Notting Hill Brasserie

Who would have thought taking three townhouses and knocking them together into a single restaurant could result in something this stylish? The generously sized rooms of these former homes have been knocked together to create a series of inter-connected spaces, with high ceilings and moulded cornices and all painted a neutral off-white colour. The wooden floor, spot lighting, contemporary pieces of art and stunning flower arrangements result in a chic, classy restaurant. There is a separate cocktail bar and live jazz at Sunday lunchtimes. The accomplished kitchen impresses with execution and professionalism with both classic and original twists, while keeping things deceptively simple on crisply-scripted menus driven by quality seasonal ingredients. Seared tuna comes with soft-shelled crab and shellfish dressing among starters, followed by rack of Elwy Valley lamb with sweet potato purée, pithivier of shoulder and goat's cheese. Finish with milk ice cream with berry salad, lemon curd and crispy rice. Excellent breads and the likes of amuse-bouche match the upbeat performance.
