From Euston to Notting Hill

Saturday, July 13th , 2024

The Ledbury in Notting Hill continues to be a popular restaurant with its tasting menu only format now awarded three Michelin stars. I was a regular here pre-Covid when Brett Graham was running the tiny kitchen, but after it reopened in 2022 I had a rather erratic meal. Things seem to have settled down now and the wine listed has reverted to being reasonable value, which it always used to be but was not the case on the reopening. To be honest I still preferred the cooking in the old days, but this was certainly a good meal.

Diwana Bhel Poori has been serving great value vegetarian Indian snacks near Euston station since 1971. The bhel poori, sev poori and other dishes here are well made and tasty, served quickly and at a price that seems like something from another age. It has long been a regular haunt of mine.
