The Best Brunch Spots in Notting Hill

Granger & Co. is the stylish creation of Australian restaurant guru Bill Granger. The brunch menu is inspired by Granger’s travels and the sunny lifestyle of his hometown, Sydney. The restaurant serves contemporary Australian favourites such as ricotta hotcakes with banana and honeycomb butter, and sweetcorn fritters with roasted tomato, spinach and bacon. From the ‘Full Aussie’ to Vegemite and toasted coconut bread, Granger & Co. is the best brunch spot in Notting Hill for your taste of Australia.

Daylesford is an ideal spot for an organic brunch straight from the farm to fork. It’s a perfect place for the health-conscious brunch crowd; try the yoghurt fresh from their creamery in Gloucestershire, or the chia, goji berry and flaxseed bircher with natural yoghurt and stewed fruit. The café also offers a modern twist on English classics. If you find yourself wanting more, you can pick up fresh produce in their grocery, deli and bakery on the ground floor of the café on your way out.

Close to Portobello Road Market, Lowry & Baker captures the essence of Notting Hill’s neighbourly warmth. The rustic furniture and friendly staff create a homely atmosphere, making Lowry & Baker a great place to enjoy brunch. This independent coffee shop boasts freshly brewed coffee made with beans from Monmouth, as well as baked goods like their tantalising lavender shortbread and homemade granola. Alternatively, try a savoury dish such as the poached egg with smashed avocado. With high-quality food and coffee, it’s no wonder that this is a local people’s haunt.

Bluebelles of Portobello is a charming spot to dig into brunch. The mismatched vintage table and chairs and the table displays made from wooden crates add to the quirky decor of this café. There is also an outdoor patio to enjoy the sunshine, with blankets available to shield you from the oft-not-so-summery British summer. A popular dish is the toasted muffin with poached eggs, spinach and smoked salmon. Bluebelles serves all-day brunch including fresh artisan bread and a variety of their incredible speciality cakes.

Snaps + Rye is a contemporary Scandinavian kitchen and deli that specialises in Danish cuisine, created by husband-and-wife team Kell and Jacqueline Skött. The restaurant’s speciality is smørrebrød, the classic Nordic open-faced sandwich that is built on a layer of dense rye bread and usually topped with pork or cured herring. The interior of the restaurant is made from natural materials and has large windows and skylights, creating a relaxed, open, Danish feel, giving way to a new brunch experience.
