Aphrodite

Old style Cypriot food named after the goddess of love, and literally round the corner from Lords Hotel. Huge yet affordable portions, charming chef Pantellis, and they still have candles in wine bottles for that vintage deco feeling!

Aphrodite Restaurant

Address: 15 Hereford Rd, London W2 4AB

Sunday in Brooklyn

Amazing USA style brunch if you were rather tired and missed our complementary breakfast at the hotel! Great pancakes with hazelnut spread that were made for sharing, and if you linger long enough you can have their ambrosial honey bear cocktail.

Address: 175 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2SB

Brasseria

A proper Italian wood panelled restaurant harking back to another era. Extremely glamorous yet not so expensive, be like Lady and the Tramp and slurp spaghetti together here.

Portobello Pizzeria

Don’t let the name fool you, Italian excellence in all things with a beautiful outdoor terrace, the pizzas are of course excellent but our favourite is the lip smacking pasta vongole.

Portobello London

Address: 7 Ladbroke Rd, London W11 3PA

Zuaya

A short stroll through the park will reward you with this Latin American spot with moody lighting and excellent cocktails to accompany a menu that’s a little bit different. Peruvian ceviches, Argentina empanadas and the best piscina sours in London.

The Pelican

How to make a pub delicious, cosy and inviting, well The Pelican has done all three and feels like an institution in the short time it has existed! Delicious bar snacks like mince on toast, monkfish scampi or Welsh rarebit, to the most satisfying lobster pie or rib eye steak expertly cooked. Day or night you can’t go wrong, with fun quiz nights and painting classes to boot!

Dorian

Another newcomer that has quickly established itself as an institution with chef Max Cohen’s perfectly executed rosti canapes, beef tartare and the best meat and fish in London. It’s crowded, buzzy, and near on impossible to get a table, so lunch is your best bet.

Vori

Another great Greek newcomer to the area, the perfect spot to recharge after a walk in Holland Park with some warming food to remind you of summer. Hyper local Greek food inspired by different islands means there is always something new and the food is created with a lightness of touch, from class Avolemono soup, via prawns saganaki, to some excellent grilled fish or meat options. A simple pared back interior to soothe your soul.

Six Portland Road

Tucked away off Holland Park is this little gem of a local restaurant. Despite it’s small proportions it offers a great seasonal menu of British and French comfort food, including a memorable pheasant ragu with barley, and the £28 for 3 course set menu is a complete bargain with this level of cooking.
