Notting Hill, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“Very good pizzas” are the pick of the broad Italian menu (also with seafood on display) at this Notting Hill Gate fixture, where the best seats in summer are on the large outside terrace. With a “great family atmosphere”, it’s “very much a local restaurant, and all the better for that!”.

A spin-off from Chelsea’s Wild Tavern, the DNA of owners George Bukhov-Weinstein & Ilya Demichev (who run the Goodman and Burger & Lobster chains) is evident at this late 2023 newcomer on one of Notting Hill’s main drags, on a site that was previously 202 (RIP). “Buzzy”, with a “sort of happening vibe”, it “looks amazing” but most reports consider the mix of raw bar, pasta and grilled surf ’n’ turf “overpriced” and “sounding better than it tastes”… “lovely to sit in, but wouldn’t hurry back”.
