Notting Hill is the kind of place where a good day is guaranteed.
But the only thing that could make a day of vintage shopping at Portobello Market, pottering around pastel houses and feeling like you’re in going to run into Hugh Grant at any moment (still waiting) is adding some brunch to it.
Out of all the brunch spots in London, Notting Hill’s breakfast places are hard to beat. Whether it’s bottomless brunching in a cozy Italian cafe to impromptu morning catchups over a full English in an Instagrammable cafe it’s hard to outdo a West London breakfast, so let’s not try shall we? Here’s 10 yummy places to start your morning in Notting Hill the right way.

1. Farm Girl Café
59A Portobello Rd, London W11 3DB
After Rose Mann moved to London she decided to make her mark on the coffee scene—Aussie style. Founded in 2015 Farm Girl Café is the perfect place to spend a morning in Notting Hill for a guilt-free brunch—with all items deliciously health-conscious.
Order their signature ‘damn good coffee’ or treat yourself to a very Instagrammable Rose or Lavender Latte before eyeing up their breakfast menu with avocado toast, acai bowls and the likes.
P.S – They’re dog-friendly!

2. Eggslut
185 Portobello Rd, London W11 2ED
I’m always wary of wildly popular breakfast spots like Eggslut. Will it live up to the hype? Well, my fellow egg fanatic, I’m proud to say it does.
The L.A turned Notting Hill brunch spot was founded out of a love for all things eggy—and the menu shows it. If you’re in the mood for the classics take up their Bacon, Egg & Cheese (piping warm brioche bun included) or spice it up with their Gaucho Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich.
They also source nearly all of their goods from British producers, meaning all your breakfast is as fresh as it comes.

3. 202 Cafe
202 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2RH
From the outside, 202 Cafe looks like exactly the kind of place Julia Roberts would waltz into before making her way to the Notting Hill Bookshop (hey Hugh!).
Mixing high fashion with all things brunch 202 Cafe is as aesthetic as it is delicious. Brunch staples are a given here, with everything from a proper Full English to a creamy brioche French Toast that makes all your Notting Hill brunch fantasies come straight to life.
P.S There’s also lovely outdoor seating if you prefer your brekkie al fresco.

226 Westbourne Grove, London W11 2RH
Tucked in Westbourne Grove lies the weekend brunch you never knew you needed—but once you indulge, you’ll never go back.
When they’re not being Notting Hill’s favorite Italian restaurant during the week—Chucs serves a Sunday brunch that flocks droves of Notting Hill locals and tourists alike (so make sure you book in advance!).
Fan favorites include their Chalk Farm Smoked Salmon on Sourdough and Eggs Florentine. But you should certainly try the ‘Chucs Breakfast’ if you’ve come extra hungry.

6. Ottolenghi
63 Ledbury Rd, London W11 2AD
I was hesitant to include a chain on this list of best brunches in Notting Hill, especially considering the cuisine is far from British, and there’s not much room to sit once you’re there. But if you’re looking for a fantastic with North American and Middle Eastern flavours, I do suggest a visit to Ottolenghi.

8. Golborne Deli
100-102 Golborne Rd, London W10 5PS
Golborne Deli is where you go for good coffee and good food. Luckily for your day out in Notting Hill, you can enjoy both!
The fine wine & deli hub is a neighbourhood favourite, and for good reason. Smack in the middle of town with Mediterranean and Italian classics spilling out of the menu you can treat yourself to flavorful Feta on Sourdough or splurge on their Big Breakfast (crispy Pancetta included).
