Notting Hill, Greek Restaurant Guide

“An excellent Greek, with a brilliant, relaxed atmosphere. Being Mediterranean, the staff love children. Highly recommended!” – In the thick of Portobello, this cosy spot is only three years old, but fairly conventional in style, complete with ‘traditional comfort cuisine’ and live Greek music.

“Very noisy” rustic-chic taverna tucked away near Notting Hill Gate station, which has won a sizable fan club thanks to its “delicious and inventive modern rendition” of the Greek classics.

The “delicious and interesting modern Greek food” is enjoyed by all who visit this “fun” if “slightly cramped and noisy” Notting Hill four-year-old – the “less formal sister to Mazi” nearby. (Founders Christina Mouratoglou and Adrien Carre were inspired by the cuisine of northern Greece, and named it after a film character who has passed into contemporary Greek folklore.)

This “chic-casual” venture from the Pachamama group in Notting Hill focuses on “modern Greek fusion food”, and has picked up plenty of fans in its inaugural year thanks to its “sophisticated cooking” and “buzzy” vibe. One repeated gripe: “bringing dishes when the kitchen fancies can lead to an odd sequence to meals!”
