Notting Hill offers up a varied scope of eateries, from Michelin-starred eateries to some more chilled out lunch venues. If you’re just in the mood for a casual meal or you want to try out some high-end dishes, there is something for everyone’s tastes.
CORE BY CLARE SMYTH
The debut restaurant for, quite simply, one of the best chefs in the world, Smyth’s tasting menus have won wide-spread critical acclaim – and it’s earned Core two Michelin stars in the process. This is fine dining at its pinnacle.

THE COW
The real spirit of Notting Hill is a little rough and ready, which is why Tom Conran’s Irish pub is a true local haunt. It may seem a little scruffy from the outside, but this is the kind of place where the barman knows your name, shakes your hand and hands you your regular gin-tonic-and-two-cubes-of-ice before you’ve even had time to blink. And as unusual as it may seem for a pub, they specialise in seafood, so it’s undoubtedly one of the best places in London to eat oysters.

GRANGER & CO
This Australian brunch spot opened to only moderate fan-fare when it launched back in 2012, but with queues for a plum spot spilling into the streets week after week (and indeed, year after year) it’s clear local residents can’t get enough. It’s light, airy and spacious interior makes for a lovely mid-morning stop-off. The ricotta banana pancakes are a particular brunch favourite, as is the “full Aussie” breakfast.

THE LEDBURY
One of the best restaurants in the world (yes, really), head to The Ledbury if you want a meal you’ll remember forever. It is undeniably a little pricey, but once your order arrives it will become abundantly clear why they are so deserving of two Michelin stars. The tasting menu is superb and full of fresh, seasonal ingredients.
