Harden's says
"intimacy, simplicity, and purity” is Victor Garvey’s stated aim at this Notting Hill debut from January 2026 which he describes as “my own little world that I’d like to personally invite people into, one service at a time”. The little world in question has 16 seats, and to be invited in requires a minimum of £170 per person at dinner or £99 per person at lunch. Sample dishes on the website include Atlantic bonito cured in chorizo fat, grilled over binchotan charcoal, served with roasted onion vinegar jelly, mikan and beni-tade; Chawanmushi of bouchot mussels with finger-lime, coriander root and green curry; and Gyoza of langoustine, duck liver and preserved fig with black truffle and aged black rice vinegar. At SO|LA he and his team have won consistently high ratings so this will be one to watch

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
