Portobello Garden - London

Wonderful hidden gem in the heart of Notting Hill on Portobello Road. This unassuming little caffe is located off the street offering a quiet alternative

If you're ever in notting hill this is the place to eat.

This is a hidden gem! Casual and funThe food was fabulously fresh and deliciousThe wine and beer was cold and reasonable.

I opted for the wild boar ravioli from the daily specials menu, which came with a rich tomato sauce. While the sauce was overpowering, the smoked ricotta topping added a unique touch. A colleague ordered potato gnocchi with beef ragù and found the gnocchi impressive but felt the dish lacked seasoning. Another colleague enjoyed the octopus salad, but we were disappointed to find the accompanying bread was garlic bread, not the traditional Italian bread we were expecting. Despite some inconsistencies with traditional Italian dishes, the overall experience at Portobello Garden Arcade was pleasant, with warm and hearty meals in a lively atmosphere. Overall, Portobello Garden Arcade offers more authentic Italian food compared to other budget-friendly Italian restaurants in London. While the dishes may not be exactly what you would find in Italy, the restaurant still provides a satisfying dining experience. I would definitely consider returning to try a different dish in the future.

This cozy and authentic Italian restaurant is tucked away behind the bustling Portobello street. The menu offers some unexpected choices, but my adventurous selection of a panini turned out to be delicious (and quite large, so consider sharing). The ingredients were of high quality, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
