and a neon sign equals Instagram famous.

Cute little branch tucked in the middle of Portobello Market. If you sit by the bar area, you will be able see them prepare your sandwich for you.

Chef Bruno is the best ever! I had an amazing opportunity to be able to experience their exclusive masterclass on how to make the Fairfax burger. It was such an amazing experience! I wanna take this time to thank the staff, they are AMAZING!! Can't wait to bring my fambam here 🥰🥰🥰

Our beef bacon, wagyu beef and turkey sausage are halal available at all stores!

The Ledbury

Best sangria on this continent!!! Paella rice to perfection. Ask for extra crispy. Good memories from Spain... we've been here during Spanish guitar night... lovely atmosphere!! Family or romantic date is perfect. We love the new items on the menu, definitely a must try every single one.

Sommelier was knowledgeable and all other staff had impeccable service. Food was top notch. Will recommend the the tasting menu absolutely

I ate a pleasant meal, I was very happy with the environment and the hospitality, I hope they keep the same trend.

What a wonderful experience!
Best fine dining restaurant I have eaten so far!
Beautiful food, friendly and professional service, and wonderful dining room!
It was a real pleasure to be there!
Thank you team Core!

The Ledbury just never fails.  I've been coming here for years when looking for a special treat and they always go above and beyond.  Being a quite "particular" eater, I often find fine dining a struggle, with haughty chefs and staff disdaining or outright refusing to accommodate food preferences; The Ledbury couldn't be more gracious about it.  Having catalogued my preferences over the years, they outdid themselves with the tasting menu yesterday.  While my companion happily dined on the standard tasting menu, every one of my courses took my preferences into consideration and was adapted accordingly.  I might have been embarrassed by the extreme effort that went into this, if I wasn't so busy enjoying every exquisite bite.  All of this was accompanied by wonderful wines selected with the sage advise of the sommelier.  Beyond the quality of the food and wine, the whole staff are just on another level of excellent (special shout out to Darren and Jeremy).  It's true it's a pricey experience, not intended for daily dining, but I've never left feeling even a penny short of delighted.  Thank you to the whole Ledbury team for another wonderful visit.
