Notting Hill, Greek Restaurant Guide

Chef Harris Mavropoulos opened this cosy modern taverna in the heart of Portobello at the start of 2020. It’s yet to garner much in the way of profile, but early feedback is encouraging and suggests it’s a cut above both the standard taverna experience, and also the often-disappointing standards of this chichi ’hood. (If you want to suss it out first, head to the downstairs Mykonos Bar).

With its fresh angle on “genuine Greek food”, this popular local in Hillgate Village, near Notting Hill Gate, provides something still rare in London – “a modern gastro take on the traditional taverna”. Top Tip – “the tarama is fantastic, as are the courgette cakes”.

“A great addition to Notting Hill” – Adrien Carre and Christina Mouratoglou’s “modern take on Greek tapas-style food” has gone down well since they opened it in summer 2019, next door to their enduring taverna Mazi. In truth, the food’s not that Greek: for example ‘grilled calamari, yuzu and jalapeno broth’, or ‘Scottish langoustines, lime and lemon zest, verbena’.
