45 All Saints Road, London W11 1HE

This pub has undergone many iterations over its long lifespan but the newest revival has been a big hit with foodies and critics alike. The cosy atmosphere provides a backdrop to the small plates menu with dishes showcasing the local produce; their link to the local neighbourhood increases with regular events such as movie nights and Pilates classes.

Clare Smyth once led Gordon Ramsay's flagship London restaurant before going onto even bigger things and earning three Michelin stars here at Core. Expect fine dining (but in a relaxed atmosphere) with signature dishes like the Potato and Roe or the Core Apple not to be missed. If you can't get a reservation, the bar Whiskey and Seaweed (which also has bar snacks) is well worth a visit in itself.

105-107 Talbot Road, London W11 2AT

Notting Hill's Dorian has become one of the most popular restaurants in the area and much of that is down to a menu developed by their (original and now departed) head chef, Max Coen. Owned by Chris D'Sylva (Notting Hill Fish + Meat Shop), and billed as a "bistro for locals" they have a seasonal British/European menu on offer and a notably great wine list. It's a bit of a local celeb magnet and note that the prices here are some of the punchiest in the area.

123 Bayswater Rd, London W2 3JH

The Park is billed as a New World grand cafe and this restaurant from Jeremy King moves outside of his traditional European grand cafe comfort zone. Here, both the food and wine are influenced by the west coast of America and there's also a feel of mid-20th Century US glamour here too. Expect a wide range of food that includes everything from huge pies to seafood pasta with both US and European-influenced dishes appearing and a great cocktail list.
