Akub
This new Palestinian restaurant caused a bit of a stir when it opened in Notting Hill due to not serving halal meats. But Akub is still worth visiting for its refined & innovative approach to modern Palestinian cuisine. The Arabic Coffee French Toast has been stealing quite a bit of the spotlight in the Notting Hill brunch scene.

Sunday In Brooklyn
Those gigantic thick pancakes went viral when Sunday In Brooklyn first landed in London from New York. From our experience there, we weren’t overly impressed with it, but they have remained popular amongst Londoners so each to their own. You can check out our full review here.

Buvette
American restaurants seem to like to settle in Notting Hill when opening in London as Buvette is another New York sensation to arrive in the area. The winning item on the menu, in our opinion, was the Belgian waffle, whereas the scrambled eggs were relatively lacklustre. You can check out our full review here.
