Billed as a combo wine bar, restaurant and music venue, Caia quickly earned a reputation as one of the more vibey places in Notting Hill. Billed as a European bistro with Asian ingredients (John Javier is now behind the menu), that translates into dishes like tagliolini with smoked eel & yuzu kosho. The counter is the place to be, particularly if you're mainly here for the food (although cocktails are excellent too).

Set with the impressive arts and design collective Ladbroke Hall, Pollini is their seasonal Italian restaurant. It's led by chef Emanuele Pollini, who has worked at a host of Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy before this. The room is impressive, if a little cavernous, and Pollini's creative take on traditional Italian cuisine is proving popular.
