Hidden above a bustling café on Portobello Road, the Fat Badger is one of Notting Hill's best kept secrets. The dining room feels like a country farmhouse transported to West London, with wood panelling, candlelight and the warm scent of beeswax setting the mood for an intimate evening. Head chef George Williams, who honed his craft at the River Café, serves a seasonal British set menu that changes daily and is as unfussy as it is delicious.
Housed in a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse on Conduit Street that was once Christian Dior's London atelier, Sketch is one of Mayfair's most spectacular and deliberately hard to categorise destinations. Created by restaurateur Mourad Mazouz and French chef Pierre Gagnaire, it spans five wildly different spaces, from the forest-filled Glade and the golden Gallery to the three Michelin starred Lecture Room and Library upstairs, all united by an obsession with art, design and theatre. The egg shaped pod toilets alone are worth the visit.
