It is also home to many brunch places, which is a great time to eat delicious food, people-watch and soak up the cool Notting Hill vibes. There’s plenty of places to choose from, but the list below are 10 of my favourite brunch places in Notting Hill. They include lots of options, whether you’re in the mood for heartier brunches such as Middle Eastern mezze at Akub, or lighter and healthier options at Farm Girl.
