The hardest thing to find in London after ten is a proper meal. Kitchens close early, and you're left choosing between a takeaway and going hungry. These Notting Hill restaurants keep cooking — real food, sat down, served by people who haven't already cashed up. The list you want on the nights dinner happens later than planned.
The local tip: The bacon naan roll is essential. Queue early on weekends
Dishoom's all-day Bombay-inspired bar-cafe in a grand Victorian building on Portobello Road. The breakfast naan rolls, black daal, and signature lamb chops are just as excellent as the main Dishoom restaurants, but the Permit Room format is more intimate and cocktail-forward. Live DJs, art-filled interiors. A tribute to the Irani cafes of old Bombay. Also has boutique lodging rooms upstairs.
The local tip: Mexican-Japanese fusion done right. The mole negro taco is a standout
A high-energy Japanese-Mexican fusion restaurant near Notting Hill Gate. The crab-stuffed tostaditos and spicy salmon on crispy rice are standout dishes. The concept draws from the shared Pacific coast heritage of Japanese and Mexican cuisines. Late-night hours and a strong cocktail programme make it a destination that extends well beyond dinner. The vibe is lively and social.
The local tip: Thai street food done properly. The pad kra pao is fiery and brilliant
The second outpost of one of London's most acclaimed Thai restaurants. Speedboat brings the flavours of Bangkok's Chinatown to Portobello Road: wok-fired stir fries, zingy salads, fragrant curries, and punchy noodles. The spicy chicken salad and drunken noodles are must-orders. From JKS Restaurants (behind Gymkhana, BAO). Set in the iconic former Electric cinema building. Open late on weekends.
What makes a great restaurant for a late one in Notting Hill?
A tag narrows the brief, but it does not do the ranking by itself. These restaurants still have to work in real life: the room, the service, the food, and whether I would send someone there for this exact reason.
