The local tip: Check the kitchen timetable before visiting; Sunday roast service differs from the midweek menu.
Cue Point’s permanent kitchen residency at Garden Bar serves Texas-Afghan barbecue, combining low-and-slow smoked meats with Afghan flavours. The menu includes brisket, smoked lamb, seasonal vegetables and a Sunday roast, with halal, vegan and gluten-free options. Garden Bar has a large garden with covered outdoor seating.
The local tip: Book the garden in summer, and don't skip the yoghurt with spoon sweets.
A modern Greek restaurant on pretty Hillgate Street, operating since 2012 and still one of Notting Hill's best-known neighbourhood dining rooms. It turns taverna classics into something brighter and more refined, with a garden that is a strong summer booking. So loved it has spawned siblings across town, but this is the original.
The local tip: Make it a double bill: mezze and chargrilled fish upstairs, then finish downstairs in Naked & Famous — the basement bar earns the trip.
Named after the Greek god of the west wind. A cool, buzzy take on Greek cuisine right on Portobello Road. Modern mezze, chargrilled meat and fish, and a strong cocktail list. The basement bar Naked & Famous is worth the trip alone. The building sits at the intersection of Westbourne Grove and Portobello Road -- prime Notting Hill territory.
