Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria

Taking Bookings

When it comes to pizza restaurants in Notting Hill, Portobello Ristorante Pizzeria is just the place to be. The Ladbroke Road venue is bringing the flavours of Italy to this iconic neighbourhood, alongside a selection of wood-fired pizzas with that signature blistered crust. 

Pizzas here come topped with indulgent options like truffle cream and 'nduja, or you can keep it classic with a margherita and more. Topping it off? Chargrilled steaks, pasta and fish also make up the menu items.

Cottons Notting Hill Gate

Taking Bookings

Holding the Guinness World Record for the most rums commercially available (at 372 bottles), Cottons is a fun, colourful restaurant in Notting Hill Gate. The Caribbean spirit runs through the entire place, from their pretty, plant-filled interiors to the menu of mixed jerk grill platters, vegetable curry, pan-fried seabass and so much more. You can also get your hands on a classic Sunday roast with a Caribbean twist here, as well as three-course bottomless brunches for just £34.50 per person on Saturdays.

The Hayden Pub & Rooms

The Hayden isn't just a pretty face in Notting Hill - it features a modern European menu that changes with the seasons. From indulgent Sunday roasts to elegant Eggs Royale, the kitchen crafts dishes with care, quality, and flair. With its stylish interiors and warm, buzzy vibe, The Hayden is a top pick for both romantic dinners and relaxed get-togethers with friends. Don't miss their weekday lunch deal - £15 for a main and a drink is as satisfying as it is affordable.

Canteen

Among the colourful streets and vintage markets of Notting Hill, Canteen stands out as a local favourite that nails the balance between laid-back and exceptional. Located just off Portobello Road, it offers seasonal Italian dishes in a deli-chic setting, complete with canary-yellow banquettes and steel countertops.

The menu changes often but always impresses - whether you're dropping in for a quick bowl of risotto or staying for dessert and a bottle of wine. 

The Barbary

Zoë and Layo Paskin's latest venture sees the Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant, The Barbary, set up camp in London's Notting Hill after its success in Neal's Yard. Venture over to enjoy rich interiors and a mouthwatering menu inspired by the flavours of the Barbary Coast. 

Head chef Daniel Alt oversees plates that nod to cuisines spanning Southern Europe to Northern Africa. Look forward to tucking into the likes of Kapia pepper and feta brûlée, seabass chermoula, coffee rub organic chicken, and more, paired with exquisite wines. 

Canal

Nestled alongside the picturesque canals of Westbourne Park, Canal is a relaxed, modern European eatery that's part of the acclaimed Mason & Fifth family. Set in the historic former headquarters of London Taxi Drivers, the space effortlessly combines industrial character with warm, contemporary touches, such as timber accents, soft ambient lighting, and a sun-drenched terrace right on the water's edge. 

The menu celebrates seasonal sharing plates crafted by the team behind beloved local favourites Crispin and Bistro Freddie, ensuring each dish reflects the freshest ingredients and flavours of the moment. Complementing the food is a thoughtfully curated drinks selection, created in partnership with A Bar with Shapes for a Name, perfect for pairing or enjoying on its own.
