Restaurant Reviews

Another one of Naples' top pizza restaurants has arrived in London. This time it's the turn of iconic pizzeria 50 Kalò di Ciro Salvo, and it's all about the dough...

Notting Hill's Ukai is very much in the fusion mould - mainly Japanese, but taking in Mediterranean and Sough American incluences. The Robata grill is put to good use - and look out for their snacks, aka "Japas".

This Notting Hill pub is highly rated by locals. The ethos is "Eat heartily and give the house a good name'" which translated to a modern gastropub, with a strong selection of oysters and shellfish.

This egg-focused, brunch-heavy restaurant comes from Ennismore (the same people behind the Hoxton hotels). There are all types of eggs - in burgers, omelettes, salads and even simple bioled eggs and soldiers if that's what you fancy.

Natoora is already known for their excellent grocery stores, and this Notting Hill outpost also features an in-store cafe, the Natoora Counter. Open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch, each dish on the menu will be fully traceable, owing to the fact that Natoora has its own supply chain and knows all of its producers.

Originally beginning life as Cool Chile Co stall on Portobello Road, they moved inside to become Taqueria, serving up tacos, tostados, ceviches and more Mexigan food ever since.

This Tonkotsu is a small departure from the rest, as they have a counter-style ramen bar of the kind you'll find in Tokyo. Inside they'll have some old favourite ramen dishes as well as the Tonkotsu classics - homemade gyoza and chicken karaage.

Imagine landing a fabulous house share in Notting Hill. That's the premise of this pop-up turned permanent bar and restaurant on All Saints Road..

If you know your chia seeds from your raw cacao nibs, this is one for you. Farm Girl, is a mecca for uber-health conscious Londoners, and this was their first outpost in London. Expect coconut BLTs, gluten-free doughnuts, smoothies and more.

This is the latest from Martin Morales, the man behind Andina and Ceviche. It sees him bringing not only another Andina restaurant to Notting Hill but also London's first Peruvian bakery to the area.

Popular from the moment it opened, Bancone's key attraction is its head chef who trained in Locanda Locatelli who's behind those amazing 10-hour cooked ragus.

Charred, smoked and grilled is the name of the game at Brigadiers, which is cooking up all manner of kebabs, chops, tikka and feasting options for hungry City sorts at the Bloomberg Arcade, with a huge selection of beer to wash it all down. It comes from the same people behind Trishna, Hoppers and Gymkhana - so it's easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the City (with a good bar too).

Batonnage is a wine bar and shop in Belgravia with over 300 wines to either drink there or take home. There's a menu of Modern European small plates and cheese - and look out for guest chef takeovers.

This Italian restaurant takes its name from one of the most popular Italian pasta dishes - and yes, they can do a mean cacio e pepe (served in a Parmesan basket). Expect homemade pasta, antipasti and wines (it acts as a wine bar too).

Cambridge Street Cafe, took over as the main restaurant at the Artist's Residence in Pimlico. There's an ever-changing seasonal menu with British influences and a downstairs cocktail bat called Clarendon Cocktail Cellar.

This Ottoman restaurant in Pimlico features mezza, kebabs and more besides. There's a reason it's always busy (and buzzy) - it serves up dependably good Turkish food.
