A sophisticated chef-owned restaurant in Notting Hill Gate, La Sophia offers French Mediterranean cuisine infused with Lebanese ingredients . With elegant Mediterranean-style decor and high ceilings, the cosy candle-lit dining area makes La Sophia a chic destination in which to enjoy superb cuisine and wonderful cocktails.
One of London's best kept gastronomic secrets, just a stones throw from Portobello Road, expect such classic French dishes as Confit de Canard and Escargots de Bourgogne with a Lebanese twist. Their whole menu is also entirely halal.
La Sophia are not your standard gastro restaurant though. With live jazz bands on every Friday night and a BYOB policy with no corkage, it's a definite stand-out. Regularly attracting a number of well-to-do individuals (including royalty), its great food, reasonable prices and nice add-ons make it a must visit restaurant.
