Restaurants in Notting Hill

In recent times, the exuberant neighbourhood of Notting Hill has become almost synonymous with feelgood British movies, although this hotbed of multicultural diversity is best known for its ebullient, world-famous Carnival (held every August Bank Holiday weekend). Like this brilliantly flamboyant and colourful extravaganza, Notting Hill's restaurants are a colourful and eclectic bunch that fly the flag for cuisines from around the globe (from the Med to Malaysia).

e&o - Blenheim Crescent The letters of the fashionable lower-case logo stand for 'eastern' and 'oriental', which gives a good idea of the gastronomic theme behind this glitzy, gorgeous-looking Notting Hill rendezvous

Assaggi - Chepstow Place The simplicity of the place belies the quality of the food that emanates from Nino Sassu's kitchen. What he offers is perfectly attuned, robust Italian cooking based around impeccably sourced ingredients

The Ark - Palace Gardens Terrace A likeable, unpretentious addition to Notting Hill's effervescent gastronomic scene, the Ark has established itself as a reliable neighbourhood address - an oasis for truffle lovers!
